Genius

Why isn't every other indie musician as musically intelligent as this guy?

Sufjan Stevens

Grandiose arrangements, interesting instrumentation and general awesomeness. This guy is too cool. Oh yeah and he's trying to do an album for each state of America. Going by the fact that he has so far only covered two states, this is possibly the most ridiculous goal ever, but hey - props for trying. Even if these are the only two he ever does, I don't really mind, because there is so much awesomeness contained within these two albums. Did I mention how awesome this guy is? 

Michigan

Illinois

Awesome.
