Sufjan Stevens

yum

Tiny cock and balls.

Not sure how R2's picture represents tiny meat.

And he's been working out!

Isn't he some sort of religious Christian rightwing nutjob?

Lame. Nothing special.

He is a fundie.

Is that Cat Stevens son? Cat Stevens went all Islamic you know.

He's certainly colorful enough.

R7 He's not related to Cat Stevens. His bio says he freely draws from the Bible and other spiritual traditions, often incorporating mystical elements into his music.

Gay gay gay. When he speaks, he projectile-vomits purses.

Age of Adz is phenomenal. One of my favorite albums from 2010, along with The ArchAndroid.

There was a thread on him back in the day.

fay gace

pretentious beyond belief

His parents were in a Muslim cult, he went to a right wing Christian cult college, he doesn't like to talk about religion.

super hot but boring music. also have heard that he claims sobriety but I've seen him sloppy drunk several times at sunnys in red hook.

He's pushing 40 and no sign of a relationship - I'm guessing closeted gay.

He is attractive, though.

R16, was he getting sloppy on dudes?

he was just sloppy drunk with friends never saw him get handsy with men and only know of one girl in the friend group he had sex with

Did the girl say what he was like in the sack, R16/R19?

I was well sloppy drunk last night! It never came up, no. I can text her to ask though

Please do, R21! Some real gossip on this site finally!

Cute vs. Hot

The former.

There is a picture which supposedly shows him getting a blowjob from a girl on a roller roster.

He is utterly self righteous and an insufferable humourless, urban hipster gangsta allophilic. Likes all that lowbrow anti-gay, mysoginistic rap an RnB shit. The sorta embodiment of pitchfork.

i'd suck him

I wonder if @R24 is in my social circle

I forgot about the thread but will text her tomorrow am! promise

i would bone him.

theres no way in hell he is straight

heres the blowjob pic.

I liked his first few songs, but after he went too hipster hop dayglo crap I lost all interest. I'm more into Americana and alt country now so I haven't heard anything about him or by him for ages, the whole Brooklyn hipsters scene is just so boring and sort of embarrassing.

The photo at R29 does not look like him.

I listened to some of his Christmas music during the holidays, very pleasant. I assumed that he is religious but didn't realise he was family.

I've been following his music for about 10 years now. Suf is very private about his personal life, but his circle of friends know him to be bisexual.

Where was that pic taken, R29?

I think he is straight, and rather snobby. Hipster aren't cool, they have a very frat boy mentality, yes they are humourless , the only time I ever saw them laugh is when they are laughing at someone mockingly. I Was glad I left Brooklyn, very fake and insincere and contrived and up itself. Not a nice scene, more mean boys that mean girls.

Where does he find his boys, R33?

40 and no girlfriend?? Super Homo!

But what will Jesus say? Gasp!

'Suf, as I like to call him as one of his inner circle, is very private about his personal life, but his intimates, such as myself, know him to be bisexual and I am happy to violate his desire for privacy by posting anonymously on DL that he is bi'

He ain't bi, if he is gay he has willed himself bisexual, if he were bisexual he would have willed himself straight.

haha so my friend says he's average on all accounts, and I quote "I mean it's nothing to put a ring on but nothing to complain about" then "better than the average pitchfork musicians I've got on my ever growing list" and then "why are you asking me this now" and as I type this I got an "answer me you shit" :p

Sunny's in RedHook? Baaaawwhaaaa!!!! Red Hook? Red Hook? I'd be so ashamed to be seen anywhere near that derelict hovel of a hood.

Verificatia?

I guess if he is from Detroit Red Hook and Brooklyn might actually seem rather homely to him.

Everyone knows Red Hook is up and coming idiot

He's gorgeous and I can tolerate pretentious hipsterism up to a certain point, but the religious crap is a major dealbreaker.

Oh r45, you are so cute, but OK whatever.

It's pretty obvious he's probably gay, or bisexual. If he's heterosexual he's your typical indie musician and boring since he's a hipster.

We Can't Stop Wondering if Sufjan Stevens Sings About God or Being Gay

So boring. Perfect for CMBYN.

People who find him boring have either not given him the chance, or are incapable of seeing the beauty his lyrics evoke. It is kind of like poetry, not everyone gets it. Sufjan is very deep, introspective, and a beautifully sensitive soul.

I have to say his skin looked amazing for his age last night.

*last night [italic]at the Oscars,[/italic] for those of you reading this in the distant future

His Oscar performance was a bit underwhelming:

His music is just so "pasty" .He is nice to look at, but I prefer music with a bit more heft.

R54 I have to say I like it the more I watch it. It's refreshingly short, as opposed to the other songs that overstayed their welcome. However, the nerves got to him in a couple of places and the backing vocals weren't that great.

And everyone sounded a bit shit last night, even the one singing during the In Memoriam segment. The host didn't have any musical numbers so the producers must not have bothered with the sound design for singing all that much.

R6 - how do you know he is a fundie? His religious background is mainstream American protestant.

He's no fundie. Militant liberal atheists are just keen on digging anyone who professes a belief in a higher power or creator an early grave. He has stated he personally rejects organised religion in his own life. Now even being spiritual is taboo apparently.

Not sure if that person was being serious, but a fundie is not going to write a song for Call Me By Your Name. C'mon.

the picture at r8 just screams tedious beige man going to extremes to look interesting.

Yeah, right R59! Doesn't the sheer stupidity of posters here never cease to amaze?

he whisper sang on the Oscars and doesn't have a strong singing voice. His song, while boring, had a nice chord progression, far outdistancing the other song nominees. Mary J Blige was awful, so was that Andra Day person.

Why do we not worship Sufjan? He's a hottie and all sensitive and stuff.

He's cute.

r63 He's also super Christian, so it's a no from me.

He's as far from a fundie as you can get though. He's one of the few artists who I can stomach Christianity from. His music's also beautiful and he's gay as fuck, so his faith is far from a threat.

One of the all time worst Oscar losses. His song was perfect. Even if the movie it was written for was not.

You could tell he was pissed too. Who wouldn't be, losing to some tired song from "Coco"? More Disney crap.

The movie was not perfect, but I did love his song. I wanted it to win just as much as I wanted Timmy to win.

I doubt Sufjan was pissed at losing. I'm sure he was surprised to be there at all. Guys like him and Jonny Greenwood, who was also nominated that year for his Phantom Thread score, are better than that ceremony.

That being said, "Mystery of Love" easily should have won. So should've Greenwood.

R67 When the best song was announced, Sufjan said “thank you Jesus”, because he was terrified about getting up there to do an acceptance speech.

He wasn’t pissed....far from it. He’s awkward as hell in his interviews and he seems to be a touch autistic.

Thanks, guys. Still wish he would've won, even if he sounds like Elliot Smith (another bad loss in Oscar lore, though he had no prayer against the Titanic song).

Wish the whole move had been as ,moving as this fan made music video.

r72 your video is the official video for MYSTERY OF LOVE.

It was directed by Luca Guadagnino boyfriend, Ferdinando Filomarino

Ah, yes, hard to tell these days. He did a great job. Did the song get much airplay and traction?

[quote]Did the song get much airplay and traction?

What is "airplay" nowadays? What does it even mean?

No clue about airplay, but it distractingly popped up in the most recent episode of Big Little Lies.

Nope. Sufjan’s never gotten much radio time (air play) because most people are tasteless idiots.

He's dreamy.
