Now You Can Have Fun, Fun, Fun Listening To A Japanese Bonus Track From "Paradise State Of Mind"


Hey, everyone 

In late August I told you about Ebay selling the Japanese edition of Foster The People's latest album “Paradise State Of Mind” containing an extra song, well now thanks to Reddit and the magic of YouTube, it is now available to listen to as many times as you'd like. The track, “Rabies Shmabies” is a groovy 80s treat perfect for a Friday morning and the rest of the weekend as you lounge by the pool one last time before fall sets in. 

The new track would've been a killer track on an already amazing album and an excellent replacement for “Sometimes I Want To Be Bad”, but alas, it's only available in the Japanese market. The track just confirms why Foster The People are my favorite band of every other band in the industry. I feel it's straight out of 2020's EP “In The Darkest Of Nights, Let The Birds Sing” similar to “Things We Do”, but with more buzzy electronics. Bands include an extra track on their albums since music is unfortunately more expensive in Japan than the rest of the world, especially in America. 

I can't say I blame FTP for sidelining this track to a Japanese bonus song with that title, though it's a fantastic track. 

Foster The People are set to hit South America next year for Lollapalooza and Estereo Picnic. If you live there or are traveling, don't miss it!

A Product Review Of "Paradise State Of Mind" Ordered From Foster The People's Webstore

Hey, everyone  Ordering Foster The People's new album “ Paradise State Of Mind ” two days before my birthday in mid-June of 2024 was a fun experience. Mind you, I did extensive research on the different color vinyl variants available before selecting the right one via the band's webstore for about two or three weeks until my birthday weekend. This isn't the first time I've snagged an FTP album on wax from their store, because come the first week of December of 2023, I actually purchased the special tenth anniversary edition of “ Torches ” with leftover money after my book deal fell through. I assure you using the Foster The People's webstore both times has been a huge win for me, and today I'll tell you how and why that is.  The end of November wasn't the best as a career deal I'd been anticipating since autumn 2015 shattered before my eyes. I, however, now had a wad of leftover money to burn in any way I pleased, and what better ...
