Music Video of the Day: We’ve Got It Goin’ On by Backstreet Boys (1995, dir. by Lionel C. Martin)


Today’s music video day is not just a Backstreet Boys video.  It’s also the very first video that the Backstreet Boys ever made and it’s for their very first single!  Just look at how young everyone used to be.

The main theme of this video seems to be that the Backstreet Boys are terrible boyfriends but it doesn’t matter because they have got it going on!  Their real girlfriends play their video girlfriends in this video and Lou Pearlman, the creepy man behind all the good times, is in the video too.  My favorite Backstreet Boy was Brian.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Lines & Circles by O-Town (2016, Dir. by ????)


Do you remember O-Town?  They were the boy band that was formed for a reality television series.  Back in the day, Lisa and I watched every episode and we still thought the name stood for Orgasm Town until we realized the band was from Orlando.  Even thought they could actually sing, O-Town was still the boy band that made other boy bands seem tough.

O-Town may have been featured on Making The Band but they had nothing to do with Diddy.  (O-Town was the first season, before Diddy was a part of the program.)  The mastermind behind O-Town was Lou Pearlman, which isn’t much better but I don’t think Pearlman’s ever been accused of putting a hit out on anyone.

This music video was from O-Town’s 2016 comeback.  Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Ugly Heart by G.R.L. (2014, Dir. by Chris Marrs Piliero)


Do you remember G.R.L.?  They were the girl group that Robin Antin put together that was not the Pussycat Dolls.

This song is about a man who is beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside.  The members of G.R.L. tattoo “ugly” all over his face as way to let the world know.  They get arrested but they regret nothing, which they prove by turning the police station into a dance party.

Do not try this at home.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Coming Of Age by Cassandra Coleman (2025, Dir. by Miles Murphy)


At first, I didn’t think I was going to like this video because, at first, the song sounded like every other song that’s been released nowadays.  Sometimes, I feel like every up-and-coming female singer works with same committee of songwriters and every song ends up sounding the same as a result.  Luckily, around the two-minute mark, the song finally got interesting and it won me over.

The video was filmed in the country and it’s pretty to look at.  These are the type of locations that I love to visit with my camera to see if maybe I can capture some of that rural beauty before it goes away.  Going for a nice walk is something that I suggest to anyone who finds themselves away from the city.  Sometimes, you really do find some strikingly beautiful locations if you’re willing to look for them.  Here’s one of my favorite pictures, which I took at a country cemetery in Arkansas.  I was lucky enough to turn around just in time to see a deer making a visit.

Music Video of the Day: Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down (2025, Dir. by Ian Blair)


Don’t let the bastards get you down.  That’s something I tell myself every day.  Sometimes, it’s easier to remember than others but it’s something I believe in.

As for this video, it makes me want to grab my camera, hop in my car, drive out to the country, and take a lot of pictures.  The video is pure Americana, from Elvis to the bars to the song to the tattoos.

Enjoy!

Brad’s Song of the Day – “It Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube!


One of the great privileges of my life has been the opportunity to be a dad. This year, we also welcomed our first grandchild! It’s been wonderful. I’m one of those lucky, blessed guys who has been able to spend time with my kids and my dad. It’s been a good day.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there! I hope you’ve had a great day!

Also, happy 56th birthday, Ice Cube!

Music Video of the Day: CPR by Wet Leg (2025, dir by ????)


Jeff and I are on vacation for the next two week and I imagine it’ll be something like this, except with no bearded guys and maybe a nicer car.  That said, I love the dream-like feel of this video.  It’s like driving into another dimension.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter (2025, dir by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia)


Jeff and I start our first vacation of the year tomorrow and this video feels like a vacation video.  Hopefully, our vacation will feature less desert hitchhiking.

Enjoy!
