Via: IdolatorNow here's a blog I can get behind. Some crusading soul has taken it upon themself to try and stop the growing popularity of Swedish popsters Peter Bjorn & John and they've started an emergency blog to spread the word. The reasoning is as follows:
"Do we want Peter Bjorn and John to be hailed as the standard bearers for a whole genre of music? And the answer is: NO WAY. As I acknowledged in the previous post, "Young Folks" was catchy and harmless, but this band is not a significant band. Peter Bjorn and John must be stopped. "
How, you might be asking yourself, does this individual plan to accomplish this? By travelling to SXSW to protest of course. As the blog points out, PB&J will be performing several times at the music conference, and this nameless avatar of justice is organizing a protest rally outside of the trio's scheduled in-store performance at a local record store Friday March 16.

This is hilarious. And they are probably behind it maybe. If they were smart they would be. I think PB&J has been over-hyped but in a good way because people are finally happy to have some fun, harmless and unpretentious pop music in the indie world. But as much as I like them I like the sandwich much better. If someone was to boycott the sandwich I would not be laughing. I'd be swinging back. Verbally of course. You know. I'd start a blog or something because the world needs more blogs.
