kicks = pumped + up

So, you’re thinking that the indie-pop trio Foster The People—what with their alterna-chart topper about Nike Airs (we think)—are one of those massive-sarcastic-air-quote “indie” un-massive-sarcastic-air-quote bands. Of course, it’s also possible that these talented Californians actually deserve all their success and radio-play because they’re, you know, talented Californians. I mean, we’re not going to just ask you to take our word for it (this time). I’m sure someone has the deets you need to se—oh. Hello, Info Bracket. Nice shoes.

    You know that song is about a mall shooting, right? Good song, but not just about the shoes.

    My fourth-grade English teacher told me there are no right interpretations. He also really liked shoes.
