We will see you tonight, yes yes?

It's actually a 20+ minute recording of a Jens-focused feature on New York Public Radio, including an acoustic performance of "Shirin" and yes, a cover of Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al."
Latest comment by: Erik Gonzalez: "I have to add that if you follow the chain of links far enough, you come to a great session by Jens from Swedish radio. Its brilliant! Oh yeah, Chris @ 2, I've decided my new rock and roll crush is Kate Nash. How sad is that?"
For the rest of the world, today marked the release of Jens Lekman's new album Night Falls Over Kortedala (hint: it's apparently good as a certain other website gave it a 9.0) and to the rest of the world I say: bite me!
Latest comment by: Toby Kahn: "I agree with Sarah ... it's really really good. It's sort of a Jens Lekman party album but all sentimental and tongue and cheek and everything that Jens Lekman pulls off like nobody else in the world. "
From his website:
Tuesday, November 6th - Seattle, WA - Nectar
No announcements on who the opening bands are (although rumor has it that they've already picked out who the lucky bands are)... but the answer to your question is "Yes, the Nectar."
Latest comment by: imaginary dana: "That is an amazing story, and an even better video. I'm glad Jens returned the hat!"
I was too excited to read that Jens Lekman will be returning in the fall (at least stateside) according to his label.
Latest comment by: imaginary dana: "Jens is so swoonworthy...."
In an obvious effort to make our hearts flutter, Dylan emailed us to let us know he's got a new single out, "Wishing Well."
Latest comment by: toby: "mp3's? there's a post at my blog with a couple mp3's from Pelle's new record."
