Lena

My Little, Temporary Loves Album Cover

Lena is Russian girl with a bio from spy flicks (and you thought Cold War was over!). She is often compared to "female David Bowie". Her musical curiosity is stronger than her sense of propriety. That goes for other things, too. Her self defined music genres are "smooth punk" and "mock pop". "Punk" - because she believes that compliant music is root of all evil. "Smooth" - because she is foxy. "Mock" - because Lena likes to play with different genres, from very mainstream but elegant pop to obscure dark cabaret influenced by Kurt Weill .

MOCK POP ARTIST LENA ASKS: IF HE WON’T PICK
UP THE CHECK, SHOULD SHE JUST SAY “GOOD BYE”?

Button-Pushing Single Addresses Postmodern Dating Etiquette;

Song’s Question Perfectly Timed for Sex in the City Fans

It’s a problem that every heterosexual who goes on a date these days has likely encountered: A meeting in a restaurant, some flirty conversation and then the check comes. And it just sits there.

Should the man automatically pick up the check in this situation? And if he doesn’t pay, should the woman be outraged? Or should she be “liberated” enough to open her wallet and her legs? If she gets angry about the issue, how should he respond?

Is chivalry an absurdly outdated concept in this era of speed-dating and Internet hook-ups? Or does the issue get to the heart of a conflict – between the irresistible force of how women feel and the immoveable object of how men think – that can never be resolved?

Is there any such thing as normal dating behavior anymore?

Alt-pop singer/songwriter Lena confronted this situation – and then wrote a song about it. The track, “Good Bye,” appears on her recently released maxi-single, My Little, Temporary Loves (out now on Fa Records).

The Russian-born, Chicago-based artist has invited her fans to create and upload their own videos for the song; the winning clip will win a $5,000 prize. The song plays when you load Lena’s MySpace page (myspace.com/schizowave). Contest details can be found at http://www.farecords.com/lena-contest.html.

With women (and at least a few men) going in droves to see the Sex in the City movie, it seems like a fair topic – should there be any sex in the city if the check sits on the table?

Lena wants to know what you think. Check out the song and weigh in at lena.fm or her MySpace page.

Of course, if he relents and decides to pay – or otherwise proves too charming to resist, regardless of his financial maneuvers – the man in question could end up receiving one of Lena’s freshly minted “Thank You for Your Sex” T-shirts, which have been seen adorning the torsos of the erotic cognoscenti nationwide.
