Lykke Is Sykke

She's hot. She's indie and she can sing. I know artists come and go these days, but if she plays her cards right, this girl's going to be huge.

That's what anyone who sees Swedish singer Lykke Li will take away from her live performances during CMJ. She's got that whole sex kitten thing going on too, which never hurt anyone. And hey if things don't work out, she's got a great porn name, but you didn't hear it from me.

Our timing couldn't have been any better. We got there, got a drink and Li took the stage. She sang 5 or 6 songs -- a mix of ones I know and others I didn't -- and was done. Short and sweet, as she was performing later at Bowery Ballroom.

Lizzie Trullie took the stage after Lykke -- her first song made me think the DJ was playing Dinosaur Jr for whatever that's worth -- but we were off to get some food and meet a friend for drinks on the LES.

I'm sorry I missed Hayes Peebles and that guy with four names everyone's raving about, but them's the breaks.

Checkout this video of Lykke singing Little Bit live on LATER with Jools Holland. You gotta love someone who sings lyrics like "And for you I keep my legs apart...And forget about my tainted heart...And I will never ever be the first".
