Best Coast

I was there at the Arches in Glasgow too tonight...

What a brilliant picture! Were you caught up in the crowdsurfing too? Been a while since I've seen that level of it at a gig here.

Thanks! No, I was in the photo pit and then watched from the back of the arch.

'gone again' feels like self parody

complete with cat and dope refs

and OOOOOOOOs.

But still, I like it. Everything she seems to do is good.

sorry for the gvb link but you can stream the lindstrom remix of 'boyfriend' without having to 'like' something on facebook

you'd better be sorry

*shudders preemptively, clicks links*

I like the remix but to be fair I yield to nobody in my Lindstrom stannery

Ohh, really love the new video, directed by Drew Barrymore, for 'Our Deal'.

yes, i second that.

Donald Glover underutilized.

really late to the game on this one, it's nice, although a little forgettable.

Oh I can't wait to hear Best Coast go "emo," aided by Jon fucking Brion. Jesus fucking christ.

do you really hate jon brion or?

i don't know that "some punk girl sings shangri-la-esque guitar jams with harmonies & ~guitar effects~!" would have sounded so alluring. one of the nicest parts of her record was our deal; i am into some slow jams.

jon brion is totally awful

Maybe I'm just a philistine but I can't tell how this new album is going to sound any different from the previous one

well, if i had to venture a guess, i'd say that it will sound different because jon brion will find a way to put some dorky keyboard bullshit all over it.

Hahaha

He just better not fuck with the OOOOOOOOsss

apparently there are less OOOOOOOOOOOsss on this record

As long as they are OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs and not the annoying OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAAAA she was singing live last time I saw them.

If I were her producer, I would do away with the WAAA part of the OOOOOOOOO. Keep it pure, y'know?

I totally didn't recognize that the dude was Brion's longtime tech/roadie. Different haircut, I guess.

as long as the keybs are covered in hiss i'm down

Anticipation for this record is bringing out my inner Mike Love. I don't want them to fuck with the formula. There better be plenty of cat and weed references and at least 8 combined minutes of OOOOOOOOO.

whenever I hear them it only makes me wish that amy linton or linton was not retired or designing houses or whatever.

The title track is now available for free download. The California tourism board will be very pleased. I'm going to have to give it a few more listens, but I'm not happy about no cats/pot/ooooooooos. The production makes it very easy to understand the lyrics, which could be a problem.

look what i found tonight:

whenever I hear them it only makes me wish that amy linton or linton was not retired or designing houses or whatever.

I think the band's alright but reading this makes me realize I pretty much have the exact same thought every time I give them a listen.

This is streaming at NPR

thanks

what the hell, this is like a gimme for whinehate™

wasn't into the first single, maybe I'll check out the second if they release a video. liked their first few 7" a lot.

Can we talk about this record? All my worst fears are confirmed. No pot, cats or ooooooh.

i really dislike the sound, it's bizarrely muffled and tubby with harsh resonances all at the same time

makes it difficult to focus on the not-bad songs, despite their cat-free qualities

I actually kind of like this new one, I was subjected to it while browsing at a bookstore. Her lyrics are still awful and rhymes painfully obvious, but I think Brion's production kind of fits it. I don't love it or anything, but it wasn't as terrible as everyone is trying to claim.
