Peter & Bjorn Cover Paul Simon

While out in Cali soaking up the Hollywood love, P and B (no Jelly, he was busy being fancy in Scotland, recording with Steve Reich) visited Nic Harcourt to tape a session for his Morning Becomes Eclectic show, performing "Let's Call It Off," "Paris 2004," "Amsterdam," and "Young Folks" (no whistle backtrack!). There's a talk-with-Nic break, after which they do another set, including a sweet little "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" cover (more whistling!). Watch it at KCRW. They're mic'd for radio so don't expect any of Peter's Swedish spunk. Music to Drew's ears.

Anyone got MP3?

"Me and Julio" is Simon solo, not S&G

Does anyone else not like PBJ or am I the only one?

i was totally sucked in by "young folks" but after getting the album and giving it a couple listens, i'm underwhelmed. the songs are bland and just kind of run together. maybe it'll grow on me, but right now i'm not impressed.

If PB&J were playing LiveEarth, the Scott would be cumming himself and not complaining about a "shitty lineup"

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
