Come on and feel the Illinoise!!

Sufjan Stevens started an ambitious project of creating an album for all 50 states -- it's been a few years and thus far he's only gotten through Michigan and Illinois. Sounds a little bit how my blogging career has gone...

However, the concept was pretty cool and he put a lot time and effort into researching history of both states. This song, "Come on! Feel the Illinoise!" is off his 'Illinois' album that he released in 2005. According to Wikipedia, there are rumors that the next state will be either Oregon or Rhode Island.

I really like the use of multiple instruments, rhythms and sections of the song.. not to mention the song is about my current home City/State!
