V. Excited

Could not be more excited for the Jens Lekmen show at the Black Cat tonight. Should be awesome. I only saw a portion of his last D.C. show but it left a big enough impression to make my Top 10 gigs of 2007 list. Seriously, when he played that Chairman of the Board sample at the end of "The Opposite of Hallelujah" it was one of those moments you hope to have at a concert. Everyone in the venue perked up and was like "Hell Yeah!" and readied themselves for a special night. And that was just the second song!

Hoping for more concert nirvana tonight.

Jens will be on NPR's Talk of the Nation at 3:40 for an interview while also playing some material from his excellent album Night Falls Over Kortdela.
