A UFO sighting near Highland, Illinois, occurred in the early morning of January 5, 2000, when multiple witnesses reported a massive, silent, house-like triangular craft with lights flying low and slowly over the area, which became known as the “St. Clair Triangle”. This sighting was the inspiration behind “Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois,” which appears on @Sufjan ’s album ‘Illinois.’ Enjoy Sufjan performing the song at the Manchester Apollo in the UK on August 31, 2015. Filmed by @Rairun (YouTube) ‘Illinois’ is available to purchase/stream on your favorite service - link in stories.

On this day in 2020, @sufjan and Lowell Brams released the new age album ‘Aporia’ on Asthmatic Kitty Records. ‘Aporia’ was recorded over the span of several years. “You know how it is with jamming,” Sufjan said at the time of release, “ninety percent of it is absolutely horrible, but if you’re just lucky enough, ten percent is magic. I just kept pulling out these little magical moments.” Intended to release on March 27th, the release was bumped up due to the spreading Covid-19 pandemic. The music video for “The Runaround” was shot and edited by @ABUTTA492 (YouTube), and features Bike Life bikers on the streets of Harlem and NYC, Atlanta, and Miami. Link in our bio to stream/buy ‘Aporia’.

Sufjan and I in the spring of 2004 on our way to play a show at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Michigan with Denison Witmer and my best friend Kevin Brace’s band, Whiskey Tenor. When we arrived, there was a long line of people that went around the block, waiting to get in. My entire family was there and all my old friends! It was one of my first shows back in my home state and at the time I was headlining that tour, so I remember thinking to myself, “look at you Rosie!” I was so excited! After Suf played and half the crowd dispersed we realized they were there for him. His Michigan record had just started to take off and that was sort of the first time we saw the beginnings of his career changing. Though I was a little bummed for me, I was excited for him - and he was just bummed for him. Hahaha. @asthmatickittyrecords @denisonwitmer @kwbrace @blindpig_annarbor @sufjan
