HE GOT TEN WHOLE DOLLERS!!

But seriously, folks...

I realized how big he was when they released the Mystery Of Love 10-inch for record store day in 2018 and saw people scrambling to find it. That was released as a "limited edition of 10,000 copies." Prior to that, I would have had no idea, but that stuck out.

In that respect, reissuing an already popular album from his catalog as a limited edition anniversary pressing with additional songs in a run of 500 clearly isn't going to be enough

I like that one of the responses was he has a Gold Record like it is 1950 and he is from Poughkeepsie (sorry @D Jilla )

Fair enough . Just saying, if he can sell 500K, 500 units of a similar project seems super light, regardless of how well known he is.

there were at least a 1000 to date, fyi. I don't see a number for the Third Man, but the university version was 500 and there are however many HMV on Saturday and however many tomorrow

Can't believe @Lee Newman wants to fight Sufjan Stevens AND Duck Sauce

I look forward to Sufjan's new song "Lee Newman Tries to Fight Me (or, the Battle of Needles and Grooves, or How to Handle Someone Questioning Your Relative Popularity in the Realm of So-Called Indie Rock) (Parts I - IV)." It will be a 42-second instrumental.

Special 20th anniversary vinyl editions of Sufjan’s Michigan album out now: second pressing arriving in fall

AKR has partnered with Third Man Pressing in Detroit to release three special editions.

asthmatickitty.com

Our pressing of the University of Michigan/Michigan State AKR 20th Anniversary Edition of Sufjan’s Michigan sold out in minutes, and many fans were not able to secure a copy. But we have good news! We’ve secured a second pressing at Third Man Records to arrive in fall of this year.

Pre-orders will open tomorrow Friday June 16 at 10AM EST and remain open until 10PM EST, or until supplies last. This second pressing will ship Fall 2023. You can pre-order it here.

Note: this will be it for this edition (we’re only twenty once!), so this is your last opportunity to purchase this edition.

So uh I was just looking at this page and one of the “you might also like” items was Sufjan collaborating with… my cousin. Weird. I had no idea.

Edit: I guess it’s him and another pianist performing something Sufjan wrote with him. Still weird. Apparently he’s mildly well-known. Huh.

My friend’s cousin is William Elliot Whitmore, so technically he might have me beat.
