Video Dingbat Episode 3: Jens Lekman

Hey kids! It's time for another episode of Video Dingbat! This epsiode features an interview and live footage of Jens Lekman from his intimate solo show at Perth's Rosemount Hotel on the 8th of March. Jens discusses his quitting and return to the music industry, problems with the media, his love of Australia, as well as his upcoming work. Please be aware that Jens was quite sick during both the interview and his live performance. Go on, check it out!

You can subscribe to the video feed in iTunes, Democracy or your player of choice using this feed address: http://dingbat.libsyn.com/rss. Or you can check it out in the iTunes Music Store!

Here's some more ear candy for you:

Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me (direct link from Triple J)
Jens Lekman - A Sweet Summer's Night On Hammer Hill (direct link from Service)
Jens Lekman - You Are The Light (Video) (direct link from Secretly Canadian)

'Your Arms Around Me' is taken from a Triple J live recording from last year. The song isn't available on any CD (at the moment at least) but I believe Jens performs it on his upcoming DVD-EP. The other two tracks are taken from "Oh You're So Silent Jens" and "When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog" respectively. You can pick up both those albums from 78 Records. Jens also has some of his out of print Tour EPs available for download at his site. You can also find some more great tunes At the Department of Forgotten Songs.
