I had the opportunity to see Jens Lekman a couple of weeks ago here in Los Angeles. He played to a sold out crowd, which was apparently quite different than his previous trip to LA where he played to an empty Spaceland. One of the highlights of the show was hearing his explanation of some of the songs on the new record. This song was recorded earlier on the same tour but over in Sweden where the songs are still in English but the stories are in Swedish.

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)
