My Top 1000 Songs #699: Feeling OK

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.] 

Not every entry on this list can be a "this song changed my life and has had deep emotional significance for me for decades" kinda song. Sometimes it's more like a "this song makes me happy and makes me want to run and make a mixtape for friends just so I can include it" kinda song.

Best Coast's "Feeling OK," off 2015's California Nights, is in the latter category. The band polish their earlier lo-fi post-shoegaze wall of sound into something shiny and gleaming, the aptly-titled pop song pleasantly coasting on Bethany Cosentino's inherent charm. Think I'll make a mixtape...
