Right, so about this time plus 12 hours last weekend I was going downstairs to get my 4th cup of coffee when a particular video came on CoolTV, for a song called "Helena Beat".
I stand there for the three odd minutes listening to it and promptly return to attending to the deficiency of caffeine in my system. As the day goes on, the song keeps playing in my head over and over. It's catchy, but then again so is syphilis. So as the week goes on I keep coming back to that song, however, I've completely forgotten the name of the song, and the band. Then, on Wednesday, as I'm taking notes in Psych class, it hits me. "Foster the..." I can't remember the rest of the band, so I scribble it down in the back of my notebook next to a crudely drawn G36 and get back to work. A few hours later after getting home with two Steel Brigade troopers in tote (irrelevant but awesome), I look back over my notes from the day and come across the half-remembered band name. Off a hunch I look up "Foster the People" on Youtube and iTunes. Bam, there it is, Helena Beat. I take a listen, and like what I hear. So, I go ahead and by the album, "Torches". Now if you don't know these guys, they're an indie band out of LA. And I gotta say, they're really damn good. Every last track is a catchy little ditty, simple but poetic in its own way. Of course I know nothing about music and the vast majority of my iTunes library is assorted video game soundtracks, so I'm just going to conclude this ramble by asking, "who else?" In the meantime, I'm gonna kick until I need new shoes.

I don't think I understand the question. Is there a question? Are you asking what other artists we like? What new or indie bands we like?

Though I have to admit that "Call it what you want" and "Don't Stop" are topping the album as far as plays go on my iPod.

I too looked them up on youtube not to long ago and enjoyed pretty much everything I heard by them and decided to go get the album as well. I haven't been disappointed in the least bit and certainly have them playing quite often. I looked up their tour info and found out they are playing all over the place with many of their shows already sold out. I sure do hope I get a chance to see them in concert in the future!!
