No new Sufjan update, I'm afraid (although pre-orders start on Friday!), but instead, an opportunity for you to vote on my Iowa State Chant Contest entry. Simple music, as some of you know, is not particularly my cup of tea, but the following chant came to me one day:
(The bass clef is stomps.) Try it out. Say it loudly in your officeplace a few times. It is catchy, no? But here's my nitpicky dilemma: Should the accents be
I-owa State, I-owa State, I-owa State Cy-clones (the normal spoken way) or
I-owa State, I-owa State, I-owa StateCy-clones (the measure-break way)?
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
