Ah, is it really part 2 in this series already? Time flies when you’re listening to Sufjan. For those first time readers this is a series where I will post tracks by Sufjan Stevens seven days in a row. The more positive votes I receive {vote here, click on the blue ‘rate it’ button in the upper left} and the more comments you leave here on the blog, the more tracks I will put in the following posts. It’s up to you.
These tracks come, again, from Songs For Christmas (iTunes), which is the first legitimate modern answer to the ages of Christmas music in the assumed Christmas Music Canon. I’m not sure if such a canon actually exists, but if I was in charge I would put this box set alongside the Christmas work of Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. It is really that good. My favorite of the set is the fifth disc, entitled Peace, and it is from this disc that the first two tracks listed below are taken. The other songs come from the third and fourth disc in the set and are tagged appropriately.
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Once In Royal David’s City
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - All The King’s Horns
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Did I Make You Cry On Christmas? (Well You Deserved It!)
Listen to every single track by Sufjan Stevens that you can find. The man has the Midas touch {and all other sort of appropriate metaphors as well}. Also, I seem to be honoring requests, if I can, so that is why Once In Royal David’s City was included today.

Welcome to the second annual Seven Days of Sufjan here at The World Forgot. For those of you who are new to this concept let me explain the rules. I will be posting Sufjan tracks, some rare and some more commonplace, each and every single day for the following seven days. The more comments that each post gets the more tracks I will post. Also, this year, the more positive votes I get for my blog {vote here} the more tracks I will be posting. And I’ll go ahead and say that I have a ton of great music from Sufjan Stevens including an entire concert and a load of tracks you might not be able to find anywhere but here. So go leave comments, vote for the blog, do whatever you want to do if you think it will garner more great music from Sufjan.
To get it started I’ve taken some tracks from Sufjan’s Christmas compilation entitled, simply, Songs for Christmas (iTunes). I hope you enjoy the music, there’s plenty more to come.
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Amazing Grace
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - It’s Christmas! Let’s Be Glad
mp3 : Sufjan Stevens - Only At Christmas Time

It was recently brought to my attention that this little slice of the blogosphere [heaven] has been nominated for the award “Best Music Blog” given out by Hey! Nielsen and Billboard.com. While I think it’s totally ridiculous to have made the list of 103 finalists, alongside many of my friends and lovers, I would like to say thanks to whomever nominated this blog or whatever process of this screwed up universe allowed me to be entered into the competition.
Oh, and if you so desire you can vote for The World Forgot here.
