Best Coast is one of those bands that I feel is easily accessible for most of the general public. They're one of those bands that you can usually assume most any girl likes. You gotta find a way to "connect" on some level with girls when you first meet them right? Why not ask if they like Best Coast? ;) But on the real, I do like this band a whole lot. They remind me of a Americanized version of Camera Obscura with less of a cynical, misanthropic view of the world. Camera Obscura...although sounding sweet and mellow tends to have some really dark, and edgy lyrics despite the tone/mood of the band. Okay, okay, they're not very similar at all really...the singers just kinda, sorta sound the same is all. Whatever!
Back to the subject at hand. I love this video. A Lot. Apparently Drew Barrymore directed it? I guess that's kind of cool right? I'm indifferent about that little fact. I wonder how much of this she actually conceptualized herself...or if she had minions do all her dirty work and then just slapped her name on it. I'm not saying that's the case at all, just assuming things for the sake of assuming. Who cares. This came out great. Kudo's to her and to this band for writing such a great song. Watch it!
The crazy thing about this is that for a while now I have been wanting to edit something to this. Pretty much since I heard the song I knew I wanted to use it for something. I'm on the verge of wanting to start a new video project and I was thinking about putting together some kind of "thang," for lack of a better word, with this song being part of this so called "thang." I think I still want to! I can see it in my head already and know what I want to make. Just something to remind people that me and the homies are still doing what we do...if that makes any sense. I got all this HD footage laying around and I wanna put some of that stuff to use. Nothing too crazy...just tricks that may not make the cut in a bigger project. I don't want to get too deep on the subject because talk is cheap...
I have a slight headache and I feel like I am having major problems just forming complete thoughts/sentences. Just watch the Best Coast video. That's all I can say. Just watch it <3
