X929's 2014 X-fest speculation

[jayswin]

Wow, sounded like Foster the People didn't really want to be there.

They were as indifferent, as lazy, as totally whatever as the impression they made. Zero stage presence, less musical effect, F the P seemed tired, bored and, worse, resentful, especially when it came to performing their hit Pumped Up Kicks which they saved for the second last song. What does it say that Weezer’s cover of it at the inaugural X-Fest was so much more memorable, even considering that frontman Rivers Cuomo didn’t even know the words and was singing them off of a sheet of paper. Granted, nobody likes being a dancing monkey, but when your career and all the success you have has been built almost entirely on one song — a great song, a one in a million song — suck it the hell up, play it, smile, and, yeah, dance, monkey, dance.
