hello there. I've recently started listening to Foster the People and while I was searching on the web for more information about them I found your blog. Mark Foster... I find him very inspiring. His lyrics, and his life style (as I've seen on his instagram, he's been travelling the world). But I couldn't get what 'smims' means yet. Could you please enlighten me about that? thank you.
Wow this ask was probably ages ago, but hopefully you still follow me so you can see this ask. This is what Mark foster said about the name:
FOSTER: “It's an inside joke—one of my friends, a long time ago, was going to open a coffee shop and was asking a bunch of us at lunch for some names. We were throwing out different ones and she was shooting them all down. And I said Smims Coffee and Tea, the most ridiculous name—we both started cracking up! Later when I signed up for a publishing company, there were all of these names that were unavailable, so I ended up naming it Smims Coffee and Tea Publishing. It just has evolved into my DJ name: Smims. It's nothing, just a palindrome and sounds funny.”
