Sufjan Stevens Has the Holiday Spirit

Years ago, Sufjan Stevens vowed he would make a new Christmas album every year. The merry indie rocker kept his word and went on to release the first five volumes in one fabulous box set collection called Songs About Christmas. Although Sufjan reportedly has no plans to release his 2008 volume of songs, he has posted all kinds of interactive holiday fun to his web site. Go here to play Christmas dress-up with Sufjan, check out previously released tracks, and play a holiday-themed video game.

I'm so glad I could play a part in your Sufjan indoctrination! I like most of what he puts out, but I HIGHLY recommend the last full-length album, "Illinoise." It's a beautiful, lasting record.

Hi, I'm a Sufjan Stevens virgin no more. Thanks for this blog. I enjoyed listening to "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever." Undoubtedly, he's unique and wonderfully talented. Is it fair to say his voice sounds a bit like Art Garfunkel?

Yeah, he definitely hasn't made as much progress on that front. I'm pretty sure he's only two states in: Michigan and Illinois.

He also promised to make an album for every single one of the United States. That dude is ambitious.
