AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Ever heard of him?

Notoriously long song titles, and more albums than I expected and am sad I don't own yet, but now one of my favourite artists.

I wouldn't suggest him to people like KaDoom, because he's probably the farthest thing from metal ever, but whatever.

I find all of his songs addictingly catchy, and most are soothing, although the occassional will break that stereotype.

Give him a listen if you've never heard of him? (Here's my favourite one, if you're too lazy to look him up and just want a link to click: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf5kG8drK ... re=related )

"Chicago"?

Nice guy.

"The Black Hawk War, Or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself In the Morning, Or, We Apologize for the Inconvience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, Or I have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them."

Shall I edit it to say some notoriously long song titles instead?

"Animals are Cut In Two" is also good.

"Chicago"?

Illinois is such a great album. Sufjan kids, you should listen to Microphones. Get the album The Glow Pt. 2.

This thread x 10, and then maybe Exactoman will come back.

Sufjan Stevens is amazing. When he sings, he sounds like he's going to start crying. Always. He wears angel wings when he performs live. His backup singers wear fairy wings. He released a Christmas album. He vowed to make an album for all fifty states (I can't wait for Delaware and Alaska). He wrote a song called, "Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!)" The song is actually really sad. He wrote possibly the world's only (correct me if I'm wrong and cite your sources) song about zombies that isn't loud and upbeat. He wrote a song in five-four time. He wrote a song where the meter alternates between five-four and six-four every measure. He has his own record label named after his cat. He sings about Jesus, and nobody minds. On Illinois alone, he plays the accoustic guitar, piano, wurlitzer, electric bass, drum kit, electric guitar, oboe, alto sax, flute, banjo, glockenspiel, accordion, vibraphone, tenor, soprano, sopranino, and alto recorders, Casiotone MT-70, sleigh bells, shakers, tambourine, triangle, and electric church organ ("Oh Lord, help us!" says the CD jacket after listing all those).

Long song titles include They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!; A Conjunction of Drones Simulating the Way in Which Sufjan Stevens Has an Existential Crisis in the GREAT GODFREY MAZE; The Vivian Girls Are Visited In The Night By Saint Dargarius And His Squadron Of Benevolent Butterflies; and Riffs and Variations on a Single Note for Jelly Roll, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Baby Dodds, and the King of Swing, to Name a Few; to name a few.

I expected no less from you, Water! I knew you were going to post here. You big cutie!

"Chicago"?

Its pretty good.
buuuuuuuut....



Needs moar cowbell.

Star did gud, yay! *claps*

Actually, I didn't know any of that stuff, really. I'm amazed one of my favourite artists is actually so good.

Tell me, WAter, oh music guru that you are, is Elliot Smith anything to write home about or is he merely too fluffed up for his own good? (My friend is fucking obsessed with him and thinks he's the greatest musician there ever was because he played an excess of instruments aswell.)

Elliott Smith isn't anything special. His songs are all so similar, and the lyrics aren't the transcendental word of God that his fans make it out to be.

Listen to Microphones!!

Get The Glow Pt. 2.

I love me some Sufjan.

Thank you, I thought so aswell. Of course, it doesn't matter anyways because nothing I say will convince her isn't God's gift to music, but whatever.

Come on now, feel the Illinois

EDIT: GOD daisies IT THIS POST EDITING IS PISSING ME OFF. Seriously, if I misspell Illinois, quickly correct it and then press 'submit', then daisies IT I WANT TO SUBMIT IT, NOT PREVIEW IT.
