Synchronize your Swatches, it’s Countdown to Jens Lekman time! Only about a dozen hours remain until the pride of Göteborg (Sweden, not to be confused with Göteborg, Texas) takes the stage tonight.

But really folks, hasn’t this paper been riding Lekman’s dick for far too long now?

Evidentially my creepy fandom wasn’t enough, so now every freelancer and staffer here has to feel the exact same way about Jens Lekman that I do. If it wasn’t for our nonstop pro-escort slant, we’d surely have filled this week’s issue with more and more praise for the Swedish crooner.

Instead, let us calm down a bit and focus on The Honeydrips, who are opening the show tonight. The brainchild of one Mikael Carlsson, the Honeydrips are more beat-heavy than Lekman, but share his love for whimsical and charming little pop songs. Take a listen.
