MP3 of the week

Song: “You Can Call Me Al” — Jens Lekman

Get it from: http://www.chromewaves.net/mp3.php

Ok, we decided it was time to prove this section isn’t just an indulgence of my ardor for “sick” remixes. This week’s rare b-side captures the Swedish songster’s almost-better-than-the-original cover of Paul Simon’s best little song about middle-aged loneliness ever. For all of you who attended Lekman’s show last fall, you’ll remember this as his final number that left the audience swooning. Oh, and you can call him Jens.
