DOWNLOAD : Jens Lekman - Oliver and Maddy (MP3) Jens Lekman @ T5, 10/9/2012 ( more by Greg Cristman ) Back in October, my pianist Jonas got stuck in New York after the city got hit by hurricane Sandy. The roads were flooded, flights were cancelled, even the Chinatown buses stood still. This was two days before our west coast tour was supposed to start. I decided to ask for your help. I asked if anyone would be able to drive him to Boston where I knew we [...]

Night Falls Over Kortedala was back in 2007, which has deprived fans of their fill of Lekman for many years, but has given music writers many-a-hacky opportunity to say that he's been "oh so silent" since. (Guilty.) There have been some bits of music and news, of course: a new song here (and here ), a waltz-time summer mix there , with a case of swine flu to boot. But now the previously reported five-track An Argument With Myself EP is nearly upon us, and today [...]

If you would like to see Dave Rawkblog geeking out as hard as he possibly can (also, playing air guitar with awkward, half-remembered jazz chords), you should come see Sondre Lerche on Saturday at the Mondrian SkyBar, where the Norwegian songwriter will likely preview new material from his just-finished 2011-due album. The show is free and is within walking distance of my apartment, so, Sondre, open invitation to come over after and hang with our cat/record a Rawkblog session on my laptop. Everyone else, e-mail skybarla@morganshotelgroup.com to RSVP. And my other favorite Scandinavian singer-songwriter, Jens Lekman (like I [...]

Jens Lekman at the Henry Fonda Theater / photo by David Greenwald And so much more. It's going to be an intense week of show-going and decision-making in Los Angeles; I've got Jens Lekman at the Echo tonight and Harlem Shakes with Passion Pit at the Echoplex on Friday with Thursday still up for grabs (Jens again, St. Vincent or an early bedtime, depending on my constitution). My recs after the jump - who are you seeing? 5/27 Wednesday - Jens Lekman @ The Echo AND [...]
