Sufjan on live music
Magic RPM: Do you like being on stage, playing your songs in public?
Sufjan: I like the challenge of interpreting the album in a live environment and I like the dynamics of concerts, the social interaction. Being on stage with people. Bringing the music to light. It's an opportunity to celebrate the music in a very objective way: I don't feel like I'm playing my own songs but those of someone else. I like it, that distance with my own work when I'm on tour. Even though, with the group, we embody these songs when we play them, I feel detached. We play and then it's over: there's something immediate and ephemeral that fascinates me. Many of the things we do in life are recorded, ranked somewhere, catalogued and concerts are one of the few things that are old school. It's an experience at a given point in a given environment. And even if you save it, it really doesn't translate the experience of the people who were there. It's very exciting, very spiritual.

Open Letter to Belmont University
In response to this, sent to members of the Belmont administration this past Sunday: Dear President Fisher, I am writing to you as a member of Belmont University’s 2008 graduating class to express my disappointment and disgust in Belmont’s recent decision to fire women’s soccer coach and mother-to-be Lisa Howe because of her sexual orientation. First of all, I want to make it clear that I...

I missed you Tumblr. I missed you so much.
How else am I supposed to stare at kittens and internet memes and pictures of Iceland all day, hmm?

omg. OMG. And if only this video captured the entire minute before that when they caught me lounging around with my mask off texting and wouldn’t let me off the jumbotron until I got up and danced. loudestnoise: I captured Christy Frink dancing in a green suit at the Predators game. The arena media staff enjoy using her body as a green screen. Hilarity ensues.  If the stupid Flickr...

This past week, the Belmont Vision broke the story of Belmont allegedly firing women’s soccer coach Lisa Howe because she decided to tell her team that she and her same sex partner were expecting. This article by Aunt B. pretty much nails it: W.W.J.D.? In the gospel according to Belmont University, he would kick a family expecting a child out into the cold, just in time for Christmas....

Have you ever been to night court, just to watch?
No, but I used to watch a lot of Judge Judy whenever I was bored or procrastinating in college. Does that count? After hearing some pretty impressive Nashville night court stories, I’m tempted to go though. Just to watch. Ask me anything

mOtke tells microStories on facebook. And twitter. →
He’s right. Follow the man, on the Twitters and on the Facebook machine. The microstories are good. motke: You should “Like” my page on the facebook machine, because I tell fun little stories. I also post them on twitter, which is a blue bird icon fueled machine of 140…well…you know. So, go ahead. It may be the best decision you make in the next 2 minutes.
