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
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

Quietly Peter Bjorn and John’s Living Thing is slowly making it’s way back into my steady rotation of albums. It’s pretty darn good. They’ve just released a new video for one of the stand out tracks, “It Don’t Move Me”. This video combines Michael Jackson (there must be a them for videos this month), Flash [...]
*My first gig and travel of 2007 began with a weekend in Paris.*This trip was my third to Paris since last Fall and I was looking forward to a weekend away from home with some easy music from a band I enjoy but don't worship, in other words 'no pressure'. We took a cheap train into the Capital to see Peter Bjorn & John at the hobbit hole venue, "La Maroquinerie":http://www.lamaroquinerie.fr, Sa...
Remember how every radio station, regardless of what their rock variation format is, played Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” last summer? This year’s equivalent is Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks”, a song I’ve been liking ever since I heard it the first time. But that first time was 9 months ago and now every single radio station out here in San Francisco is playing it every hour. A
for about the last month i haven't really been feeling it music wise. i have been in a musical slump. i haven't really been listening to anything or feeling like listening to anything. but then something happened today to change all that... i was in my car driving to the library and pass the crowds of drinkers celebrating st. patty's day like any honest american should and i had my xm radio on...
All bands strive to avoid the dreaded moniker of ‘One-Hit Wonder’ but all too often struggle to shake off the success of a single insanely-catchy hit.
