New Peter Bjorn & John Video - "Objects Of My Affection"

Peter's falling! And yet he still sounds nasally cool. The third vid from Writer's Block sets the still-hot Swedish pop trio in a magical space of grays and whites, with B&J mellowing on a staircase and Peter touching his gigantic balls and making them glow. Yes, that's an accurate description. (via BV)

I liked it better when it starred George W. Bush:

I enjoy a lot of tracks on their cd but count me out on this one. So boring.Flesh is flesh, flesh is flesh is flesh. Ehhh.. those repetitive drum beats aren't working for me either, Lame. This band is a bit overrated. Screw you Drew Barrymore

Is the version of the song played in the video available anywhere?
It's certainly different than release on the full length.

Fuck Young Folks; I've been saying all this time that this should've been the track that put PB&J on the map.

the cartwheeling rag doll cascading off circles concept is a a direct rip of an online campaign done a year ago. too bad.

Not bad but nothing special either.
They're a good band though.
I'm still in shock over the fact that I heard "Young Folks" on my local "rock" station the other day...really weird.
