So far I like everything about this band. Their love for old school Blink-182, Southern California, summer time, reverb, and the ganja. Apparently the singer moved to NYC for college and was bummed on the winter, so she said screw this, moved back home, and started jamming with her homie. After a handful of really strong 7″s, Best Coast’s debut full length Crazy For You is 30 min of surfy pop rock perfection. It’s The Queers Don’t Back Down put through a Holy Grail and slowed down a couple BPMs. The influences are there, but the beautiful singing and sunny melodies are completely their own. From what I read the two members seem to have a rare chemistry genuinely rooted in friendship. I have not enjoyed an album from start to finish in years. In fact I cannot remember liking every track on a record, probably since Dillinger Four’s Civil War (2008). I’ll be cruising around on my skateboard and singing a long, just like I did when I was 15. Summer time rules!

So good.

MGMT covering Talking Heads at Wesleyan College. On 4/20/03 no less.

I need to work on my timing, angles and finger-blocking.

Sad to see former greats lingering into obscurity.
