Sufjan Stevens announces next album tracklist & release date

I ran across this story today regarding the 2nd album in the Sufjan Stevens "The 50 States" project. This time around Illinois is the focus. The first album in the series was the rather successful Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lakes State which was released nearly 2 years ago. It was interesting to read the article mentioning that at the current rate, the 50 States project would be completed when Sufjan turns 89. I guess it's time to speed things up (and stop releasing non-state albums, like last year's 'Seven Swans'. I had read previously that it was expected some of the "smaller states" would be relegated to EPs. I just hope he does Ohio before the gimmick runs it's course.
