Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think Michigan is easily Sufjan Stevens' most realized album (and my favorite).

Easily? I can see a preference for Michigan over Illinois, but I don't get seeing such a huge gap between the two.

Especially since Illinois is better.

I don't see a huge gap between them, either, but both are a great leap forward from his prior albums.

Let's let wrongheadedboy make his case. I'm willing to be swayed.

Now, now, let's not be mean to the new guy.

(I don't really like Sufjan Stevens at all.)

The new guy's a long-running music & book blogger (with impeccable taste, I might add, if his link to Lisa's band didn't tip you off). I'm pretty sure he can hold his own if he sticks around.

Oh, I'm sure. I just mostly needed an excuse to say that I didn't like Sufjan Stevens.
