Best Coast The Only Place [Mexican Summer; 2012] by A.S. Little Rating: At first, I attempt a bike ride with The Only Place , Best Coast’s latest. It’s spring-going-on-summer, after all, and they’re notorious pop-adepts, catchy and pithy, heavier on concision than meaning. But there’s a hitch in my plan: the fab couple won’t play on my little MP3 gizmo, an equally sun-eager Philips Songbird. The music files are in the wrong format. 50 Cent and El DeBarge once implored their shorties, as if dealing with unresponsive radio stations, to “switch up the format.” Sadly ...

Gourock is a small town some 25 miles west of Glasgow.  It sites at the head of the Firth of Clyde and with islands and steep hills all in close range can provide the most spectacular of scenery as indeed it did the night Aldo and myself rolled along to catch Frightened Rabbit on the first night of a short Scottish tour that was going to take them to some remote venues.

On Further Review by Cara Giaimo in stores now The title of this one pretty much says it all. Crack open Ben Kweller’s new album and you’ll find sunshine, breezes, skies patched with colorful squares, and a dab – just a teaspoon – of snark.
