Today’s very atmospheric music video of the day comes to us from Spain. Watching this video, ask yourself how many movies, books, and songs have been inspired by the life and crimes of Elisabeth Bathory. She may have been executed but it appears she still achieved the macabre immortality that she craved.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day is the moody and hypnotic offering from Bess Atwell.

How did Milton Berle come to appear in a music video with one of the bands that epitomized 80s hair metal? It probably had something to do with Ratt being managed by his nephew, Marshall Berle. Milton was not only helping out family but letting the 80s kids know that he knew where they coming from. In this video, he appears as both the patriarch and the matriarch of a wealthy family, a call-back to his days on Texaco Star Theater. Presumably Milton’s cameo in this video led to a better result than the Saturday Night Live hosting gig that led to Milton Berle becoming one of the first people to ever be banned from appearing on the show.
The woman who goes up to the attic is played by Lisa Dean, who later appeared in Michael Jackson’s video for Dirty Diana.
This was one of Ratt’s biggest hits. The band has broken up and re-formed many times over the years but, as of now, they appear to be on an indefinite hiatus.

Today’s music video of the day is this trippy and dream-like anthem from Jessica Pratt. Listen to it, watch it, and consider your own dream-life.

This is a fun video and I think we need more fun in the world.
The robot in the video was provided by Boston Dynamics and was nicknamed “Nugget” by Perry. (The robot’s actual name was Spot. If I ever get a robot, I’m naming it Fritz after director Fritz Lang.) The video itself premiered on ESPN because …. well, why not? Where else was it going to premiere? Rob Dyrdek’s not in the video so it’s not like it could have premiered on MTV or any of its affiliated stations. This was the first music video to ever premiere live on ESPN and, as far as I can tell, it might also be the only one. There’s nothing wrong with being unique.
Enjoy!
Happy Mardi Gras to all!
What can I say about this video other than it’s definitely authentic? There’s a lot of people who will be able to relate to every word of this song. This guy actually reminds me of more than a few of my cousins. The fact that the song features more than a little Cajun French only contributes to the authenticity.
In many ways the epitome of a Nine Inch Nails song, Burn was recorded for the Natural Born Killers soundtrack and was released as a promotional single at the same time that the movie was playing in theaters. This music video, directed by Hank Corwin and Trent Reznor, was originally included on the VHS release of Natural Born Killers.
The video uses many of the same techniques that Oliver Stone used in the controversial film, having Reznor perform in front of a projection screen that shows stock footage and scenes from the film.
Director Hank Corwin is best known as a film editor. (He was the editor on Natural Born Killers.) He is a three-time Oscar nominee for his work on The Big Short, Vice, and Don’t Look Up.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This is a national holiday, as my old edition of Madden used to put it. Playing Madden, I discovered that the way to get to and win the Super Bowl was to always play with difficulty set to rookie. One time, in Franchise Mode, my team won 30 straight Super Bowls. And yet none of the players involved in setting that amazing record made it into the Hall of Fame.
As far as I can tell, no one in this video will be playing in this year’s Super Bowl.
Enjoy!
This is a lovely video and I’m happy to feature it as today’s music video of the day. Everyone’s been a lonely dancer at some point in their life and this video has a 70s, working class hero vibe to it that I really appreciate.
Enjoy!
Oh God, I know the feeling. Especially as of late. Kacey has a way of capturing it all and this video certainly does capture that being buried alive, slowly suffocating sensation that comes from being overwhelmed to the point you wish you could just vanish.
Enjoy!
