Christmas is coming early this year. A little history (forgive me is this is not 100% accurate). Back in the day, Sufjan Stevens, using his magical powers, would create cds full of Christmas song covers (and some original Christmas songs) to send to his relatives. These were not meant to be commercially released. One day, a [...]
Just a quick snippet: For those of you who are Sufjan Stevens fans, the guy has finally peered his head out a little from his shell to write up a review on band, Cryptacize, which is on his label's roster of artists.The band itself is a little quirky, a bit simplistic and take-me-as-I-am ish. Or, you could just read Stevens' review on them and enjoy his metaphors and quirky similes and comparisons

Come On Feel The Illinoise

Tenía ciertas dudas sobre si escribir o no este artículo, no se trata de un disco nuevo (se editó en 2005) ni se trata de ningún clásico atemporal (aún) pero que demonios, llevo mas de dos semanas enganchado a estas canciones y que mejor lugar para soltar mis [...]

It's Christmas time again! That means tightly bundled scarves, lively debates on the merits of real/plastic trees, a litany of Christmas television specials, and finding the perfect retro Christmas wrapping paper.And gifts of course! Who could forget the gifts!That's why Sufjan Stevens is busy working on a very special gift right now, for a very special person. And in the spirit of Christmas, that person will give Sufjan a similarly special gift.Here's how it works: write an original Christmas song, record it, and email the song to us. Asthmatic Kitty will pick a winner, and that person will trade rights to their song for rights to Sufjan's song.Just like a gift exchange, Sufjan's song becomes your song. You can hoard it for yourself, sell it to a major soft drink corporation, use it in your daughter's first Christmas video, or share it for free on your website. No one except Sufjan and you will hear his song, unless you decide otherwise. You get the song and all lega

Happy Belated Casimir Pulaski Day! For those unaware, yesterday was a city wide holiday in Chicago. Kids even get off of school on the first Monday in March to celebrate the great Polish American War General Casimir Pulaski. Here is a quote from the Asthmatic Kitty website.
“Born into a wealthy family in Poland in 1747, Casimir Pulaski, as a young man, fought for freedom from Russia in his homeland until 1771, when he was exiled to France. In Paris he met American envoy Benjamin Franklin, who influenced him to help Americans fight for their independence. Washington was so impressed with Pulaski’s abilities during the Battle of Brandywine Creek that he recommended the Continental Congress appoint Pulaski as general of the American cavalry. In 1778, Pulaski organized an independent corps of cavalry and light infantry known as the Pulaski Legion. It is reported that he spent $50,000 of his own money to help train and equip his troops.”
