Has Foster the People Taken Over the World Yet?

I need to be very careful with my wording because the last time I wrote about this band, I got made fun of by a friend of mine who called me out on sounding too much like a pretentious hipster.

Anyways, I caught their performance on SNL last night and found it to be kind of amusing. If you’ve ever seen them perform (which I’ve only seen on TV and stream) then you’ll notice just how goofy these guys really look when they are performing. Lead singer Mark Foster is just a gangly little thing, but at the same time I feel like I have to give this band some praise because they are quite possibly the most hipster band out right now and have managed to make even the non-hipsters fall in love with them. I think many of their fans just don’t realize it though.

Found this cover video today of Pumped Up Kicks (WHOA big surprise!)  made by three contestants of the Glee Project and AJ Rafael and loved it. I think this friendship is fairly recent, but I find it to be kind of awesome because… it’s the Glee Project kids and also…Cameron Mitchell swoon swoooooon.
