Since I love that last Sufjan song so much, I’ll show you guys what I played last night.  It’s a Youtube video, and a great rendition of the song.

Interesting news, I got a call from Nelson last night, the media services who run the TV ratings. Apparently they’re now doing Music ratings, and they asked me to take part. It’ll be interesting, and I get paid $25 to do it, so I’m pretty happy with it. I bet they’ll be surprised by the amount of non-mainstream music listening that goes on on computers, and how much music played is not bought on iTunes. Just doing my part to change the guard from Warner and Sony to Barsuk and Sub Pop.

In passing,

Mikil
