Louis Theroux has long had the ability to make anyone seem interesting. He professes to do this by focusing on how off-beat ('weird') people are very normal despite their wholly abnormal beliefs (such as believing aliens are coming, Jews are the cause of evil, or right-wing Christian beliefs are the way forward, etc).

This time last year, Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks”hit the alternative music scene in a big way. The song, with its sweet whistling and instantly addictive bass line, couldn’t help but bring memories of another iconic indie classic, Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks.” Almost instantly, comparisons were drawn, not just there, but with many others proclaiming them the next MGMT.
