KNOCKOUT: THE TOP 20 TRACKS OF 2011

#2 Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. However, the mainstream media, YouTube kiddies and overall awful people made this more famous than it should have been, they made it a Pop culture hit and that my friends is a bummer. Like MGMT before them, Foster The People made the most of their 2012 release; Torches, with a bunch of singles and videos, remixes, etc. Exposure of great music is always nice but to prostitute one of the finest tracks of 2011 in EVERY MEDIA POSIBLE was kind of excessive, even that guy you HATE loves this now. ALSO IMPORTANT (And this happens everywhere) does nobody understand the lyrics in “Pumped Up Kicks”? How could you be so cheerful then? Google them damn it.
