I can't NOT like them... The song Amsterdam off that album is awesome as well. The entire album really is decent as a whole, I like the shuffle feature on my iPod, but when a PB&J track comes up, I usually switch to the album and let it play all the way through. Glad I saw them in PDX at the Fir, as I wouldn't want to see them at the Crystal

Haha. That's hilarious.

They kinda hit me all at once, like suddenly I noticed that 3 of my friends had changed their MySpace song to Young Folks, plus I saw it on MTV and Fuse... that was all in one day, and that was the first time I'd heard of them. So I never really got a chance to like them, it was just like "Gah, go away."

Plus the name Bjorn is so goofy. I'm sure it's a legitimate Swedish name, but everytime I see it, I can't help picturing the Swedish Chef going "Beee-YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!"

"Young Folks"... its like Bobby McFerrin's, "Don't Worry, Be Happy", only 20 years later. Please folks, whether or not you like PB & J is their music going to cause a shift of the magnetic poles or drastically change the orbit of an earth killing asteroid? Switch stations, turn off the radio, or leave the club.

Jeez-Louise!

While I wouldn't go to the lengths of that one dude to display my disdain for them, they kind of really bug me for some reason. The song itself is fine, I guess (a bit too cute for my taste). But I've seen them three times now on various late-night shows playing the song; and watching them perform makes me want to bang my head against a wall. It's like watching amateur hour or something -- I HATE the way they keep looking at each other when they sing. And their sound to me, is like the light, non-alcoholic version of Belle and Sebastian for folks who might think B&S is too heavy.

:ugh:

:shivers:

But, god bless 'em. They have a catchy tune. I just hope I don't accidentally see them again.

They're Swedish. They don't know any better.

This is such a relief! I first heard of them a decent while ago when my friend sent me an MP3 saying it was "fun and twee," which was actually a bad way to introduce anything to me. I understand what "twee" is, I enjoy a lot of the music, but do we really need more stupid words to alienate casual music fans with? Anyway, I listened to it and thought, "yuck, why is this the direction of indie music, I dislike this aesthetic," and then I forgot about it for a while. Then I started seeing their name popping up everywhere on my friends' last.fm pages and livejournal entries. I was beginning to fear I was the only one who felt this way. I think I also really hate their band name, and that contributes to my feelings. If they gave themselves a real band name, I might be able to bring myself to like them.

WE MUST NOT LET THIS GO ON!!

Backlash is a bitch.

I actually like that song a lot. There are quiet a few other bands I'd like to "STOP", such as Belle and Sebastian, The Strokes, The White Stripes etc. Every time I hear any of those bands I can't help but to think, "I liked it better when it was called The Velvet Underground".

Then again, I never listen to any radio ever, so I guess that helps with me not being sick of those guys as well.

is this guy by any chance also blogging about how great ron paul is?

what a winner.
also, lol@ anyone who seriously claims "indie rock" is a genre.

/slap

Heh. I started listening to them simply because the video is pretty funny.

they're good, but not coldplay good.

hah....hah?

I loved it!

When I was sixteen I totally thought indie was a genre. I also thought you had to wear stripes and Lisa Loeb glasses to be admitted.
