I don't know how Sufjan isn't all over the radio for Christmas

[joekirklin]

I know why - most radio sucks and the people that are making decisions don't know what good music is these days...

Oh my god, I love this animation so much. I had totally forgotten about it.

I love listening to Christmas songs in completely the wrong season.

sufjan stevens' character looks kind of blazed...

[Blastogy]

This video is really nice. The song makes me feel warm and happy. How many songs on your itunes playlist do that? Kudos Sufjan!

@joekirklin Listening to this, you should know there is no such thing as bad music. Your taste is a bit refined for that, no? Either way, if this music isn't widely accepted, it's for a reason. Show it to those you want to hear it.

@joekirklin

I am open to Sufjan's music 100%. I am a musician who has an open mind to different folk and jazz styles. But this? This is annoying.

I'm trying to find a sufjan stevens christmas song to play for my class that all of the hopeless mouth breathers will find not irritating to their stupid ears, this one is a candidate, does anyone have any suggestions please?
