Jens Lekman

Welcome to another week, another band, another blog.  I would like to welcome the newest follower, a late bloomer, my brother Andy Cutler.  Welcome aboard sir, you have missed so much.  In recent news, I attended my 10 year high school reunion last week!  What a blast that was...

Unfortunately this week I have not come prepared with a new beer.  I happen to be enjoying a Busch Light.  This is a beer made in St. Louis, MO by the Anheuser Busch Brewing Co.  In the world of domestic beers it's not too shabby.  One eyebrow up folks.

I have to admit I have been quite the slacker this week and have not been partaking in any new music.  Because of the I have chosen Jens Lekman as my music pick of the week.  Jens is a singer/songwriter form Sweden. He is more of a folk artist but I really enjoy his music.  His songs tend to be slow, but at the same time weird and fun.  The first song I have decided to introduce to my bloggers is called Postcard to Nina.  This is a song about a lesbian who is scared to tell her Catholic parents that she is gay, so Jens visits her parents with her posing as a boyfriend.  It unfolds as a funny story of dinner and awkward conversation.  One of my favorite lyrics are: "I get a little nervous and change the subject/I put my hand on some metal object/He jokes and tells me it's a lie detector."  Love it.  The second song I would like to share is call Jens Lekman's Farewell Song to Rocky Dennis.  I actually just learned tonight that Rocky Dennis is the real life person behind the movie Mask with Cher.  At any rate, both songs are great so check them out!
