[quote:f496bea57e]1------SUFJAN'S CHRISTMAS CONTEST! FREE STREAM----------------------------------------------

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 a new Sufjan Christmas song.

Just like a gift exhange, Sufjan's new 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 legal rights to it. We get the same rights to your song.

Contest begins November 9th, and all submissions must be in by midnight December 1st. We will contact and announce the winner on or around December 15th.

We are also placing Sufjan's 5-album Christmas set online for free until December 25th!

Go here for more details, and to listen to the full Sufjan Christmas album for free:

The Age of Adz (pronounced odds) is Sufjan Stevens first full-length collection of original songs since 2005s civic pop opus Illinois. This new album is probably his most unusual, first, for its lack of conceptual underpinnings, and second, for its preoccupation with Sufjan himself. The album relinquishes the songwriters former story-telling techniques for more primal proclamations unhindered by concepts: there are few narrative conceits or character sketches; there are no historical panoramas, no civic gestures, no literary maneuvers, no expository illustrations drenched in cultural theory, no scene, setting, conflict, resolution, or denouement. Sufjan has stripped away the fabric of narrative artifice for a more primitive approach, emphasizing instinct over craft. The result is an album that is perhaps more vibrant, more primary, and more explicit than anything else hes done before. The themes developed here are neither historical nor polemical, but rather personal and primal (if even a little juvenile): love, sex, death, disease, illness, anxiety, and suicide make appearances in a tapestry of electronic pop songs that convey a sense of urgency, immediacy, and anxiety as never before seen in this songwriter.
Of course, the theme of unmitigated love (and affection) runs deepest, often with shameless candor. Whether singing about a sleepover, old age, illness, or the Apocalypse, Sufjan cant help but render everything through the lens of love and affection, the desire for contact, closeness, and connection. Perhaps this reveals what weve known all along in spite of the conceptual pageants and epic displays: that Sufjan is fundamentally a sensualist. And a morbid one, at that. Death looms large, either as an oracle at the apex of a volcano or as a shadowy omen in the window at night. What are we to make of these emotional and romantic climaxes back-dropped by fuming volcanoes, alien space craft, and demonic deities dressed like Boba Fett?
The cosmic themes are only more augmented by the obvious sonic shift on this album, which is deliberately electronic, synthesized (and occasionally danceable!). Acoustic guitars and banjos have been replaced here by drum machines and analog synthesizers. Loops, samples, and digital effects gurgle and hum underneath every verse, chorus, and bridge. For those familiar with Sufjans earlier work (namely, the electronic album Enjoy Your Rabbit), this foray into the digital pop world shouldnt be so startling. The difference here is that the electronic sound collage is transposed on a collection of songs, while the sounds themselves are given equal footing to the voice, washed as it is in a pedal board of effects. The album is also heavily arranged with brass, strings, woodwinds, and a lush choir of backing voices. These live elements create vivacious juxtapositions against the montage of synthesized sounds, evoking their own kind of literal sonic theory that is, the conflict and resolution between Real and Unreal, or Ordinary vs. Extraordinary.
These themes are best illustrated in the albums namesake. The Age of Adz refers to the Apocalyptic art of Royal Robertson (1930 1997), a black Louisiana-based sign-maker (and self-proclaimed prophet) who suffered from schizophrenia, and whose work depicts the artists vivid dreams and visions of space aliens, futuristic automobiles, eccentric monsters, and signs of the Last Judgment, all cloaked in a confusing psychobabble of biblical prophecy, numerology, Nordic mythology and comic book jargon. Portions of the album use Robertsons work as a springboard into a cosmic consciousness in which basic instincts are transposed on a tableau of extraordinary scenes of divine wrath, environmental catastrophe, and personal loss. In Robertsons imagination, guns, lasers, gargoyles, and warring battleships upend the sins of mankind with the pageantry of a Hollywood B-movie. (A selection of Robertsons work adds extraordinary color to the album art as well).
But Robertson was also a man of mundane circumstances (his primary media were poster board, magic marker, and glitter). Living alone in a trailer in near poverty, even his most fantastical work contains heart-wrenching references to hunger, fatigue, anxiety, food stamps, loneliness and the desire for intimacy, scripted with unabashedly affectionate grievances. In the same way, Sufjan sets his imagination on the splendor of high places (divine revelation, oracles, love, the cosmos, the Apocalypse) rending his heart in the mire of loneliness, self-doubt, or panic, while his body urges for the ordinary touch of a lover, a brother, or a friend.

