Happy Birthday, Sufjan Stevens! May your day be filled with more joy than the number of states you once promised to write albums about. From "Illinois" to "Carrie & Lowell," you've serenaded us through existential crises and road trips alike, making banjos cool again and teaching us geography better than school ever did.Recently, your album "Javelin" reminded everyone why you're indie music's favorite storyteller—proving yet again that melancholy can indeed be catchy. Here's hoping this birthday brings inspiration for another masterpiece (or at least a song explaining how exactly we pronounce 'Sufjan'). Cheers to many more whimsical melodies ahead!
