the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us! - sufjan stevens (live at austin city limits 2006)
Easily in my top 5 favorite Sufjan songs. I really love this intro and performance. I would pay his ticket price just to listen to his stories.
Oh girl, I agree! I’ll never tire listening to his storytelling, I think it’s one of the best aspects of his...
