Oh, you’re so nomadic, Jens! Mr. Lekman posted one long MP3 of his February 14th (Valentine’s Day, if you’re sappy) performance in Istanbul, the show opening with the rarely played and arguably appropriate “Do Impossible Things.”Jens did impossible things last night at Bimbo’s in San Francisco, as well. Playing an unreleased number, “New Directions” if your SAK correspondent recalls correctly, that seemed to sample Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al,” Jens later went on to announce “Fuck San Francisco!” after explaining that some Italian fans told him recently after a gig that they didn’t need him to tell them now nice their city (in that case, Florence) is. “I thought they were going to kick my ass,” he explained, so he was taking the opposite position in the Bay area for the evening.
