Last night I saw the Jens Lekman show at Bimbo's 365. Let's just say I haven't seen anything this musically orgasmic since Daft Punk played at the Greek Theater.
Throw Me the Statue opened, and very unusually for me, I saw the entire opening act. I remembered not really getting hooked on any of their songs before, and their live performance never really grabbed me either. I spent the whole time mostly daydreaming about Jens.

I didn't recognize any of them, but it reminded me of Barry White. Just as people started getting impatient, one of the songs morphed into the opening drum beat of Into Eternity, and Jens and his band of six hot Swedish girls ran out onto the stage to explosive applause and cheering.
Jens and his girls were all wearing plain white outfits, each with a different object embroidered on the shirt. …
