Stuart Bogey is in Celebration or was he just guesting?

god sufjan looks like the most insufferable stick in the mud. Someone needs to smack him across the face and say "cheer up bitch you are popular and rich"

Neimo (Paris, France) is at Pianos at 8pm sharp.

that key foods across from southpaw has some bumpin' music.

just guesting i believe.... they were great!

He was just guesting.

What I saw of Celebration's set was really great.

i hope Sufjan isn't trying to turn a whole generation onto the godawful goatee. that's some atrocious facial hair.

actually, I don't blame Sufjan for looking so down. wouldn't you be depressed if a bunch of tools forced you to take a photo with them? look at those people, complete tools.

They're tools who like his music.

By your reasoning, H of T, Sufferin' Sufjan should just delete all his music from the face of the earth and keep his precious sounds to himself.

Yeah--those FANS are the tools. Riiiiiight.

You're a joyless wad--just like Sufferin' Sufjan!

he just looks shy. I'm not really sure what the problem is.

Hopefully, today BV is going to get rid of the bugs plaguing the comments system, once and for all!

If any of you find yourself in Park Slope tonight, I'd highly recommend Jaymay @ Union Hall. Her performance last week at the Mercury Lounge was outstanding. Not only is she a fantastic song writer, but her stage presence is so quirky and cute she entrances the room.

Well now to quote from the blurb on the flicker page of the guy who took the Sufjan picture

"through a series of random events we were able to go "teeny bopper" and score a photo with the elusive sufjan after the show. unfortunately, as you can tell - we weren't really ready for the picture... but i think that adds to the charm..."

Ok so that spells tool in a big way to me. Sufjan is far from elusive. I was at the southpaw event and i can understand why Sufjan is making this face.The questions from the audience after the show were pretty much ridiculous. "oh sufjan, what is your top 10 list"
Typical tool like questions. And you could see these fools and others waiting for him next to the backstage entrance after. Random my ass. Don't blame Sufjan. Would you want to be stalked by these "fans"

I saw Walk Hard. Love John C Reilly but this movie is really not that funny. Maybe the performance will be.

I agree with Anon 1:00pm... I too was at the show and thought many of the questions posed to Sufjan were silly. It was also annoying to see him surrounded like that after the show. You can tell from the rest of the Flickr page that it was clearly their first time in Brooklyn. I think I might have actually spoken to the heavy-set dude in the photo before and he really is a moron in real life.

Tonight, I'm impregnating Rihanna.

Josh Hartnet gets way way too much good pussy.

Blame the "dumb fans" all you want. Ridicule first-time visitors to Brooklyn all you want. But you will never, ever be able to dispute the fact that Sufjan is a joyless, self-important, supercilious jerk. And to think this only happened with the success of "Michigan"! That's the sad part. Before that record hit, he was a decent, light-hearted guy. Then Pitchfork declared him a psuedogenius, and his ego shot through the roof.

re: Smackahole 1:37, we have no way to dispute your assessment of Sufjan's personality post-Michigan. but in all honesty, you should expect creative people to be jerks in some way or another. it just goes with the territory. I'm sure Thom Yorke would have stabbed those kids had they approached him for a photo.

lol people are ridiculous for talking shit about people taking a picture with someone they're a fan of.
lol at sufjan's facial hair. i don't understand.

I agree with 12:12. That keyfood is known for it's vintage tunes.

the keyfood in greenpoint has a much better sound system

Sufjan is just shy as all hell. Not an asshole.

The keyfood in the east village gets pretty kickin on the weekends.

that bitch standing beside looks to be thirteen. he's probably pissed because a thirteen year old only likes music based on novelty (well i guess so most "hip" people) but can fathom any deeper meaning he is trying to convey in it.

Anyone who thinks Sufjan is a jerk clearly knows nothing about the man.

Key Food @ New Utrecht and 70th in Brooklyn: Where Disco Never Died

hey sufjan, thanks for the effort.
quick- everyone put your hands in your pockets.

if i ever become famous, it needs to be jack nicholson famous, not indie-rocker famous. i would rather have incessant approaches from the public and paparazi that excuses my bodyguard beating you up than have to deal with occasional meeting with these types of dorks

I absolutely adore all of Soof's work and I have even seen him in concert 3 times. But from my concert experience and his on stage banter with the crowd, he comes off a little arrogant and prickish.

That being said I think he is one of this decade's best artists.

"Anyone who thinks Sufjan is a jerk clearly knows nothing about the man."

More like clearly have never met the man. He is actually a very cool, nice guy.

i'm not all that keen to see the movie but i must say Dewey Cox and the Hard Travelers at the Knit last night was one of the best shows i'd seen all year.

Javier,
You really need to get out to more shows then. Seeing one show a year will not cut it.
I was at the Dewey Cox thing as well. The movie was pretty unfunny and the show was kind of weak. It is a novelty that wore off pretty quick although it was hilarious when John C Reilly said he had to take a piss and came back onstage with a dildo sticking out of his zipper.

Quite a few people I know who see a ton of live music have seen Dewey Cox at various stops on his tour. They all are including the show in their lists of top shows of the year. I'll be doing the same. It was funny and the musicians and the songs were excellent. John C Reilly IS Dewey Cox. It's pretty impressive his ability to stay in character so completely.

Yeah John C Reilly is impressive but still it was really not that funny and yes the songs were all excellent cause they rip off classic songs that we all love but i guess that is the joke. Kind of like Weird Al Yankovic. Honestly though, if you are including this show in your list of top shows of the year then you really have not seen many. Sorry.

HAHAHA I feel famous! I'm the total tool all the way on the left who could only hope to be stabbed by Thom Yorke.
