The beginning of Reading Week

I've listened to Come On, Feel the Illinoise! no less than 10 times in the past few days, simply because its one of the best albums I own.  Sufjan Stevens is way too eclectic to become repetitive, and if you haven't listened to this album yet I seriously suggest you do so.
I wanted to post "Decatur, Or, A Round of Applause For Your Stepmother!" but this podcast thing is ghetto as all hell and its not accepting the format.  So, I'm posting "Chicago," which is just as good in reality.  If you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, you'll remember it from the soundtrack.  Its a really uplifting song, very orchestral and easy to listen to.
Enjoy,
Z

All the cheap chocolate and flowers you could want

Valentine's Day is really a shitty holiday if you think about it.  If anything, its serves to remind your lover of your romantic inadequacy on a completely arbitrary day (outside of religion, but let's be honest, do you even know who St. Valentin is?) that holds no sentimentality to the couple.  But I won't bash you if you want to boost Lindt's and Hallmark's profits.  Instead, I'll make my first post to this podcast thing a wicked romantic song that easily makes my top ten favorite songs of all time.  And then, I'll post what I want for Valentine's Day.
Love,
Z
