"paraphrased"
Jesse: I listened to "heroes" the other day, Ian.
Me: Oh, yeah? What'd you think?
Jesse: It was pretty great!
Me: Awesome! What songs did you really like?

Not Dizzy Enough, more like!

—WHOA, EDIT Y’ALL! There is no way I listened to that much Sufjan!
(unless it was that night that I put the playlist on, starting with Seven Swans, and fell asleep through that, Illinois, The Avalanche, maybe a live show and some...
