All Delighted People EP
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
On this episode we take a look at Sufjan's 2010's All Delighted People EP. A surprise release just months before The Age Of Adz!
We answer all the crucial questions surrounding this EP like:
Do you go to Costco just for $1.50 hot dogs?
Did you know Sufjan wrote a song in 2000 called "All Delighted People" and it sounds nothing like the version on this EP?
Do you think "The Owl And The Tanager" is a goth ballad? (ugh)
Thanks to Hans and Jarrod of Blindman Brewery and Red Hart Brewing for the free beer!

Hark! Lift Up Your Heads! The Michigan Episode For The Weary, The Broken, The Tired!
In this episode we learn that Jordan went to a Sufjan concert as a first date with his now wife (and bailed on a friend in the process) and I (Justin) make some pretty cringey observations about Sufjan's music that sounded profound in my mind but now make me feel embarrassed. But anyway, Holland really does remind me of dust particles floating in the air on a hot summer morning after sleeping in, so....
But, wow, is this a great Sufjan record.
