Sufjan Stevens - new album of B-sides from Illinoise

Last night, Asthmatic Kitty announced that on July 25, it will release The Avalanche: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album. The disc collects material originally written for Pitchfork's favorite album of last year, revisited by Sufjan in late 2005 and early 2006. It includes three versions of standout track "Chicago", songs concerning Saul Bellow, Ann Landers, Adlai Stevenson, and Henry Darger, and musical contributions from drummer James McAlister, trumpeter Craig Montoro, singers Shara Worden and Katrina Kerns, and, of course, Rosie Thomas.
In typical Sufjan fashion, the tracklist is an adventure unto itself:
01 The Avalanche 02 Dear Mr Supercomputer 03 Adlai Stevenson 04 The Vivian Girls Are Visited in the Night by Saint Dargarius and His Squadron of Benevolent Butterflies 05 Chicago (Acoustic Version) 06 The Henney Buggy Band 07 Saul Bellow 08 Carlyle Lake 09 Springfield, or Bobby Got a Shadfly Caught in His Hair 10 The Mistress Witch From McClure (Or, The Mind That Knows Itself) 11 Kaskaskia River 12 Chicago (Adult Contemporary Easy Listening Version) 13 Inaugural Pop Music for Jane Margaret Byrne 14 No Man's Land 15 The Palm Sunday Tornado Hits Crystal Lake 16 The Pick-up 17 The Perpetual Self, or "What Would Saul Alinsky Do?" 18 For Clyde Tombaugh 19 Chicago (Multiple Personality Disorder version) 20 Pittsfield 21 The Undivided Self (For Eppie and Popo)

This sounds pretty cool, but Sufjan has 48 more states to go, and if he keeps dilly dallying on Illinois, there's no way he's going to finish things before he's dead.

You are wrong. The name of the album is Come on! Feel The Illinoise!
