Overheard at the Sufjan Stevens Show

  • Massively annoying girl in front of me: OH. MY. GOD. This is like what, like, heaven is like. I’m not [unintelligible gibberish] kidding you. It’s like… ephemeral.
  • Massively’s slightly disinterested friend: Ethereal. You mean “it’s like… ethereal.”
  • Fanboy Stage Left: I love your band. [pause] All of them.
  • Fratboy Stage Right: I love your body. [pause] All of it.

    So… other than some idiots in the room… what’s your review of the show? My wife and I are headed to the Fox in Atlanta to see him next week and looking forward to it.

    It was a highly enjoyable show, but from an overall musical experience, I actually enjoyed opener My Brightest Diamond (strings, odd electric guitar, and operatic, perfect female vocals) a little better.

    You and your wife will have a wonderful time.

    I’ve never listened to Sufjan Stevens, maybe I should check it out.

    Interesting:

    Ephemeral can also be used as an adjective to refer to a fast deteriorating importance of an object to a person. Brands are notoriously ephemeral assets. A sensation which is felt by a person for a certain period of time before needing replenishment can be referred to as ephemeral.

    Apparently heaven just ain’t what it used to be.

    The wife and I went and saw this show the other night @ the Ryman in Nashville. I have to agree that My Brightest Diamond was freakin awesome! That cd has been consuming me as of late.

    I took some video of a couple of Sufjan songs. Sorry for the motion sickness the first few seconds.

    Jen! Sweet seattle friend! This is so fun to see people I KNOW here. Sorry, had to break the rythm of convo about Sufjan/Diamond.

    The show in Dallas was awesome. And I have a girl-crush on Brightest Diamond’s awesome hair and vocals.

    I am clearly distracted and used “awesome” twice, well three times. Insert another good adjective in #2’s place.
