Patrick on my acquisition of the most impossible to find Sufjan Stevens CD ever...

"congrats on finally getting that CD. hope you enjoy his latest album about the best state in the union..."

Pfft, best state in the union?! Please. In other related news, I was reading the Post last week or something and came upon an article about the awesomeness of the CD and apparently, it has been increasingly hard to find because the album cover offended somebody. Namely, Superman flying over the Chicago skyline... perhaps because of Christopher Reeves's semi-recent death. Anyway, the record company had to sell all the CDs that were already out (with the Superman on the cover) while making new inserts before the could kind of "re-release" the CD again. Isn't that ridiculous? No wonder why I couldn't find the CD for a solid month. I went to 8 places and possibly 5 different zip codes to try to find this thing only to be met with disappointment. Anyway, I'm glad that I have the CD now because it's pretty much insane... and I'm happy to announce that MY copy of the CD does have Superman flying over Chicago. Holler. (I'm sorry, I hate that word, but I felt it necessary... think of it as a victory "holler" rather than a bad Gwen Stephani song "holler")
