Sufjan sounds like that "IT IS FUN TO MAKE A BLOG ON THE COMPUTER WEBSITE" guy.

Dan - isn´t that album amazing? I´ve been trying to convince Megan for a while but she still has some contentions. Something about being weirded out by him singing about some serial killer...I don´t know what she´s talking about...ha! I love the Wasps of the Palisades tune...see him live for me since I won´t get a chance to this year.
