look beneath the floorboards for the secrets i have hid
Bryan John Appleby couldn’t be at the All Delighted People: Sufjan Covers benefit show at the Triple Door in Seattle a few weekends ago, so he sent in this video cover of “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.” and …uh, WOW.
John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (Sufjan Stevens) – Bryan John Appleby
The Chapel Session Bryan did with me is still up for download over here. There is something so piercing about his voice. Also: Sufjan himself played the Triple Door back in 2005. You can download the KEXP broadcast of that show here, still.

[...] Missed this cover completely – I mean it sounded familiar that he did it, I think, but then found it yesterday on the Fuel/Friends blog when looking at her Autumn Mix. So that is where this one is from. You can find a great video of it over on the original post here. [...]
