Hi. Long time reader, first time commenter.
You can't beat Sufjan for song titles. Come on! Feel the Illinoise! Also, Ryan Adams, "Oh My God, Whatever, Etc"
Welcome, Pedantius. Glad you stopped lurking. I love the title "For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti" by Stevens, myself. Love the song, too, for that matter.
