Sufjan Stevens

When I was in high school I was really into The OC soundtracks, probably because my friend Sara - who looked like Mischa Barton - listened to them. Back then the soundtracks were the equivalent of the Twilight soundtracks - bad acting, awesome songs. It was on one of these soundtracks that I first heard Sufjan Stevens.

Since then, I've grown quite an affinity for his music and was lucky enough to go see his concert last night with my friend Carly. He played mostly his new music, which is all about love, the apocalypse (same thing, right?) and outer space. It was an uplifting show, a weird show, and a good time all around.
