Best Coast Is Amped -Alyson Camus

I don’t get the point of the new Best Coast video, ‘Boyfriend’ they have just premiered on MTV. It’s just boring,… sorry Bethany’s fans, it is. But wait, why would there be a point? It’s Best Coast!

The video is filmed in a park where a Quinceañera (a Latino party celebrating a 15 year old girl’s birthday) is happening. Ok and so what? A scene of every day in Los Angeles, a bright sun drenched day, some fresh grass, balloons, and BBQ in the park, and this is enough to make a video? That’s true that her so elaborated lyrics would have had a hard time to inspire a great mise-en-scene.
I got it, I am way out of her target audience, teenagers in love, 90210 soundtrack material, but this is so flat and uninspiring I don’t see why they have even bothered releasing a video.

This is what Bethany declared to the press:
‘Seriously one of the best days ever! Even though I had to wake up at 6 am it was worth it. We ate tacos in a beautiful LA park all day, and got to hang out with really amped little kids and a super cute little black dog’

Yeah, seriously, how old is she? She sure speaks as she writes, or vice-versa, and I am sure I bore you to death right now with that story, because there is nothing to say, at least this is a short video.http://vodpod.com/watch/4701117-new-video-for-best-coasts-boyfriend
