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...

Seemingly every time we at Stereogum publish a retrospective on some classic album, someone responds, "Fuck, I'm old." But the landmark musical releases of your youth turning 10 or 20 years old is only one of many ways you can be alerted to your own aged status. For instance, I have recently discovered that Hulu…

Sufjan Stevens: Pens Essay About Love For Loving Day
submitted by Nick Jun 13th 2019 02:00 pm (stereogum.com)
Today is June 12, Loving Day -- a sort of unofficial holiday that celebrates the end of one of America's most noxiously racist policies. On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Loving V. Virginia, striking down the anti-miscegenation laws that were still on the books in 16 states. Richard…
