Saturday 09/12/06 Peter, Bjorn and John @ Oxford Zodiac

Peter, Bjorn and John kicked off their set with 'Let's call it off', which is surely the most big-bollocked and perverse starter since Interpol got on stage and sang "we're going to the city, gonna trek this shit out". The crowd were well into PB&J's shit. For a lesser band, having a song as unbeatable as 'Young Folks' would have made it difficult to hold the crowd's attention, but that was not the case for these Swede's. In fact, the audience were with them all the way, following like sheep, even bleeting "baa, baa, baa" to 'Paris 2004'.

Some people have whined about the whistling on 'Young Folks' being out of tune. Hopefully those idiot's stayed home tonight and watched "How music works with Howard Goodall." Off-key sounds are sometimes deliberate, to make a song better. On record, Victoria from The Concretes features on the musique concrete of 'Young Folks', but not tonight. She was swapped for Markus from support act Laakso, in a homoerotic turn of events. Swede's are supposedly liberal, after all... "Would you go along with someone like me?," "We don't care about the young folks," "We don't care about the old folks." Maybe it's all about the in-betweener's, teenagers for Peter, Bjorn and John. Later, they did play 'Teenage Kicks', bringing more happiness to the fourteen and over crowd.
