Was working through my iTunes playlist and felt in the mood to make a small mix. There’s going to be a Part Two, because it just seems like it is unfinished. Might even have a part three, who knows?

I’m working on a new layout and some entries about some ideas that I’ve been mulling over (Hong Kong, television — big surprise!, RockBand, et cetera).

I’m going to relay the events that unfolded prior to, during and after the Kings of Convenience/Jens Lekman show last night, March 31st, in Manila. See, I took down notes on old receipts I found in my wallet, because I was suffering from Twitter separation anxiety, I guess. I suspect it’s just really one of those times when everything that happened seemed to be particularly important or poignant.

I’m going to out myself and say that I’m not really much of a Kings of Convenience fan. I only know a handful of songs, but I liked them enough to decide to watch them, but what really, really excited me was when I learned that Jens Lekman was going to be playing with them. Petra introduced me to Jens a couple of years ago, and I never really got over him.

So there. Here is an account of what happened last night. There’ll be pictures because those are pretty cool. The videos will follow, but just know that it was an amazing night, and they are amazing people.

Jens Lekman.

Kings of Convenience.

Under the cut are pictures with captions & a somewhat comprehensive timeline, sans setlist. Continue reading Yours Truly, Jens Lekman….
