Sufjan Stevens Might Be My Favorite Person in the World

I’m currently listening to: Sufjan Stevens - Peace: Songs for Chrismas Vol. V

Sufjan Stevens Christmas

Sufjan Stevens just became greater than you, me, or anyone else I know.  Understand that he is releasing a box set of Christmas songs containing:

  • 5 Individual EPs
  • A Christmas Songbook with Lyrics and Chords
  • Christmas Stickers
  • A Family Portrait
  • 2 Short Stories written by himself
  • An essay by Rick Moody
  • A Music Video and Comic Strip

Now consider this, the price is under $20.  I can see no way Mr. Stevens is turning a profit out of this beautiful endeavor.  Instead, he has decided to bless us all with one of the greatest Christmas gifts ever assembled (outside of baby Jesus of course).  I am still in a state of belief, and cannot wait until November 24, when this package is estimated to reach my front porch.  For those of you who would like a preview of what this set will include, you can visit Asthmatic Kitty Records to check out streams of all five EPs.  Be amazed– its warranted.

    Sufjan Stevens did. I mean, he’s clearly a Mexican, right?

    I really don’t remember why I posted that. Maybe it was the Tylenol PM talking.
