C'mon, lighten up. He never genuinely intended to write a
50-album cycle, it was just a publicity ploy, and a good one at
that.

A friend of mine pointed out that Glass - Music for 18 Musicians must have been a huge influence for Stevens and I think he is OTM.

that would be weird since music for 18 musicians was written by Steve Reich

six years pass...

Still love this album. What the hell's he up to these days? His states project seems to have stagnated.

four years pass...

I will still rep for this album even though I don't think anything else he's done quite measures up

ok I can't really say that since there's a bunch of shit he did I haven't even bothered to listen to, got real tired of him years ago, but I'm revisiting Michigan and still like it

all good naysayers is such a great song, flint too, vito's ordination song...i prefer illinois, and both records are bloated (like the song titles), but yeah it's great, and i wonder where he's been the last four years..

apparently he put out a single this year called "A Little Lost" so that seems to answer your question

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Saturday, 18 October 2014 04:56 (nine years ago) link

it is an arthur russell cover

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Saturday, 18 October 2014 04:58 (nine years ago) link

oh and I guess it's actually on a comp about to come out: red hot + arthur russell

I should revisit this one over the winter (but not before)
I wonder if there's as much vibraphone as I remember
