![YOUTH LAGOON, PETER BJORN AND JOHN, THE DODOS [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3714994_lg.jpg)
I know I say this every week, but seriously everyone, this might be one of the best weeks of live music here in NYC in recent history. We have The Dodos , Cut Copy , Young Man , and Youth Lagoon in town plus multiple shows from Peter Bjorn and John . Enjoy the warm weather early in the week and then Fall-like conditions towards the weekend, and, of course, enjoy yourself some great live music! The Dodos , The Luyas @ Music Hall of [...]
Spike Jonze gets the award for best music video director of all time; that's just how it is. So of course Ye' and Jay are gonna get him to direct the first video for their hyped-as-hell collab. For some reason though, this video isn't as epic as one might expect it to be. It's more just a fun, good-time kinda vid (a really, really expensive one). I do wanna know how Jonze managed to sync up K & J 's lips perfectly with the lyrics while [...]
Peter Bjorn & John had already released a pair of marginally-successful albums and were even beginning to gain a small amount of notoriety as being one of Sweden's most promising young pop ban... Continue reading "The 28 Best Whistling Songs of All-Time" >
FIN DE CINEMA'S BLOW-UP : MONARQUES, THE RESERVATIONS, ROCKY AND THE PROMS ( Holocene , 1001 SE Morrison) Take a multi-pronged approach to entertainment with Holocene's Fin de Cinema: You'll get a film (Antonioni's cult hit Blow-Up ) set to music (the Monarques and others perform a live score) with fashion (not only is the film iconic for its costuming, attendees are encouraged to dress in their finest mod attire). MARJORIE SKINNER THE RAVEONETTES, TAMARYN ( [...]
Yesterday, we rounded up the first half of this month's 9:30 Club Concert Calendar Previews , and today we're finishing off The List, since this month we have so many tickets to give away (you're welcome) that we actually need to have two Previews. As always, check back on the site throughout the month for ticket giveaways for each show that we've previewed at the beginning of the month. Hey, this is DC-we know you're busy, busy people, and you've gotta plan ahead [...]
Filed under: The Hit List After exhausting the James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes archives, rap producers have found an unlikely new source for their samples: indie music. Whether it's Jay-Z biting from little-known soul revival outfits like the Menahan Street Band or Lupe Fiasco gettin' busy over Radiohead, indie rock is showing up on more hip-hop and R&B hits than Lil Wayne. Since Kanye [...]
A status update from our friend Justin of the OhKeePah Blog read that he "likes songs with whistling," which got us thinking about all the songs in rock history that feature whistling. There are plenty of duds but plenty of classic tunes as well that contain at least a little whistling in them. For this week's B List we've put together a list of the ten most memorable songs that include whistling. The tunes that you can't help but hum along with when you hear them on the radio or [...]
"young folks" was released in 2006 off peter bjorn and john's third album "writer's block." a highly popular song on the internet at the time, the track made mainstream waves after it was used on a number of european commercials & tv shows. in 2007 the band released a sitar cover of their song. after hours of hard searching i finally got my hands on the track for you guys. check out this relaxing cover & enjoy bitches.

[MP3] Taken by Trees Watch the Waves I remember there was a girl who sang on the hit song 'Young Folks' by Peter Bjorn and John. Her name was "Victoria Bergsman" (had to google it). Damn. Can't believe that song was released a blog century ago. The mp3 I posted seem 'pleasant', like I'd put it on my iPod and listen to it while I was studying for my Psych 101 course or something. Or possibly just hear some free-spirited girl say that 'Taken By [...]
Whistling Swedish indie poppers Peter Bjorn & John are coming to Lawrence on August 28. It's an off-date from their tour with Depeche Mode, so we don't get graced with Dave Gahan or some super-amazing... Continue reading "Incoming: Peter Bjorn & John at the Granada, August 28" >
The kids I babysit for have some hardcore music tastes. They are three and seven and when we drive around they prefer listening to a new alternative rock radio station in my town that plays Puddle of Mudd and Nirvana. Their favorites are songs that vaguely mention suicide or self-mutilation or the devil. They head bang, a lot. They like Sonic Youth and the Eagles of Death Metal. But what they like the very best, like everyone else in the world it seems-because this song is the musical equivalent of crack-cocaine-is Peter Bjorn and John's "Young [...]
I like mashups as much as the next guy, but I thought I had heard "Young Folks" enough times to think there wasn't much more that could be done with the track. I am glad to be able...
He's tried John Cougar Mellencamp. He's tried Chuck Berry. He's even tried ABBA (sez McCain: ""Nobody likes them, but they sold more records than anybody in the history of the world, including The Beatles. But everybody hates them. You're a no-class guy if you like ABBA. Why does everybody go see 'Mamma Mia?' Hypocrisy! Rank hypocrisy! I'm not embarassed to say I like ABBA, 'Dancing Queen.'") But nobody seems to want John McCain using their music as his campaign theme. What, doesn't one of those Hillary Clinton fans who swear they'd rather vote Republican than for Obama own a worthwhile [...]
The Kooks cover Peter, Bjorn and John "Young Folks" Everyone loved that PB&J song. Catchy like hell, our fave Brighton quartet The Kooks have made their cover of the Swedes' hit available at the following multiple links. Download away! [ link 1 ] [ link 2 ] Here's the original video:
peter bjorn and john feat victoria bergsman - young folks [ link 2 ] [the whistle that was heard around the world, 'young folks' was yet another end of 2006 song that played like crazy in 2007 (it was definitely the soundtrack of spring playing in every bar/club/clothing store i walked into). definitely a close contender for my #1 song of the year.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Everywhere I go, through Ireland and the UK, I hear this song. You'll find it playing in the back of your head and not realize it after a few days. Snatches of people whistling it as you walk through the crowds. And tonight they played it on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and I have decided that this ambitious little song is trying to rule the world. See more at Pete Bjorn & John .

Factoid: I always want to call gentle Swedish pop group Peter Bjorn and John Peter Bjorn and Paul. Who knows why. Also: Worth a read, if only for the wacked-out-ness. When: Wednesday Where: Crystal Ballroom...
