Sufjan Stevens - "Dear Mr. Supercomputer" (MP3)
"Illinois could have used this fleeting moment of instrumental brawn, the kind of super-arranger sleight-of-hand that can politely overwhelm," sayeth Pitchfork.

Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

Thanks to everyone buying shirts. If you don't want to buy a shirt, you can add me as a friend to MySpace. That's a really cheap birthday gift, but I appreciate it more than e-cards.
Oh, and thanks Sufjan for the song. Great present, man.

relevant comment: sufjan- for his age- might be one of the greater arrangers of our time.

YES.
I have always been excited about hearing this song since I heard Sufjan describe it in an interview. He described how it was all acoustic for a song about technology, and the weird meter, and how it's one of his favorite songs.
Yes!

I really like this song.
And now I've got almost 1/10 of the new Sufjan album/b-sides/outakes thing (not accounting for interludes and other stuff that glues his albums together.)
Thank you much, Stereogum!

woohoo, im from champaign and this is for sure a sweet song.

I'll be curious to see the lyrics to this one. The vocal seems pretty hushed to my ears. Maybe repeated listens will help. I'm sure I'll find out.
Score = 0
Nobody's saying it, so I will:
How's about that COBRA AND PHASES GROUP PLAY VOLTAGE IN THE MILKY NIGHT? You know, the 1999 LP by Stereolab? Gettin' much play in the Sufjan household by any chance?
I love S.S.'s music to bits, but this is quite amusing. I guess the percentage of people that know both his music and that album is smaller than I'd like it to be.
