What is this shit

And why do they play it on rock music stations?

8/8/2011 9:32:38 PM

ain't nothing wrong with a song about going to school and shootin' all the cool kids

8/8/2011 9:36:33 PM

I can't even listen to the lyrics, I have no idea what the song is about.

It sounds like a rhinoceros with dysentery after eating 20 gallons of ice cream

8/8/2011 9:38:20 PM

What radio station?

It's an ok song IMO...I heard this remix of it first, but didn't realize it was a remix of a "Pumped Up Kicks" until recently (because I had never heard Pumped Up Kicks)

^^ 106.5 out of Charlotte, and I think I've heard it on 100.3 out of High Point.

The rest of the album is pretty good if you're into that kind of music. I actually like the rest of it better than Pumped Up Kicks. Look them up on You Tube and give 'em a shot.

8/8/2011 10:47:17 PM

fuck this shit

8/8/2011 10:50:29 PM

SHIT i thought this thread was about EMCE Dee Brown

8/8/2011 10:51:56 PM

Call it what you want.

Lock this queer thread.

8/9/2011 8:28:39 AM

Reminds me of an edgy Owl City.

8/9/2011 9:14:17 AM

I like how Pop radio stations just starting playing this song and are calling it "new". Meanwhile it's been on the XM Alt station for the last 5 months.

8/9/2011 9:22:00 AM

i like how you knew about it before everyone else. do you have a vlog i can subscribe to?

8/9/2011 11:29:46 AM

look at this hipster right here, TKE-Teg

8/9/2011 11:31:05 AM

good night, sweet prince

8/9/2011 11:32:21 AM

I want to restate how much I 1) hate this song and 2) Hate whoever classified it as rock music to the radio executives.

8/9/2011 7:48:52 PM

I heard this song a few months ago on the way to the beach. I liked it.

It's definitely a pop song.

And the video is horrible. It's just images of the band playing music, tossing a frisbee, and drinking beer.

Definitely want to take a gun to the whole band and the guy who thought shots of dudes chillin' was a good concept for a music video.

[Edited on August 9, 2011 at 8:07 PM. Reason : ]

8/9/2011 8:07:28 PM

you do realize that that video "concept" has been done thousands upon thousands of times before, right? The video director just takes a bunch of clips that were shot during the bands' tour and sets it to music. I have no clue why that would bother anyone, although I guess hipster nation might be mad since it isnt some Donnie Darko artsy bullshit

also, I really like this song, and Houdini off their album. I've been Spotifying the shit out of Torches for the last couple of weeks

[Edited on August 9, 2011 at 8:12 PM. Reason : adsf]

8/9/2011 8:11:03 PM

Yeah, I'm aware, and I don't mind watching people doing things.

But dudes chillin'...is horrible.

Go watch the video if you don't believe me.

I mean, frisbee...

8/9/2011 8:17:18 PM

I've watched the video, its not like they were playing frisbee specifically for the music video, it was probably just some footage they shot during their downtime that got put in the video.

dont watch the video for Houdini, its close to the same thing as Pumped up Kicks, just without the frisbee

8/9/2011 8:20:48 PM

Donnie Darko?

Just stop it.

8/9/2011 9:20:11 PM

the helena beat video is insane!

first time i heard of this group was through a RAC remix earlier in the year. i was super disappointed when the original was nothing like the remix

10/4/2011 10:00:03 PM

pumped up dicks

10/4/2011 10:48:09 PM

good one

10/4/2011 11:25:11 PM

ITT we find out that AndyMac doesn't realize that 106.5 in Charlotte is an alternative station.

10/4/2011 11:32:58 PM

sounds like maroon 5.

10/4/2011 11:35:54 PM

Hmmm, never in a million years would I have made that comparison

[Edited on October 4, 2011 at 11:36 PM. Reason : also wtf someone called me hipster? FML]

10/4/2011 11:36:34 PM

When the lead singer sings live, he sounds like a dead ringer for Mike Love of the Beach Boys.

10/5/2011 10:16:02 AM

^^^^ Doesn't matter, this song is straight up pop music.

[Edited on October 5, 2011 at 10:42 AM. Reason : Damn I missed 25k and didn't even realize it ]

10/5/2011 10:41:59 AM

Thank god someone else hates this song.

10/5/2011 10:44:36 AM

^^the thing is, when a song (regardless of its genre), is popular it will inevitably be played on a Pop station. Doesn't mean other stations can't continue to play it

10/5/2011 12:34:22 PM

This has been my ringtone and text message sound for a while

10/5/2011 12:47:02 PM

MAN OH MAN

just when I think GoldenGirl can't get any cooler.

10/5/2011 2:54:16 PM

Foster the People will be the musical guest on SNL this week

10/5/2011 2:58:33 PM

Whatever guys.... I liked them before they were cool...

So now I don't like them no more

10/5/2011 8:35:31 PM

This is probably stupid, but this song bothers me because of the content as well...

When "Fuck The Police" came out, people went ape shit. If someone made a computer game about shooting up your school, people would go ape shit. But because this song is "hip" now, it wouldnt be the cool thing to do to go ape shit over this....

PS - Im completely toasted. This may not even make sense.

10/5/2011 8:39:56 PM

pumped up kicks is not even their style. its really strange. i dont know why they used that echo effect to mask his real voice.

2 of thier songs have been in car commercials for over a year.
