A Benefit for Malaria No More.All the proceeds from the digital-only album will go to Malaria No More, and organization dedicated to fighting malaria in Africa. On a personal note, my sister-in-law contracted malaria while in Africa a few years ago, so I can vouch
All of us music fans should know Peter Moren from Peter Bjorn and John and of course Adam Olenius from Shout Out Louds. The name of this new music project is called TUTANKAMON. This band also has members from fellow Swedish bands The Concretes and The Plan.

These are the Scandinavian “Young Folks” who made you, your mama, and every Grey’s Anatomy fan whistle like a buffoon in 2006. With their latest album, Living Thing, Pete, Bjorn, and John are back with a vengeance. So much so that Kanye West had to blog about their latest single like a little school girl: “SHIT IS DOPE!! DRUMS ARE CRAZY AND I LIKE THE KIDS ON THE HOOK…WITH ALL THAT SAID
Peter Bjorn and John's Writer's Block may have inadvertently previewed what was to come for this band; unlike most one hit wonders, the Swedish trio had released three albums with a number of fantastic tracks; "Young Folks" just happened to catch a wave of support that far surpassed anything else they had ever done — for random circumstances as much as its own brilliance. Now, with "Young Folks.
7.2 out of 10 stars“Do this thing this type of thing, put a little money in this type of thing, we’ve got nothing to worry about. I got nothing to worry about.” From the opening high-pitched children’s choir shriek of “Nothing To Worry About,” Peter Bjorn and John had me hooked. Just three years [...]
In the minds of most North American indie rock fans Peter Bjorn and John will be forever linked to an earworm of a whistling bit. With Living Thing (out Mar. 31st), the Swedish trio seem determined to erase the memory of "Young Folks".Living Thing is still rife with catchy pop hooks, however, there is a more sombre overtone that blankets the band's fifth studio record. Songs like Just the Pa
Many people were shocked and put off by the release of Seaside Rock, the sophomore album and follow-up album to Peter Bjorn and John's hit debut Writer's Block which featured the absurdly overplayed "Young Folks". I'll admit I was a bit stunned at first when I realized that there wasn't going to be any catchy [...]

Here's a memo from the Dept. of Embarrassing Admissions:Lately, I've been obsessing over the unquestionably delectable Louise Bourgoin - a young French actress who earned a Cesar nomination last year as best newcomer for her debut feature-film performance in writer-director Anne Fontaine's prickly mix of comedy, drama, thriller and romance "The Girl from Monaco." And now, in one of those strang...
Tonight has been one of those nights. 35 below outside with nothing really on TV. While browsing through MOG, I noticed the whole Meez thing has kind of taken over. It lead me on a quest, to find an unknown band I had never heard of before with a cool animated video. The underlying goal here was to find a "new" band, and it would be the cd I bought with my first real paycheck in 9 months. I hav...
Since I decided to ignore lukewarm accounts of the Coachella set by Sweden’s pop-rockin’ Peter Bjorn & John, I was well-greased to see them live – especially at the first of two sold-out nights by the band at Bimbo’s, the kewlest supper-club in North Beach.It was more than just the whistling on their fiendishly insistent single “Young Folks,” although, as Odin is my witness, I find tha
