tried to balance between hipster cred and dance floor fillers. think this splits the difference and makes it better.

can't tell you how much I love the Jens Lekman song. So, so, so great. I'd play it 8 times in a row if I were in charge of this wedding. sweet and fun and drunken. i.e. the UnWard.

call me with questions or difficulties.

much love,

Ever since I've heard this song, I've wished we could sneak it into your DJ's set late night at the wedding. If this doesn't become a bona fide memory song for your wedding, well, I'm mistaken again.
I'd rather play this one song than all the others combined.
