MELBOURNE - JENS LEKMAN CARES ABOUT HIS AWARD, HONESTLY

Jens Lekman has been living in Melbourne recently and happened to be at our friend's studio when we dropped by yesterday. He's about to leave for a European tour but told us that he first plans to stop by Stockholm to sort out a wee problem that has arisen in his absence over a music award he received at a ceremony recently.

It turns out that one of the award show's producers collected the prize on Len's behalf, proceeded to get stuck into the free bar and stopped by the 24 hour Pizza Hut for a feed on the way home where he just so happened to accidentally leave Jens's fairly large trophy behind. What Jens is holding up in this picture here is a scan of an article from a Scandinavian paper in which the guy who found the stray award is being interviewed about his find. The article says that the guy doesn't know who Jens is and that the music industry over there is put out because they think Jens left it there and doesn't care or something. It's funny because Jens seems like the most pleasant and kind guy in the world who has probably never eaten Pizza Hut pizza in his life and while he's been staying in Melbourne, this whole shit-storm has occurred, even though all he wants to do is write sweet folk songs and play tiny little instruments.
