Redhead outside
St. Vincent Concert - m4w
(Outland on Liberty)
Date: 2010-02-24, 11:13AM EST
I know it's late for Valentine's, but the way you threw those snowballs was like arrows shot into my heart. I was so upset about the show being canceled and was glad to see someone raging against the machine.
Let's meet for coffee or another concert.

I read this and instantly thought of my favorite song about love and civil disobedience.

NOTICE: I am not Diana. I am a friend. DO NOT SEND ME PHOTOS for her! I will NOT foward them to her. Send me an email, and I'll mail you her mailing address. She is in prison, and has NO email access! You must snail-mail her!
Diana is 22. The photo was taken when she was 19. She has not changed. She is in prison at a woman's prison in Marion. She is from Lancaster. She got 3 years in prison for "carjacking" (i.e. her boyfriend told her to drive the truck after he carjacked a man who owed him money). Her boyfriend got life ("three stikes"). Diana got 3 years.
Diana's parents are both deceased, and her sister died in a car crash. She has nobody in the world when she gets out. She is seeking a HUSBAND, somebody who can visit her while she is still in prison, and to take care of her once she is out of prison. SHE LOVES THE BEACH! She wants to live somewhere where she can go to the beach often; once per week or at least twice per month. Diana is 5'4", 120 pounds. She is bi-sexual, and willing to pick up girls for her husband and share the girl with him if he wishes. She does not smoke. She kicked drugs in prison, and wants to STAY OFF DRUGS forever. She wants at least two kids. Men who are NOT willing to have children, DO NOT RESPOND!
You need to have your own apartment or home. You need to make at least 25K per year. She's not asking for much! YOU CANNOT TAKE DRUGS! Any man who does, she's going to leave immediately.
MARRIAGE ONLY! She is NOT interested in "sex" only. You must be willing to visit her at least once a month until she is released in 15 months. If you wish to write her...send an email with "DIANA" in the subject line.
DO NOT SEND PHOTOS! I will NOT foward them!

Finding this Jens Lekman cover over the weekend made my day(I know, I am easily amused). 'A Little Lost' is one of my favorite songs, so simple and poignant. Arthur Russell is a sadly overlooked songwriter in this blogger's humble opinion...and I am a self-confessed lover of all things Lekman. So without further ado, enjoy these two versions of a great song:

"Oh, I still remember "Regulate" with Warren G.
Could that have been back in the sweet summer of 1993?
It was a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill"

How can you not love Jens Lekman? This hopelessly romantic troubadour never ceases to make me smile. I can't wait to FINALLY see him in Indio this year. It will be one of the happiest hours of the festival weekend. I can't think of another singer who could write a lovely ode to the girl that cuts his hair and make it sound so sincere.

No 'best song of 2007' list of mine would be complete without a song from Jens Lekman's glorious album(easily one of my favorite of the year) 'Night Falls Over Kortedala.' The only hard part was picking which song...it was a toss up between this one, 'Postcard To Nina', and 'Shirin.'
In the end I chose 'Hallelujah.' I just love his way with words, and this tune really showcases that. Long live Jens!
