"When I'm With You" music videotacular

MP3: Best Coast - When I'm With You

New music video for Best Coast's #1 hit "When I'm With You" directed by Pete Ohs. It's a real fucking sunny piece that makes you want to grab a doobie and book it to California. Well done, BC.

The video (embedded above) is on MTVU which has the worst streaming player in my opinion. Hopefully it pops up elsewhere shortly. Also, enjoy an mp3 of the song if you haven't already.

Best Coast is the BEST

MP3: Best Coast - When I'm With You

Sorry for the week off, I'd moved and been without internet for like a month. So you may get a few posts of shit I loved but couldn't express it through my blog at the time and that you're probably over already. Like today!

Best Coast released a 7 inch (which looks to be only digital) single for "When I'm With You". If you read the comments to our coverage of BC in the past, everyone seemed to be over the lo-fi recording sound. At first I disagreed, because some songs really seemed charming like that, but eventually I caved. It wasn't just Best Coast, it was everyone. But I think this single is an answer to that and shows that this music only gets better with a little sprucing up on the recording end.

And holy shit, is "When I'm With You" the most perfect fucking song ever! The lyrics kick ass and it is a catchy number, embedded in my head since I'd first heard it and even right up to this minute. Highly recommended!

New Best Coast hit: "Wish He Was You"

Best Coast I think is the best new band of 2009. She's keeping summer alive from her lair of endless sunshine and spreading the good news across the land. Check out the new song "Wish He Was You" at her myspace now.

Also, it looks like her upcoming output should keep us busy for awhile: beyond the previously announced 7 inches on Art Fag and Group Tightener, we can expect 2 more from Black Iris and PPM. Stoked.

UPDATE: One of my fav blogs When You Awake just posted Bethany's mix for crushes. It's killer. Get it here: http://whenyouawake.com/2009/09/25/mixin-with-best-coast/
