This week it was all about playing these songs on repeat. Have a listen and maybe you'll be putting them on repeat too. Sorry that's all I have to say, it's been a long weekend. Jens Lekman - An Argument With Myself Blitzen Trapper - Love the Way You Walk Away Yukon Blonde - Fire [...]
Thursday night I had the opportunity to attend a sold out event at Roosevelt 2.0 . The event included a showing of the documentary Farmegeddon , a discussion with the director and sampling of local foods and products provided by restaurants, farmers and foodies. WMNF , the local community radio station, played a large role in putting this event together. Farmegeddon, as with most documentaries, had some flaws but overall I enjoyed learning through human impact stories that were presented by the film. These were stories of farmers who were [...]

New news from Jens Lekman is always good news. It's almost been four years since his grand opus of a record Night Falls Over Kortedala was released. The album was one of my most favorite albums of the year. The Swedish crooner's new single "An Argument With Myself" I admit didn't quite "blow me out [...]
Just like London buses, you wait for one and then get a plethora of arrivals all together. So it is with some of our favourite bands who are releasing tracks into the blogosphere at much the same time. You may have some/all of these already, but if not every one is worth having. First up is Blitzen Trapper and Love The Way You Walk Away from forthcoming album American Goldwing . We love the band's mix of loose, countrified rock and surreal first-person folk stories. This is one of our most anticipated albums [...]

Night Falls Over Kortedala was one of my favorite releases of 2007, topped only by Fishboy's release that year. It's hard to believe that it's been four years since that album, and that it's taken so long for Lekman to follow it with new material. Wait no longer; Lekman is back with a new EP dubbed An Argument With Myself and we have been given the title track to enjoy as a little taste of what's to come. Take the sound of the most recent Lekman album [...]
Jens Lekman has been away for a bit, four years to be exact. Now he's back with a new EP and a new track for our ears and it's a pretty damn good one. It has a nice summery feel, with dancey guitar and clever lyrics about "An Argument With Myself". Fuck you, no you fuck you! You didn't come here for nothing did you? Jens has delivered the goods, and you can pick up the rest via Secretly Canadian . The Argument With Myself EP drops on September 20th here [...]

I've always heard that talking to yourself isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's when you start answering your own self-analytic questions out loud that one should start worrying about their own sanity. That said, Jens Lekman might want to seek professional help. But that might stop him from making thoroughly enjoyable, reggae-infused tropical pop songs [...]
Once we get all old and wrinkly with the energy to do nothing but sip on the sweet nectar of our memories , Jens Lekman is the guy we want hanging around us to put our entire life story into song. Who else could we trust but the Swedish singer-songwriter with the tender baritone croon and flair for the grandiose to be able to compile together our recollections of every great romance we've ever had, the many fascinating people we've come across, and the numerous fragments of tiny everyday moments that have lingered in the [...]
Just as we did last week , here's a playlist we made over at RDIO that takes you through the biggest stories on Prefix in the last seven days in musical form. Go here to check out this week's playlist or stream it below. Here's a rundown: We start this week's playlist considering the final Pavement album, Terror Twilight, as our Matt Fiander did in his (really great) n ew column Quarantining the Past , a feature detailing albums from the 1990s.

Time to work my way through two weeks' worth of emails. Will probably take a few days (understatement of the day). A Classic Education shares the good news that the band will release their debut album Call It Blazing on 25 October. + I Lost Time [...]

The latest from Jens Lekman is exactly what the song title suggests. Quite literally in the song he not only describes an argument with himself, but also sings out the dialogue. (Shut up, no you shut up!) I think it's hilarious, but not in a way that makes me lose respect for the musical prowess of the song. It's pop, it's tropical, and it's really catchy. Look forward to more madness in Jens
Frank Yang The timing of Beirut's first shows back in Toronto in a couple of years was a bit curious, coming as it did three weeks before the release of their new record The Rip Tide (though it's out digitally tomorrow). You wouldn't hear any word of complaint about it from their fans, however, as most would already be acquainted with the new material via live recordings circulating online and any opportunity to see the Zach Condon-led orkestar was to be celebrated, not questioned. Particularly when there were two [...]

Three days ago, talented Jens Lekman revealed the title track to his new album. September 20th is the anticipated date. This Swedish artist is such a melodic story teller, I don't think it ever gets old. Lekman's new song, "An Argument With Myself" literally contains lyrics with him arguing with himself ("Shut up. No, you shut up..."). Don't worry, it's an upbeat song with a few tropical beats. To make this more endearing, he posted "An Argument With Myself" for everyone to have a free download. You go Jens. Download: [...]
