Welcome back to day four in the massive run of Sufjan Stevens tracks. I hope you’re enjoying this little endeavor I’ve undertaken, but more importantly I hope you’re learning to love Sufjan in a new or deeper way. The man is a modern day musical genius. He can capture hearts like no other composer and although he has spawned a massive wave of talented musicians there are relatively few that can hold a candle to the particularities of Sufjan.
Today the tracks I’m bringing come from another radio performance Sufjan did in the year two thousand and five. Yesterday I put up his set from KEXP, and today I’m posting his set from another great radio station, KCRW. {Now if only I could find a performance from WOXY I would have covered the trifecta of great American Radio} If you’ve never been to site for KCRW you should check it out. They offer an amazingly complete listening archive where you can listen to old shows, programs, and generally anything of merit they’ve ever broadcast. If you dig their programs please take a moment and support their fine station. And as a side bonus, if you support them now, you’ll be entered in a drawing to win trips to Rome, Australia, or to drive away with a Smart Car.
The tracks here below were originally broadcast in a show entitled Morning Becomes Eclectic hosted by the indelible Nic Harcourt. If you’d rather listen to a stream of the show you can find that here on their site. Below the show is posted in the correct track order for the performance.
