“Pocketful of Money” by Jens Lekman

Forcing myself to update before work all right!

I was working on the senior design project this past Spring in the lab and started playing this album. And, slowly, over the course of the album, more and more people started asking me who it was by. It was by Jens Lekman, a gorgeous young Swede who deserves every bit of your attention. He’s simply delightful.

I saw young Jens last year with my brother. We had each been waiting for a specific song to be played. Rohit was waiting for “Shirin.” I, for “Pocketful of Money.” He had announced that there was “one more song” coming. Then he played both of them back-to-back. The night ended with the crowd singing the backup vocals to this song. Heavenly.
