    sister, it’s the opposite of hallelujah.

  4. “Summer is always best through a window.”

    That is just fantastic. Get better soon and we’ll see you on Hammer Hill, Jens.

    wishing you a speedy recovery !!!

  7. Who is Jens Lekman?

  8. “Swine Flu” fits in perfectly for a “Black Cab” parody. “And I’ve heard all the stories about the swine flu and the way they spread. But if you come down with it, you may come back dead.”

  9. I bet this incident will inspire an awesome song.

  10. Ugh, that’s a real drag. Get better Jens!

    I eagerly await the song that captures this stroke of bad luck

  12. Aw, man- I love this guy. Why can’t someone I hate get the swine?

    Everything that touches Tig Notaro gets really sick. Poor Jens, he should have been warned.

    Tig Notaro is more like an infected wart than a swine flu but caution is advised. I really do feel bad for Jens — he couldn’t have known.
