"Our relationships are usually about two forces of will not wanting to compromise. True love is about surrendering in complete service to another being. And I don’t think that can happen - at least not on this planet Earth."
— Sufjan Stevens (Spin, 2005)

duilleog asked:
Do you have a download link to the Illinois iTunes bonus tracks: "The Transfiguration (Home Demo Version)" or "Size Too Small (Live in Brussels)"?
Transfiguration: http://www.mediafire.com/?wwff85u6pt25uga
Size Too Small: http://www.mediafire.com/?hqn2hou4cmqonaq
The latter is from this 3 song + Interview radio show from 2004 instead of the iTunes track (same song, just the one on iTunes sounds better). I never bought it or anything cause I always had this one but if anyone has the iTunes one and wants to share, feel free!

The Roots – "Redford"/"Possibility"/"Will To Power" (Stereogum Premiere)
On the final track from undun, also titled “Redford,” the band takes Sufjan’s instrumental, and, with some help from Sufjan himself, they turn it into a sprawling four-movement work. We’ve got three of those movements streaming below.
On the first movement, “Redford,” Sufjan plays the song alone on piano. And in the ensuing two movements, Questo, a string quartet, and an avant-garde pianist all offer their takes on it.

"The most amazing show I’ve seen over the past year was Sufjan Stevens’s final performance of The Age of Adz in Prospect Park. It was authentically psychedelic and a truly transcendental experience – I looked around and everyone in the crowd was smiling and completely awestruck. Stevens’s music is largely about fear, but on stage he gives a fearless presentation. You can see his strength in overcoming that panic."
— Annie Clark
