Sufjan Stevens is back...
... and up to his usual, strange ways. This time the Brooklyn Academy of Music commissioned a work to be done about the Brooklyn-Queens expressway. Sufjan, in his usual methodical way, spent 9 months researching and filming and writing about the expressway and made an album out of it. Just the other day I was telling Becky how I was sad that Sufjan Stevens didn't release anymore music because I love his strange music. It is very cinematic. Then Chris told me this morning about this Sufjan Stevens BQE album. I read about it and then purchased it because I love it. He also made a movie using Super 8mm and 16mm film. This is like a trailer for the film. Strange? Yes. Hoolahoop super women? Yes. Don't ask. I don't know.

I just heard all about this on my way to work the other morning on NPR. They interviewes Sufjan Stevens. Very interesting. I'm not sure you know this, but there is some serious hoola hooping here in Missoula!
