Best Coast, "Crazy For You," and the Supremacy Of The "Vision Quest" Soundtrack
The sunny, retro stylings of critical darlings Best Coast have not totally grabbed me yet. Not that I particularly dislike them, but, for instance, I would enjoy this song more if it were a cover of Madonna's greatest ballad. But, interestingly, they're premiering their new video on the LOLcats mothership, I Can Haz Cheezburger (which yes, just raised $30 million). Here's the Madonna video.
And some other songs that were on the generally excellent soundtrack to the 1985 Matthew Modine movie, Vision Quest.
Had the 45 of "Crazy for You" as a youngin'. I believe Berlin's "No More Words" was on the flipside. Liked both songs quite a bit.
And Vision Quest does indeed rock. If only to see Jake Ryan in a mohawk.
JAKE RYAN.
I was at a New Year's party, and one guest was saying how Michael "Kuch" Schoeffling went to his high school.
And that's when I knew he had me beat.
I was this close to Loudon Swain-ing my way into Bar Trivia glory. Now I have to just settle on Lebron-ing.
Despite how over-played they are, I like Best Coast. And though the video is kinda meh, debuting it on ICANHAZ is inspired.
Amen. I'm going to go sway around the room by myself and cry a little to Madonna.
I think Best Coast is overrated- I saw them open for Weezer and they just sounded….mushy….no strong melodies (like my FAVORITE californian band off all time, Beulah- they got that california sound with hooks to back it up)
