Best Coast is a popular new buzzband with a female lead singer. Their 'fuzzy buzzy tunes that yearn for a boyfriend, weed, and a zany cat have captured the hearts of the bloggiaosphere, with many waiting on 'pins and needles' to see what respected indie music website Pitchfork Media would 'give' the record CRAZY FOR YOU.
Pitchfork gave Best Coast an 8.4, an identical score to WAVVES. Many indie fans are 'perplexed' because Best Coast's album is regarded as 'way better' than WAVVES' poopy album, and Pitchfork should have at least 'given a 0.1 point edge' to Best Coast. The only motivation for this move is probably to avoid 'creating conflict in their relationship', since giving one of them a higher score would have meant that they 'wear the pants' in the relaish. In most middle class American relationship, who 'wears the pants' is determined by who makes the most money. In buzzband alternative celebrity relationships, who 'gets a higher Pitchfork rating' usually determines who is 'The Man in the relaish.
It seems like Pitchfork didn't want 2 'cause beef' / start the beginning of the end of their relationship, so they were just like 'whatevz...yall can be the same.'
It seems like the first line of the review references 'fights with bloggers', making it clear that Best Coast's 'blog beef' with HIPSTER RUNOFF might go down as one of the definitive buzz elements of her career:
Scene-famous boyfriends, a quote-generating Twitter feed, scuffles with bloggers, and the most meme-generating feline since Keyboard Cat got carpal tunnel: Yeah, it's safe to say Bethany Cosentino, who writes and records with cohort Bobb Bruno as Best Coast, is a long way away from her days as a member of drone/psych outfit Pocahaunted. Best Coast's full-length debut, Crazy for You, serves only to increase that distance from the outré-music scene; the brief record delivers on the promise of a strong string of singles released over the past year.
Sorta wish HIPSTER RUNOFF And Best Coast coulda rode chill waves 2gether, because HIPSTER RUNOFF is on the record as 'being able to make phone calls to insiders that can get any artist an extra 0.5-0.8 points from Pitchfork.' (HIPSTER RUNOFF negotiated with Pitchfork to
Anyways, then they say her songs are 'simple' and to 'go easy on her' cuz she's just a bro who loves dank as much as the rest of us:
That last function has become a sticking point for many who complain that, as a lyricist, Cosentino lacks a certain depth and overall intelligence. It's true that she's not exactly the Randy Newman of the beach-pop game-- there's a few too many "crazy/lazy" rhyme schemes, and feel free to snicker at the "I wish my cat could talk" line from "Goodbye". But it's easy to miss that, just as these songs are relatively basic in construction, she's never aimed for any sort of lyrical grandiosity-- just feelings, presented as straightforwardly as possible.
Then they close the review with a line where they say 'she has tons of promise':
It may be a summer album by design (I mean, for Christ's sake-- that cover), but I'll place my bet that Crazy for You will sound pretty great all damn year, and beyond.
