Sufjan Stevens, the BQE, and Christmas

I know the great Sufjan’s BQE performance has been reviewed ad nauseum, but that’s where this Sufjan-admirer strays from the beaten path. After some digging, I managed to come up with a live version of the BQE performance–all 33 minutes and 35 seconds of goodness (courtesy of archive.org and user “Adam”). But if you still want a well-written review of the BQE performance (you know I’m just riddled with jealously over not being there), check out stereogum’s review.

Listen to “The BQE” (in its entirety)

ALSO! Check out the new shenanigans going on at Asthmatic Kitty Records (Sufjan’s label). They’re having a contest for the best Christmas song, and the deal is that the winner trades writes to his/her own song for the rights of a previously unreleased Sufjan Stevens song!! Pretty friggin’ awesome.
