Andrew Bird’s songs are pretty pleasant, but do I appreciate the sincere/contrived arrangements of Sufjan Stevens? I mean, if you had to have either an Andrew Bird album or MICHIGAN in your car for the rest of your life, wouldn’t it probably have to be an Andrew Bird album?
“Chicago” is a great song, but do I really want to look out the window and pretend that it makes my life more meaningful? Sufjan seems like a pretty “chill dude,” though. He supports America, and that’s fine by me. I don’t know any thing about Andrew Bird except that his music is pleasant and probably considered to be “well crafted” by critics.

I agree with you…Mr. Bird is just as good as Sufjan and has been doing it over six albums.

I think having just a suf album or an andrew bird album for the rest of my life would suck either way. but i really think both andrew bird and sufjan stevens are extremely talented, original artists. seriously, i don’t know if i could choose one over the other, though sufjan’s clear sincerity, his beautiful lyrics… they all just cut to the core of me.
