Just got back from Jens Lekman's SF show at Bimbos...I love this guy, but unfortunately...I think he was tired. last time was better...way better. He started out in charming fashion playing air-chimes and dancing along to his songs with choreographed hand motions-- A for Adorable. But as the set progressed the band (violin, cello, laptop guy, bass, drums) disappeared and Jens was looking a little droopy as he whistled through Friday Night at the Drive-in Bingo and whispe...

Rating: (at the risk of losing all my street cred) 8.5 I like to consider myself an equal opportunity music aficionado. There were times in my ignorant youth that, when asked, I would declare my love for "everything pretty much..except rap music. and country." It was later in life, when I discovered the joys of acquired taste, that I forced myself to sit down and actually digest music from these respective categories. I soon found that once you wipe away the contem... MORE

"Oh, I still remember "Regulate" with Warren G.
Could that have been back in the sweet summer of 1993?
It was a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill"

Here's my picks for the top 10 albums of 2007 for you to agree/disagree with at your leisure. Selections were chosen using a secret formula based on an album's "objective goodness," originality, number of times listened to, and...who am I kidding, I just wrote down the first 10 I could remember. In no particular order: 1. Okkervil River/The Stage Names 2. Menomena/Friend and Foe 3. Band of Horses/Cease to Begin 4. Of Montreal/Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? 5. ... MORE

I was on xanga the other day (Yeah I have a xanga, fool. I don't happen to be into being stalked by creepy people on myspace and facebook.) and I was just minding my own business, browsing some cool people's blogs, when I ran across this one broad's xanga. My Mac started downloading something from her page and at first I freaked out thinking it was some kind of harmful something, then I realized it was a song. Apart from being a delightful gesture of givingness, (by that I... MORE

I cannot seem to say this enough, I am in love with this town and I had another great experience last night. I decided to break my Minneapolis show cherry by seeing Jens Lekman and Dave Fischoff at the Triple Rock Social Club, such a great way to do so. Going into the show I knew that Jens Lekman was amazing and had heard from others that he was even better live, so I had high expectations. As far as Dave Fischoff, hadn't really heard of him till I went to his Myspace to... MORE

From my blog of limited edition records, bonus materials, imports, autographs, and all things pretty: SixtyWatt It continues...apparently this new Jens Lekman album is going to rule my blog for a bit longer. Jens' webshop, as well as his label's site (but they'd prefer you to order from elsewhere - shipping charges to the US are too high at the moment), have recently posted a preorder for a vinyl, picture-disc edition of Night Falls Over Kortedala. How freaking cool ... MORE
