Music: Dear Sufjan Stevens: The world needs you. Where are you?
- We get it, man. 50 states is a lot of work, and most human beings wouldn’t dare take on such a monumental task. But you’ve done it twice already, and both times you nailed it. Since then, though, you’ve been kind of quiet – running a label, blogging and producing other bands. You’ve done little things: Christmas music, a comp appearance and a song that this guy is hoarding for listening parties in his Brooklyn apartment.
- Keep going, bro! Four years ago this week, you released “Illinois,” a truly epic combination of everything that makes you great. Since then, you released the outtakes from that album, but no third state is forthcoming. It’s not like you’re lacking in subject matter: Minnesota, North Dakota, Nevada and South Carolina just to name four topics. On this Independence Day, here’s our wish, Sufjan: Come home. We miss you. :(
