As I was driving home tonight, I was flipping around the radio dial (something I almost never do) while searching for a broadcast of the Illinois basketball game, when I heard a familiar voice like a beacon over the airwaves. Mucho kudos for WXRT for playing a little Sufjan Stevens. It’s nice to know that not all mainstream radio totally sucks.
Now I was searching for that basketball game because tonight was that start of the Big Ten men’s basketball conference schedule. My beloved (and still undefeated) Fighting Illini beat the Spartans of Michigan State. With the teams ranked #6 and #7 in the nation, this had the making of a great matchup, but what we got was the Dee Brown show. He was on fire from behind the 3-point line. That along with Illinois’ stifling defense (which held MSU to over 30 points below their season average) sealed up the victory.
Oh yeah, and for all you Page France fans out there, you should head over to their new myspace page because frontman Michael Nau keeps posting new songs every day (but has taken down the eight that were up yesterday and today). I’ll repost them if anyone wants them. Their last album Hello, Dear Wind was #7 on my top albums of 2005 list.
