Grammy Trail Off #5: Foster The People’s ‘Pumped Up Kicks’
We know “Pumped Up Kicks” has already won a place in your heart (a place that you muffle out sometimes, because damn, it’s being played everywhere!)–but will Foster The People take home a Grammy for Best Pop Group Performance? Ah, perhaps–but let’s do a little fact-surfing to bide our time.
One of the first of many placements of “Pumped Up Kicks” was in a 2010 episode of Entourage
Actress/singer/wholesome being Mandy Moore was a recurring guest star on Entourage in 2005.
Mandy Moore and Gavin DeGraw both have a song titled “Candy”
Actor/hipster Zach Braff directed Gavin DeGraw’s “Chariot” music video
Zach Braff is totally into Foster The People and saw them at the Wiltern in Los Angeles one time. Tweet proof:
