What do you think the odds are Sufjan likes it up the two-hole?

a lot slimmer than the odds that you ARE a two-hole...

If he's not of the two-hole persuasion (whatever that might be), he's definitely getting with the hot backup singer.

i gotta say, i really did not like this show. the illinoise record is good, but the show comes across as so insincere that it spoils the songs. the irony is handled badly, so you're not sure what's ironic and what's not. there wouldn't be anything wrong with playing straight up.

The show was stupendous! Sufyan is a marvel, looking forward to their next tour.

Do you know what the parenthetical on the last line of the setlist said?

I don't know for sure, but I think it says "(I won't add one I promise)". Maybe it's to spare the rest of the Illinoisemakers a 2nd encore after all those shows.

ItÒs simple but effective. They also do other genres. Adolescent poetry is worth a look.

With a turn she left the blushing girl at the counter, but not before saying in a reassuring tone, ÓYou really should take him up on the offer. He is very good at itÔ

eu gostaria de conhecer Sufyan porque considero um tipo bestial, no sentido em que a sua musica toca no fundo do ser. Nao tenho meio de o conhecer e a ultima vez que tive essa oportunidade, que foi no festival para gente sentada, em Santa Maria da Feira eu nem sequer sabia da sua aparencia.
desejo-lhe boas e uma carreira fenomenal. Abraço Sufyan e tudo de bom.
