Music Video of the Day: The World Is Not Enough by Garbage (1999, dir by Philipp Stölzl)


Today’s music video of the day is the theme song for a James Bond film.  The video features a robot version of Shirley Manson, being built so that it  can replace the real Shirley and blow up a theater in Chicago.  This is a video that, if it were released today, I imagine would be quite controversial and people on twitter would be arguing about whether or not the video was glamorizing terrorism and AI.  However, when viewed in the proper context, this video is actually a clever tribute to the Bond films.  The fact that the video takes place in 1964 only adds to the homage as Sean Connery’s Bond epitomized the coolness of the early 60s.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Still Alive by Demi Lovato (2023, dir by Jensen Noen)


Today’s music video of the day features Demi Lovato living every film lover’s dream.

Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get walk through the streets like a super stylish Bond villain and get to attend a private screening with a select group of your only slightly less stylish friends?  This video features Demi Lovato living the type of life that most people can only dream about.  That’s what makes it a good music video.  A music video should always bring our dreams to life.

Enjoy!
