Sufjan (ultimate gig)

Sufjan Stevens is coming to Melbourne.

And we are going to see him.

!

My ultimate Sufjan gig would include the following songs (regardless of whether they ‘go’ together)

• From the Mouth of Gabriel – All Delighted People
• John Wayne Gacy Jnr. – Come On Feel the Illinoise
• The Predatory Wasp of the Palisaides is out to get us! – Come On Feel the Illinoise
• Casimir Pulaski Day – Come On Feel the Illinoise
• Chicago – Come On Feel the Illinoise
• The Dress Looks Nice On You – Seven Swans
• To Be Alone With You – Seven Swans
• He Woke Me Up Again – Seven Swans
• The Transfiguration – Seven Swans
• A Good Man is Hard to Find – Seven Swans
• Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing – Songs for Christmas
• Sister Winter – Songs for Christmas
• Star of Wonder – Songs for Christmas
• Holy, Holy, Holy – Songs for Christmas
• Futile Devices – The Age of Adz
• No Man’s Land – The Avalanche
• Romulus – Greetings from Michigan
• For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti – Greetings from Michigan

So… mostly all of Seven Swans (really) and although ‘A Sun Came’ is not bad at all and A Winner Needs A Wand is pretty decent it’s not the best of the best. I haven’t listened to The Age of Adz quite enough yet to fully make up my mind.

I really think that Sister Winter and He Woke Me Up Again come in on top of my list.

What’s on yours?
