I recently sat down with Sufjan Stevens at the Diner on 9th Avenue in Manhattan to talk about the release of The BQE CD/DVD for a piece in Art In America and Interview. We touched on the new project, but also got into a discussion of some of Stevens's recent interviews (see Shannon Stephens), the Internet, art, and the future. When I asked about any new State recordings he spoke about the reasons he's not focusing on them right now -- which we sorta already knew. More interestingly (to me at least) is that he talked about how he wants "to become a better singer." Interesting because I've always found the way Stevens sings to be one of the most appealing aspects of his project. (Have you seen the drop-dead gorgeous take on "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." from a couple years back?) With that in mind, here's Stevens's thoughts on how he might mix things up vocally and why the Internet needs to be disarmed.Continue reading Sufjan Stevens On Art, The Internet, And, Yes, The 50 States Project...
