Enjoy the 4th of July!
Enjoy the 4th of July!
Apparently, today is American Redneck Day. That’s one of those holidays that I didn’t even know existed until I came across it on a fun little site called Checkiday.
Now, myself, I’m not a redneck. Neither is Erin. But we’ve got enough rednecks in our family that I think we’ve both earned the right to take off work and celebrate this holiday. I’m not sure how exactly one celebrates American Redneck Day, to be honest. I’ll probably listen to All Summer Long once or twice and maybe I’ll watch some YouTube videos of people shooting beer cans. That should be fun.
Anyway, this video is called Redneck Yacht Club and it really makes me want to go up to the lake this weekend.
Enjoy!
If you want to feel old, consider that this video is nearly 10 years old!
If you want to make those of us at the Shattered Lens Bunker feel really old, remind us that this song came out that same year that this site started!
This video features dancer Mori Koichiro and was filmed in Tokyo.
Enjoy!
Happy Canada Day!
For Magic, director Jonas Akerlund filmed a deliriously evocative homage to silent cinema, starring Zhang Ziyi and, in a dual role, Chris Martin.
Enjoy!
When I watch this video, I immediately think of despair.
The sleazy motels. The empty swimming pools. The landscape of endless emptiness. It’s all very American and yet it’s also a world that’s inspired some of the greatest American films ever made. Just look at some of the shots and tell me that you don’t see the spirits of Harry Dean Stanton and Dennis Hopper hanging around in the background. There’s a beauty in the ugliness of it all.
Enjoy!
I imagine I’ll be up and listening to this song at 5 in the morning. As for the video, I always love these sort of post-apocalyptic warehouse-style music videos.
Enjoy!
Earlier today, on a whim, I decided to do a YouTube search for any songs titled “Lisa.”
This was the first one that came up. Other than what I saw in that Runaways movies, I have to admit that I don’t really know anything about Lita Ford (and, to honest, I can’t even remember if her character had more than 6 lines in that film). According to Songfacts, Ford wrote this song in honor of her mother, who was dying of cancer. This is one of those songs where you can literally feel the heart beating underneath the lyrics.
As for the video, it’s pretty simple but there’s nothing wrong with that.
Enjoy!
It’s summer so let’s celebrate with a summer video!
This video is not only seasonally appropriate but it was also filmed in Italy!
Enjoy!
After writing 24 hours worth of material for World UFO Day, I’m a little bit exhausted so I’m offering this energetic video up without comment.
Enjoy!