Immediate download of I Walked in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

I Walked on seuraavan levyn ensimmäinen sinkula. Ei nyt mitään älytöntä kiimaa näin ensikuulemalta peuk tongue

Ei nyt ehkä suurinta kiimaa, mutta voiko "The Age of Adzin" jo nimetä vuoden levyksi? Odotukset ep:n ja tämän jälkeen ovat meinaan sen verran korkealla!
Ihan kunkkukamaa. Sufjan on jopa oppinut laulamaan...tai käyttämään ääntään...whatever.

The Age of Adz on "yleisfiiliksensä" vuoksi minun makuuni ehkä parasta Sufjania ikinä icon_eek sydan A breath of fresh air! Etenkin Vesuvius, I Want To Be Well ja Age of Adz on miehen parhaimpia kappaleita, jälkimmäisin ehkä paras huolimatta biisin alun pienoisesta tönkköydestä. Impossible Soulkin peuk

Kuuntelin äsken myös "pitkästä aikaa" All Delighted People ep:tä, ja nyt se kuulostaa kyllä aika mitättömältä verrattuna Adziin, lukuunottamatta ehkä Djohariahia hehe spam3

Hassuttelija · 06.10.2010 02:09

Joo kyllä The Age of Adz potkii ja kolisee aika lujaa. Aluksi tuntu ihan älyttömältä pettymykseltä, mutta pikku hiljaa alkoi kuulostamaan paremmalta ja paremmalta. Impossible Soul on ihan loistava päätösbiisi ja 25 minuuttia menee aina todella nopeasti tuota kuunnellessa.

noiseidea · 22.11.2010 22:51

Vähän oli epäilystä mielessä viimeisimpien suhteen, kun ei viime aikoina noi aikaisemmat ole oikein innostaneet. Mutta kilinkalut. All Delighted People ja The Age of Adz on molemmat aika pirun kovia pläjäyksiä - ja juuri pläjäyksiä, kestot 59:15 ja 74:48.

Ep:n nimibiisin molemmat versiot, I Want to Be Well rokrok , Djohariah jne. Impossible Soul ei ehkä ihan täysin lennä, mutta eipä tuo nyt toivoton biisi ole.

Äänimaailma on tervetulleella tavalla uudistunut ja mukana on elektronista mekkalaa banjon ja trumpetin sijaan.

noiseidea · 23.11.2010 12:36

Onko kenelläkään havaintoja BQE:sta? Lähtökohtaisesti kuulostaa aika vaikealta (leffaprojektia varten tehty "live-soundtrack"), että miten toimii levyltä kuunneltuna, mutta voishan tulos tietysti olla kiinnostavakin.

The BQE (album):

The BQE is a mixed-medium artistic exploration of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway by Sufjan Stevens. The project originally manifested in the form of a live show, performed on November 13, 2007. The show consisted of an original film, directed and written by Stevens, accompanied by an orchestra performing a live soundtrack.

age of adzilla mentiin kyllä välillä ihan siellä nerouden rajamailla, mut jatkuvat konesäksätykset alkoivat kyllä ärsyttää. kun ne tokassa biisissä alkavat, niin sitä säksätystä onkin sit se seuraava tunti putkeen vailla sen kummempaa ideaa. mut osa niistä biiseistähän on siis aivan loistavia.
