Summer Is Always Best Through A Window

So says Jens Lekman, the indie-pop star currently being quarantined in his native Sweden because he's contracted the H1 N1 virus, or swine flu if you must, qualifying him as the first pop star I know of who's come down with the global pandemic. As reported in Pitchfork, Lekman, who's playing thumb piano and singing Arthur Russell's "A Little Lost" in the clip below, realized how ill he was on an Air France flight coming home from South America. As he writes on his blog, his fellow travelers gave him looks that said ""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." Get well, Jens.
