Come On, Feel The Illinoise!

If you've never heard of Sufjan Stevens, you should feel ashamed of yourself. But not for long. To appease the guilt, simply listen to a couple of tracks from his 2005 album Illinois, also known as Come On, Feel The Illinoise, which seems like a pretty awesome name, until you start reading some of the track names, like The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!' and They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!. Yeah. My favorite song of his is Jacksonville.
