If you remember a week or so ago we were wondering about Sufjan living in the hood. We got a cryptic reply from asthmatic kitty letting us know the 'director' said we could link to SS on the site. We've decided it's fine to blast him w the rest of the locals on up and coming work.From Gothamist via Brooklyn Vegan: Sufjan will play a special series of shows at BAM this November at the Next Wave Festival titled "The BQE". The show will combine Sufjan live, playing both old and new material, with a live orchestra and video projections displaying a "virtual road trip." BAM's 25th Next Wave Festival November 1, 2 and 3rd ='s Sufjan . SUFJAN CONCEPTUALIZES THE BROOKLYN-QUEENS EXPRESSWAY.
On a side note we found this little clip of SS on the hood....
Now I'm in Kensington. It's kind of like the suburbs of Brooklyn . It's quiet and it's not cool at all, which I like. But it's a short bike ride to all the cool neighborhoods. It's cheap. It's like the last affordable neighborhood where you can buy stuff. There are houses with driveways, which is unusual here. And it's really diverse. There's no dominant culture there. A lot of Jewish families, Chinese Americans, Polish, Russians. It doesn't seem like anyone is entitled to that neighborhood. It's just mixed.
