Music Video of the Day: Wrecked by Imagine Dragons (2021, dir by Matt Eastin)

Posted on July 20, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s music video of the day is the latest from Imagine Dragons. He’s wrecked because his relationship didn’t work out. At least he’s got a nice beach to think about it on. I can’t imagine anything worse than being depressed some place that isn’t photogenic.

This video was at least partially filmed at Caesar’s Palace. They even got a special thank you.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Monster by Meg Myers (2011, dir by A.P. Fischer)

Posted on July 18, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Is Meg Myers singing about killing a person or about killing an emotion? I think you can view the song and the video either way. The video is wonderfully atmospheric and, yes, the underwater scenes totally freak me out. Meg Myers is an artist who definitely deserves to be better known.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Cuarto de la Banda by The Sexican (2021, dir by ????)

Posted on July 17, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

This music video pays tribute to Bob Fosse and specifically, his work on Sweet Charity. If you’ve seen Sweet Charity than you will immediately be impressed by what a good job this video does in paying homage to it.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: So May We Start, performed by Sparks, Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, and Simon Helberg (2021, dir by Leos Carax)

This is from Annette, which made quite a splash at Cannes last week and which will be released on Prime later this year. As for Cannes, it’s got a few more days to go!

Music Video of the Day: Blue Monday, perforemd by Orkestra Obsolete (2016, dir by ????)

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

This is a cover of the famous New Order song, performed on 1930s instruments by Orkestra Obsolete. It’s mysterious and haunting, as these things should be. One almost gets the feeling that this could have been lifted from a new before seen sequel to Eyes Wide Shut.

Enjoy the mystery!

Music Video of the Day: Piece of Work by Loren Gray (2021, dir by Daniel Duran)

Posted on July 13, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Some people might be tempted to say that this is a somewhat shallow video but I would argue that it’s actually a very clever parody. As soon as I saw that the garage had a disco ball, I understood exactly what I was dealing with. That said, as I watched the video, I also assumed that Loren Gray is actually the head of a secret organization of international car thieves.

Enjoy!
