Well, this is it. For any Jens fan who also reads blogs that post about the Black Cab Sessions , getting Jens to croon this tune for the series was always to be the apex of punny possibilities. We couldn't resist mentioning it when Death Cab played for Black Cab , and according to the note that accompanies this performance, neither could the BCS's entire audience in most every piece of fan mail...

From his Jens Lekman's blog: 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.
