Shake it up: Peter Moran

OK. Even though we were in the audience at Peter Bjorn & John's VMA Rookie Showcase set at the Palms pool in Vegas, we still can't stop watching the show over and over and over again. And we still can't help having our minds blown all over again. (Sorta like how an incredibly attractive person only gets hotter every time you see them and you're like WTF!? How's it possible for your hotness to increase exponentially every time I see you?)

Anyway, the show started out on a fairly mellow note with "Paris 2004," which we thought was gonna set the tone of the mid-afternoon outdoor show. And, of COURSE the life-affirming, everything-is-temporarily-right-in-the-universe experience of seeing "Young Folks" live -- which included a more pronounced bass line and ACTUAL, not recorded, whistling -- was basically akin to a musical baptism.

UPDATE! We just saw our boy Vince was throwing down some chips in the front lobby of the Palms. Aces high!

Look who just raised the stakes on our VMA weekend star spottings! It's Adrien Grenier, hangin' by the pool at the Palms, taking in the Peter, Bjorn & John show. The Entourage star kept a low pro and, ironically enough, rolled with almost no entourage whatsoever. Low maintenance is the new black!

Even if you don't recognize their name, chance are (get it? "chances"? Vegas!? Sorry. All the heavily oxygenated air is getting to us.) you definitely know that irresistibly catchy whistle of the Swedish indie band's breakout hit, "Young Folks." And we're off to go catch Peter Bjorn & John live set by the pool. We'll return with stories and snaps!
