After a good talk with my friend Seth W. over at Buzzgrinder, I think I’ve finally got this “being a good blogger” thing figured out.
Starting now-ish I will be posting mostly playlists and things involving playlists. Basically, the whole listing thing is something I enjoy doing, and it seems to render itself well considering the original intent of this blog.
So for all one-ish of you reading this, I hope you enjoy the things to come in the maybe-near future. I’m doing some brainstorming right now, but I think I’ll have enough to start posting on a regular basis soon.
I am king of ambiguous-ish statements tonight, aren’t I?
As was suspected by some of the more clever indie folk on the scene, Sufjan and Rosie are not having a baby.
But there is good news: Sufjan is releasing yet another new album! But there is bad news about the good news: it’s not the next state in the 50 States Project. The album is called The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album. So there’s that.
Read the article at Pitchfork for more details on the faux-pregnancy and Sufjan’s upcoming album, including a wonderful-looking track listing.
Sorry to all you single-and-looking indie girls. It looks as though Sufjan Stevens’ recent collaboration with former Sub Pop-er Rosie Thomas produced more than just music. Yes, that’s right. Sufjan and Rosie have a little indie bun in the oven.
No news about any wedding plans, which may come as a surprise to many considering Stevens’ Christian roots. Or maybe they’ve just kept a very good secret from us.
Prepare to be bombarded with music-ingrained cuteness in about nine months. Or maybe sooner…
Oh, and Denison Witmer collaborated too. But just on the music part.

Update: According to a Buzzgrinder reader who was at a recent Denison Witmer concert, this may have been an April Fool’s joke that Sufjan, Rosie and Denison decided to play on Pitchfork (and the entire indie world, it seems). Only time will tell.
