Short but sweet..

I understand about 10% of everything he says. I can't explain why I find Sufjan and this album in particular so affecting. He makes me cry.

Very glad to hear Sufjan on RP and this is one of my favorite songs. Thank you so much for playing it!

Intriguing to listen to if it's your thing.

Easy to ignore if it isn't your thing.

All good, either way.

I disagree with your opinion of the song, but the pic you posted made me laugh!

Thanks Carl, that was pretty cool!

This song was used in a pretty cool stop motion movie made a few years back.

I love this song. I love Sufjan. Great stuff!

"troll" - right. . . nice job of quickly pigeon-holing a guy because he posts something with which you disagree.

SS is a twee poseur (I have seen SS in concert, and I did pay for an SS CD or two) and is a perfect example of the kind of weak drivel often thought of as thought provoking, or creative, but really is just sort of novel in a fleeting way. . . I've done my best to like this stuff, to think of it as art, but the best I can do is see it as a failed attempt at Dadaism. . .

Great song.  I'm glad to hear more Sufjan on RP.  Keep it up!

Agreed! His song titles and their content always amuse me. Can't say as I'd listen to his records over and over again, though...

Prettiest, strangest song, I ever did hear.

Got any Shakin' Stevens?

i always turn up the volume when this get played.

This time I also checked the comments, with pictures of people throwing up.

Tnx RP for keep playing this kind of stuff. My record collection would be
a bit smaller without the UFO sightings I often do here.

Take the chance to see this guy on stage, with his incredible band.
It's like Donovan meeting Frank Zappa...

you just have to recognize that it is actually in a foreign tongue - I think it is Gibberish.

This song doesn't sound quite right unless ...

"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 Youre Gonna Have To Leave Now, Or, I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight..."

is played right after.

Where does he come up with these song titles? The title is longer than the song!

My friend made a cool video out of stock footage and this song for a stock footage film festival. Check it out if you like this tune.

Has this song started or are they still tuning their instruments?

Cool. Fun to play on the piano.

What a wonderful freak this man is. The world needs more like him.

Man has a sense of humour you have to appreciate that.

Another artist introduced to me by radioparadise who I will love forever.

Exquisit!

Bought the album just to have this available in high fidelity.

Note to self - avoid swamp thing.
