the other day i put all my Jens Lekman songs on to play from most played to least played. i liked this. it was like the best playlist of all my favourite Jens songs, but with little to no effort, or having to sift though all 80 or however many of them there are. but something better has happened, somehow i have stumbled on a package of all of his really rare songs, which are all obviously as good as the other ones, with the added bonus that i have never heard them before! (there's something comforting about hearing your leading man's voice in a way you've never heard it before. you know? i am not shocked by string quartets, or weird samples of children laughing. i love these things, and i love how they are rearranged this time.) so, please don't disturb me, i have Jens Lekman to listen to.
even though i am concentrating on Mr Lekman, i could not be disturbed, because there is no one to disturb me, but little things like that have become the highlights of my days. it's because i've been spending many days alone. it seems Harriet and her house mates and i are the only people in falmouth, and where i do enjoy seeing them, it gets a little repetitive after a fortnight... however, there are other people here in falmouth, people i wouldn't not see, but loneliness breeds insanity which breeds wanting to be alone, which breeds loneliness... (you get the picture) after spending a few days alone the thought of seeing anyone again makes you want to reply with a punchy "No.", like a pre menstrual woman. it's strange behaviour. but let's face it, i am probably enjoying every second of it.
