		After moving to Illinois, one finds that one of the oddest occurences is Casimir Pulaski Day, the most famous state holiday you've never heard of (as you're just now moving to Illinois.) Some Chicago-area residents love the day so much that they name their children after it.
		Anyway, so when Sufjan Stevens writes a song called Casimir Pulaski Day on an album called Illinois as part of a project to write an album about all 50 states, I'm hoping for some Polish flavor and day-off-from-school-for-mysterious-reasons good times.
		Applying one's faith to life and music at once is a humbling proposition, and I give Stevens credit for attempting and succeeding in many parts.
