OH HEY. Remember I was looking for that song Kids? It's apparently just a mellow version of Colors on the Walls. It's still really good though. You can check it out here. Now. To figure out how to get that in iTunes...

I think I'm on the verge of becoming an FtP stan just saying guys. ;-; lol

Favorite Song: Pumped Up Kicks (lol) or Call It What You Want. I tend to swing between the two, really. Should explore some of their other stuff though.
First FtP Song: Pumped Up Kicks! Sydian linked me to it and I was like OMG I KNOW THIS SONG and got their album and yeah. B)

WELCOME LEAFU. Finally. :) Yes, their album is great.

Spoiler:


Cubbie looks so manly. What were you doing, Mark?



Cubbie really looks like a cop. Pontius should never grow a stache. :)



Mark looks like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite js. Pontius is like Gallade in this. Or is that just me?

What do you want to be the next single?
Either Warrant or Waste. Two awesome songs right there.

Spoiler:
Darn! But I really do love that song. Really upbeat.

Looks pretty awesome. Pontius shave that thing!

I think this is from Warrant. Or maybe Houdini. Or something new all together. : \

Oh hey. I got another topic too. The music video for Helena beat is good. But honestly it doesn't go with the lyrics. Today I was thinking about something I saw on Youtube. The comment was "I thought Helena Beat was about drug abuse" and I though. Oh. That makes so much sense.

I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight
Sounds like he's drinking. It makes so much sense. I think the director just made up the part about the kids and stuff cause that really doesn't make sense to me.

Xyrin, those pics are from the next single. lol I'm not gonna say it though, since I don't think everyone has read what the single is, but you just found out so. :P

I was reading an interview about the meaning of Pumped Up Kicks (linked on Twitter if you wanna see it, I'll link again later maybe!) and Mark stated that the songs from Torches take the point of view from outcasts and underdogs (which really shows in Chin Music For the Unsuspecting Hero). He also said that he loves to write about different characters, so most of their songs are not really his point of view on things. I think that's a great and unique perspective and he just went up in my book...if that's even possible. haha. Link here: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=22941

What do you think Helena Beat is about?
Not being Hollywood biggots, methinks. "I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way." I thought the poison was a dose of fame. :x

They formed in 2009 actually, but they didn't really get popular or well known till this year. So I mean, unless you're a super hipster, you had no way of knowing about them prior to this year. Welcome aboard, first non-supporter to join the club! XD Never used radio paradise myself, actually. Also yay, someone else whose first FtP song was Helena Beat. :]

Also guys, I've decided that after we get about 10-12 members and reach 3-4 pages, I'll assign someone to be co-owner. :) Doesn't really grant you much though, except moving up in the member list and having a different symbol by your name, unless I can think of something else in the meantime...XD; But yeah, thought I'd let you know. I haven't ran a club in a long time, so I'll be sitting here on my throne thinking of nifty things to post and discuss and such in here.

That...that better be parody. XD That is so freaking weird!

I heard of the name before, but earlier today I listened to some music by them, and all I have to say is... This band is amazing, I've only just recently liked them, but it's a relativity new band, so that counts right?

Also, this band is the kind of the stuff I would expect to hear on radio paradise. Realizing it's never been played on radio paradise I was kinda disappointed, hopefully soon though.

Welcome to the club, wcdaily! So you started off on Helena Beat? How'd you hear that before Pumped Up Kicks? XD

Also, maybe a slightly controversial topic! Not really, but anyways.

Is there anything you DON'T like about Foster the People?
The only thing I kinda don't like is that my two favorite songs, Miss You and Cal It What You Want, both end rather suddenly. I don't like when a song just STOPS, so while I love those two songs, it just bugs me that they kinda just stop. >__> Anybody else think that way, or is it just me? XD

That's what I did. I never heard about FtP or anything until I saw you guys going crazy about it so I asked Syd what are their best songs and Helena Beat was there so I listened to it first.

Helena Beat. That's their best. Then Love, Pumped Up Kicks, and Houdini.
So I listened to those!

I just realized I didn't listen to love... BRB.

I agree with Pikapal omg. I thought there was something wrong with my versions of the songs because they ended abruptly. XD But that's not really a beef with the band. As of right now, I can't think of something that I absolutely don't like about FtP.

Don't worry, I think that was written by overzealous crazy people. :3c

Late, but how about that performance on SNL? Did you guys like it?

Welcome to the club, Nuke! -edits first post-
Oh I loved the SNL performances. xD Mainly because it's Foster the People of course I'll love them. xD But also because their second song, Houdini was tweaked a bit. You can what I mean here:

http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/foster-the-people-houdini/1361095/

And, here is Pumped Up Kicks:

Enjoy! :D

EDIT: Dang it, ninja'd. xD Oh well, I will leave the links in case those get taken down off Youtube or something. xD

I am not even half a minute in on the Pumped Up Kicks video and Mark is just making me smile and laugh. <3 And yeah, really. What is awkward about this performance? I love watching him do his lil white boy dance moves. I'm glad he's comfortable enough to move around while singing. I know I can't! XD But really, if anyone found him awkward, then well, I think that separates the real fans from the Kicks fans. ;) Besides, I have seen STRANGER performances. So really, there's nothing weird or awkward about this at all. I quite like it. He's being him, and that's all that matters! mark let's get married now

I'll watch the Houdini one later. My internet's being a bugger. >>

...oh wow i can really talk about that guy can't i lol v///v

You should have watched the Houdini one first then. xD It;s the one with a little something extra. ^__^

And no worries, I would gush about Cubbie, but I don't feel like typing all that. xD

Hi guys, I forgot about this club. xD

I saw the video earlier today and it's sooooo amazingggg. I think I like this one better than the previous two. :D

Also, I gave this to Syd via twitter, but might as well share with the other PC FtP fans. :D I grabbed a few screenies from the new video. Honestly, there was more Foster & Pontius than Cubbie, which was like... the only sad thing for those who love Cubbie. xD
