Sufjan Stevens has a new EP out entitled All Delighted People, and listeners are already trashing it on the internet. You can stream the entire record at Pitchfork, and then drop in your two cents. Or buy it for five bucks at Sufjan Stevens' bandcamp page. @Hipsterrunoff tweeted, asking if the EP is a boring letdown, and the resounding response is, “YES.” From what I’ve heard of the new record (first 3 tracks, and brief snippets of the rest), I’m inclined to agree. I think the guy peaked with Greetings From Michigan, and even that record holds up questionably upon re-listens.

In other sad music news, a guy committed suicide onstage at a Swell Season show. Pitchfork has that story too. Swell Season, for those that don’t know, is the new band led Glen Hansard, a.k.a. that orange haired guy from the movie Once. According to Pitchfork, the man jumped from the roof of the building next door, fell three stories, and landed on stage next to Hansard. This is incredibly sad and disturbing news, and my thoughts go out to the anonymous man’s family, as well Hansard.
