I honestly was kinda ambivalent (well, as ambivalent as someone would feel about a new Sufjan album which isn't really ambivalent at all 😸, anyway) when I heard it was going to be a stripped back, folky record. Illinois is still my fave for the bombastic arrangements with some stripped back stuff thrown in. But two…

Second this.

oh gosh, I had to stop listening to it at work the other day! Too many feels. The guardian and pitchfork have some pretty good interviews with him if you haven't seen them yet.

so weird to see people sitting still during a Karen O performance!

it's super good. Heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time in that Sufjan way.

how do they do that?!?!?! Those harmonies are ridiculous!

Ok, cool. And yeah, that is one of my favorite beers of all time. So good!

Oh shoot! I’m sorry for the bad internet-ing!

Y’all got the best breweries up there for sure. Have you heard of Run Woodstock?

Dripsy? Trunk?

The purpose of ragrets! As far as suggestions: maybe some mountain peak, a desert plateau, something woodsy/outdoorsy.

Carte Blanche at a freaking stadium? 🙏🙏🙏🙏

cars were the worst! For me anyway.

So true that you don't have to clip that frequently. The flailing and wailing is pretty comical. I do pretty ok with the gloves method until I get to the dreaded dewclaw. You gotta be like a ninja to get that one on the first try.

yeah, you said what I couldn't come up with. It's generic, corporate jingle pop.

I have to wear gloves. And honestly if Sweet Mags didn't sleep on my neck, I wouldnt bother. 😸😸😸😸😸😸😸

sometimes it can be a pain, but a pair of clippers helps out as long as you just nip the very ends off.

Pretty chill until I get out the claw trimmers.
