Photo by William Kirk"Let's get away from it all," offers do-gooder Jens Lekman to pal and electronic music-maker Viktor Sjöberg in a message on his website. And so the two shall, on a whirlwind tour of the Asian continent that begins later this month.Lekman and Sjöberg will trade "The Cold Swedish Winter" for the more inviting climes of South Korea, Singapore, China, and Indonesia on the trek, which kicks off November 29 in Seoul and wraps just over a week later in Bandung. It would appear Jens is attempting to set up a gig in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur sometime after December 6 as well, so if you or someone you know lives in the area, wouldn't hurt to drop the guy a line.read more

Combine a hobbyistic niche extreme sport, Kristen Wiig, and an indie rock soundtrack featuring roller derby enthusiasts like the Breeders and you have a movie that could be a lot of fun. Whip It stars Ellen Page (Ghost Cat) and was directed by Drew Barrymore. Who doesn't like Drew Barrymore? Not Jens Lekman. She flew the songwriter out to LA and...

And realized he had it while on a plane :( Read the obviously well written and sad tale at his site. (Thanks for the tip, inkiostro.) Get well soon, Jens!

We haven't seen a solo headliner from Mr. Indie Rock Class of '07 since, well, sometime in '07. I think the word "wit" was used like 50 times then, and two more years means two more years for Jens to get more charming. You can tell by the airplane motions in Andrew Youssef's photos that Lekman did "Sipping On Sweet Nectar," along with a couple o...
