superstar Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ok, I really do not have to right to be starting this thread! I just found out about this guy, Jens Lekman, and frankly I think he's fantastic. "Jens Martin Lekman is a Swedish indie pop musician residing in Melbourne, Australia." The thing that really drew me into him are his LYRICS. They are hilarious! I just recently found him, of course, but a few of his songs had me on the floor laughing! Specifically "Postcard to Nina" and "I Am Leaving You Because I Don't Love You" and "The Opposite of Hallelujah". The lyrics are just very frank: "I took my sister down to the ocean/but the ocean made me feel stupid". I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of him! I don't know nearly anyone here who does, but I thought he might be more popular in foreign countries. If you haven't heard of him, definitely look him up! You will laugh so hard!

superstar Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hey yeah! I think this guy's really cool! http://www.jenslekman.com/shows.htm His 2009 tour dates are out. The Summer U.S. tour is all far away from me, and he's not in California when I am. Ah, poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superstar Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 JL does fantabolous covers A Little Lost {Arthur Russel} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au9IDvOxE7Q Jens Lekman & Tracey Thorn - Yeah! Oh Yeah! {Magnetic Fields} & dreamy songs A Sweet Summer's night on Hammer Hill "rarities" http://stereogum.com/archives/jens-lekmans-department-of-forgotten-songs_001098.html Wow! I had a dream that he had a book out last night. The lady in the store told me it was an excellent book, but I was broke so I tried to steal it. I think the dream happened because I want to buy the rest of his CD's but I don't have any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstar Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mika tweeted about Jens! Am really really liking the Wouter Hamel album. Thank you to one of my fans who gave this to me yesterday. It's kind of like Jens Lekman about 6 hours ago from Tweetie Woah, had no idea Mika knew about Mr. Lekman!
