New Music: Jens Lekman / Bon Iver: Live on University of Minnesota's Radio K [MP3s/Streams]

What is it with Minnesota and public radio? Why do they have it so good? Is it Garrison Keillor? Anyway, here on Forkcast we regularly point you to studio sessions from Minnesota Public Radio show "The Current". And it turns out the University of Minnesota's student station Radio K also has regular in-studio performances which they then offer as downloadable mp3s. A recent session with Jens Lekman found him playing "It Was a Strange Time in My Life" and "Shirin", and he pretty much always sounds great in these intimate settings. Going back a couple of weeks, Bon Iver, whose fantastic album For Emma, Forever Ago is a big-time grower, sat down for "Creature Fear", "Flume", and "Lump Sum".
