MUST WATCH/LISTEN: Buy Nothing Day by The Go! Team feat Best Coast

This song is so fuuunnn!!! Couldnt help but to bang my head off with this track while writing this post! The Go! Team knows how make a seriously fun music. The kind of music you would want to hear every morning or during roadtrips on summer breaks. Buy Nothing Day is part of the band's upcoming third album Rolling Blackouts and this time, Bethany Cosetino of Best Coast helped them out on the vocal parts. She has a sunshine in her voice. Now, I can't wait for summer to officially start!

MUST WATCH: Boyfriend by Best Coast

I find it ironic how teen artists do adult stuff in their music videos while "mature" artists do otherwise. It could be one of the effects of global warming. But I am glad that Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast is not doing any Miley Cyrus stuff in their music video for Boyfriend, one of my favorite tracks from their awesome debut Crazy For You.

the main girl on the video looks like America Ferrera, no?

MUST LISTEN: All Summer by Best Coast, Rostam & Kid Cudi

La Niña Phenomenon might just pester our country soon but it's not going to stop me in posting some sweet summery song to make my gloomy days sunny. Converse commissioned Kid Cudi, Rostam Batmanglij and my super favorite as of the moment, Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino in a collaboration in this summer anthem. I like All Summer better than last year's My Drive Thru by Santigold, Julian Casablancas and Pharrell. You can download the track from Converse.com
