My friend Evelyn and I have been debating whether or not this video is supposed to be about vampires or not. Her argument is that it’s obviously meant to be about being young and celebrating life. My argument is that the video reminds me a lot of Jean Rollin’s Two Orphan Vampires so obviously, the video must be about vampires as well.
Maybe we’re both right!
Who knows?
Anyway, enjoy!
Ever since Evelyn (a.k.a. my best friend in the entire world) first introduced me to her music, I’ve always enjoy the reliably strange videos of Adi Ulmansky and this one features a black cat!
Enjoy!
I watched this video and I immediately thought of Twin Peaks: The Return.
Enjoy!
To date, this is the last music video to have been directed by Sofia Coppola. Sofia, of course, is married to the lead singer of Phoenix, Thomas Mars.
Enjoy!

Sofia Coppola Music Videos:
Today’s music video of the day is the fourth video to be directed by Sofia Coppola. Distinguished by the black-and-white cinematography of Lance Acord (who was also the cinematographer for Lost In Translation) and the choreography of Robin Conrad, this video may be best known for Kate Moss pole dancing but it’s atmosphere of romanticized ennui will be familiar to anyone who has seen any of Coppola’s films.
(As well, pole dancing would also be prominently featured in Coppola’s later film, Somewhere.)
As for the song, it actually has a pretty long history. It was originally written in the early 60s by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It was first recorded in 1962 by Tommy Hunt but the first performer to actually find success with the song was Dusty Springfield in 1964. It was subsequently covered by Dionne Warwick and Marcia Hines before The White Stripes released their version in 2003.
Enjoy!
Sofia Coppola Music Videos:
Today’s music video is the video for AIR’s Playground Love.
This song was recorded as a part of AIR’s score for Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides. The video, which is largely made up of footage from the film, along with singing wad of chewing gum, is credited as having been directed by both Sofia and Roman Coppola.
(While not as well-known as his sister, Roman Coppola is a frequent collaborator with Wes Anderson and he also directed an excellent film called CQ.)
Enjoy!
Sofia Coppola Music Videos:
Since yesterday’s music video of the day was the first music video to be directed by Sofia Coppola, it only makes sense that today’s video should be the second music video directed by Sofia Coppola.
This video features a giraffe, a pickup truck, and Wayne Coyne. What more could you want!?
Enjoy!
Happy birthday, Sofia Coppola!
Today’s music video of the day is the first music video to have been directed by Sofia Coppola. In fact, this may be her first directorial credit. While the song itself is a bit generic, the video is pure Sofia Coppola. Watching it, it’s hard not to see the same vision that, a few years later, would give us The Virgin Suicides, Somewhere, and The Bling Ring. This video was filmed at the Coppola vineyard in Rutherford, California.
Interesting to note that the film’s editor was Spike Jonze, who would later marry Coppola in 1999 (they would get divorced in 2003) and who is thought to have been the inspiration for Giovanni Ribisi’s character in Lost In Translation.
Enjoy!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! I’m still sick so rest assured that, whatever you do today, you’ll be having more fun than me!
Enjoy!
