Even Stevens had plans to make an album for each of the 50 states in the U.S. begins the series with the albums Michigan (2003) and Come On Feel The Illinoise! (2005 officially named Illinois) He has since retracted the statement "Sufjan Stevens will not write a postför all 50 states after all "was the original text on-line booklet on Mews Too: An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation disc released February 7, 2006 This statement was possibly included as a joke because the text has since been removed and the present booklet relating Sufjan Stevens says," Sufjan Stevens can fold a fitted sheet (he once worked as a professional folder in a commercial laundry)
