Even better than the Arctic Monkeys this trio from from Sweden gave us
so much life. Imagine Coldplay shredding guitars, setting off crowd
surfers, and Chris Martin jumping as high as he can for most of the
show. That was the impact that Peter and company of PB and J affected
my music taste and knowledge. The song "Objects of my Affection" has
the kind of stature as the songs "Caught By the River" by the Doves and
"Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. With their hit Young Folks,
Amsterdam, Teen Love(Bluetones cover) and Up Against their was a ton of
power in their set. PB and J are one of the best bands in the world. A
classy type, that live their life young, and influence all their fans
with music and knowledge. "Your life gets better with age", said Peter
during the set. I couldn't agree with him more as I'm continuing to
grow as a person. I wish I would of met the Monkeys Monday but meeting
Peter meant a lot me. I may be starting debate, but believe me I love
the Arctic Monkeys and their performance will probably again be the
second best show of the year. No encore, no "505" and "The Bad Thing",
and not getting a chance to meet them hurt. Listen to this song and I
guarantee you will be inspired. Enjoy life, and take advantage of every
opportunity you get.
