Over the weekend, Jens Lekman played an intimate gig by the pool at L.A.’s Mondrian Hotel, unveiling a handful of new songs, as well as performing a solo-acoustic rendition of this year’s gorgeous “The End of the World is Bigger Than Love.” While all the new tunes sound pretty great (there are a host of other live versions of “An Argument with Myself” on YouTube, as well), one fresh original about stalking Kirsten Dunst in Gothenburg, Sweden caught my ear in particular (Jens always has funny celebrity stories). Rawkblog, who attended the show, reports that the Dunst-inspired ditty is innocently titled “Waiting for Kirsten.” Watch the clip above and check out more videos from the set here.
