Ten years ago I remember reading on Pitchfork that The Go! Team dropped a new single, called “Buy Nothing Day.” I listened to the track and WOW it hit me like a truck of confetti. I repeated this song all day that day and it has been in permanent rotation ever since. I wish I came across stuff this good more often, what a fantastic find this was.
Just some uber-dreamy Californian surf pop, laced with 100-proof epicness. Perfect music to listen to while driving to the beach in the summer on your Vespa
"Vespa"!? Bollocks to that. FJR-1300 (through in-ear headphones), or 3-Litre Jaguar (Bespoke, amped-up system with Alpine R series all round - and windows up...I'm not a shitforbrains)...but, each to their own 🙂
TRUE STORY: I woke up in the middle of the night last night, got stuck in a thought-loop about what a genius Ian Parton is, and ended up laughing out loud in the dark over the pure joy of it all.
lyrics: Nothing came today nothing will tommorow, noone told the system cause their world was out of bounds. Action is a strategy, theres just no getting round. But i would never lose my head tonight and i would never lose my head tonight. [Cause when its all coming back, cant stop the moment. Circle the track, over and over.] Dont plan it all, cause making it up is so natural. Dont know for sure but this is the law that will never come back into light.
This is exactly what it sounds like when you mix 90´s Britband Lush with classics like "500" and "Single Girl"! Thweinstrumental build up to the last chorus is just fantastic!
UFFFFFFF QUE BUENA ESTA CANCION, NO TIENE DESPERDICIO DE PRINCIPIO A FIN. LA MELODIA, LOS ACORDES, LOS COROS, ES UNA CANCION AGRADABLE Y PEGAJOSA, DE ESAS QUE SE TE QUEDAN EN LA CABEZA Y LA TARAREAS TODO EL DIA PORQUE LA QUIERES ESCUCHAR UNA Y OTRA VEZ. EXCELENTE!

After 35 years of listening to indie music this song is firmly in my top 5 of all time. What a pop tune. What an original band. Music is beautiful.
Recently discovered this band, you're right it's an incredibly perfect pop tune. And it's not even their best song!!!!
Blowtorch and Bottle Rocket (video version ) are even better!
emerckx53 No shame in that. This song couldn’t be more infectious.
I'm the same they just nail it
It's just so insane to me just how slept on this song is. I genuinely seriously believe this is among the greatest songs of all time.
Every part of this song would be amazing as a chorus in any other song. It is insane how catchy it is.
Buy Nothing Day
for sure :)
Came to share this around as a) an anti-black Friday anthem & b) a cracking tune
I bought nothing today😁👍
Do I win?🤣
No I won't
I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES SINCE IT CAME OUT AND IT IS STILL AS PERFECT AS THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO IT
Timeless superlative indie. An endorphin rush every time I hear it.

This song just makes me so happy
It can't be legal for a song to be this catchy, damn
This is everything. It's like dance meats shoegaze and noise pop.
this is pure joy.... i feel motivated to change my life after hearing this
Absolutely delightful song.
Feels like a very long wait for this new song......but well worth it....a fabulous track.
The Go! Team are back, God i'm so happy for this.....!!!
this is still one of my very favorite songs ever. it just gives me so much simple happiness.
Best Coast + The Go! Team = Magic!! to the nth degree!
SWEET JESUS I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG
I JUST CANT!
I'm so glad songs like these exist.
Every song from this band sounds like a jam! Ultimate party band.
As good OR BETTER than anything out there for a long long time!
LOVE The Go! Team!
TRUE STORY: I woke up in the middle of the night last night, got stuck in a thought-loop about what a genius Ian Parton is, and ended up laughing out loud in the dark over the pure joy of it all.
This song makes me wanna just jump up and down with sheer joy , like I was 16 not the 59 I actually am .Chorus should be on license to the NHS
I love this song, it has such a 60s - 70s feel.
Oh man this is lovely! Can you imagine if this kind of stuff were in the mainstream currently?
this song is crack cocaine. pure giddy euphoria condensed into three and a half amazing minutes.
best album of the year so far! And the best pop music to listen to around
The guitarist's joyous jump at 0:38 is as irresistible as the song.
これぞgo teamの真骨頂！ 最高にチアフル！ パーフェクト！！

Every time this song comes on shuffle I get obsessed with it all over again for like a week. Love it so much.
Love this song so much. One of the best chorus’s ever! 🤟🏼
Just heard this for the first time on R6M. Have a couple of their albums, but somehow this has passed me by🙄🙄🙄 Reminds me of Ash as well👌👌👌👌👌
Ian Parton is the Mozart of Indie Pop.
How come songs like this don't get to number 1?
I've heard this somewhere....can't recall, but now I have it and can't resist playing every five minutes! XD Nice!
this song makes me so happy, feel like going on a roadtrip!
This is exactly what it sounds like when you mix 90´s Britband Lush with classics like "500" and "Single Girl"! Thweinstrumental build up to the last chorus is just fantastic!
such an awesome song, i can't get enough of it
Somehow, this is the best The Go! Team's AND Cosentino's song
Best album of 2011!
Fantastico! Sonzaço tremendo!!! Que alegria seria se aparecesse 20 músicas assim por ano! What a joy it would appear like 20 songs a year!
this song is hypnotic, like a drug, very groovy
Masterpiece.
One of my favourite songs of all time!! Ultimate road trip song. After many years, I still have no idea why this has so few views.
Dave DB Because people like more Pewdiepie ? (/irony)
Probably because I just found out about it recently. :(
Dave DB lo fi is niche

Oh Yeah. This tune is guaranteed to make anyone feel young.

This has a chorus that leads into another chorus.

this song is hypnotic, like a drug. very goovey
Happy buy nothing day!
SO good.
2:07
That is exactly the interlude I wanted to listen.
I totally get nostalgic listening to this, which is weird because it's not old.
The Go Team have a sound mixed between the pop of 60s and the soundtracks of movies of the 60s
Wonderful
Heard this in Australia 2010 , always brings back memories of where I was at , Childers Queensland ,
great song! and it reminds me slightly of the Clueless show intro ... quite '90s
c'est cool: exceptionnel! j'ai adoré! : )
beautiful~~
Near to perfection!
Love it.
Buy Nothing Day...
Yes! Great song for this black friday!
Girls rock!

I love this song! I've been trying to find the name of it since I first heard it on Q radio.
