Jens Lekman has H1N1 (Swine Flu); will probably sing about it

This is the sort of news that I wouldn’t bother posting, but Jens Lekman news is a big deal in this house.
The news comes via Jens’ blog, which explains how he contracted the virus while in South America. Kinda scary to be honest, and hopefully he has a speedy recovery. And ignore that bit about him singing a song about it, probably won’t happen, but you never know…

MP3: Jens Lekman :: “The Death of This Summer”

I picked home one last souvenir from South America, it’s called the H1N1 virus. Wrongfully known as the Swineflue.
I was crossing the Atlantic when things started getting really bad, the fever was hallucinogenic and shaking me like a leaf and I grabbed the sleeve of the Air France steward. “I’m not feeling well, I should see a doctor” I said and the reply came as a brilliant mix of death anxiety and french rudeness: “Uh, yes… Terminal D… go there maybe… when we land”. After that the stewards and stewardesses took long detours. A ring of empty seats formed around me. Peoples eyes were kind but determined, they read “Poor you, I really wish you all the best but if you come near me or my kid I will have to stab you with this plastic fork”. I got up and went to the bathroom where I fainted.
Now I’m in quarantine for ten days. I can see the summer through my window and it’s just perfect. Summer is always best through a window.
Quarantine.
