Music Video of the Day: What Doesn’t Kill You by Jake Bugg (2013, dir by Andrew Douglas)


Today, we have a simple video for a pretty good song.  Of course, to say this video is simple is hardly a complaint.  The simplicity works wonderfully.

Check out the previous Jake Bugg video that I shared on this site by clicking here.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Time Is Running Out by Muse (2003, dir by John Hillcoat)


This video has kind of a nice Dr. Strangelove feel to it, which I like.  That said, it was released 15 years ago so hopefully, time is not still running out.  At the very least, let’s hope everyone was too busy dancing to launch any missiles.

It was directed by John Hillcoat, who would later direct films like Lawless, The Road, and The Proposition, along with an episode of Black Mirror.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: You Make Me by Avicii (2013, dir by Sebastian Ringler)


I’ve spent the entire weekend listening to Avicii.  At some point, I know I’m going to listen to someone else but I’m just not ready to do so yet.

Anyway, this is a fun video.  As a general rule, the longer a video focuses on people skating, the better the video is going to be.  This one has dancing, fighting, and romance.  It’s got a bit of a Scott Pilgrim vs. The World feel to it.

Enjoy!

Music Video: Feeling Good by Avicii (2015, dir by ????)


Today’s video is for Avicii’s Feeling Good.  It’s a great video from a talent who was taken from us far too early.  I’ve been listening to Avicii nonstop ever since Friday afternoon and I imagine that I’ll continue to do so for many days to come.

Enjoy!

 

Music Video of the Day: Because I Got High (Positive Remix) by Afroman (2014, dir by Morgan Freed and Brian Schopfel)


This was kind of an obvious pick for today’s music video of the day.  It was either this or share the “faster!  faster!” clip from Reefer Madness again…

Enjoy!

Music Video of The Day: Mr. Brightside by the Killers (2004, dir by Sophie Muller)


Yesterday, in honor of Eric Roberts’s birthday, I shared the video for The Killers’s Miss Atomic Bomb.

Today, I’m sharing the video for Mr. Brightside, which is a bit of a prequel to Miss Atomic Bomb.  Eric Roberts and Izabella Miko are featured in both videos.  The shared theme of the two videos seems to be that Brandon Flowers simply cannot compete with Eric Roberts.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Miss Atomic Bomb by The Killers (2012, dir by Warren Fu)


Today is Eric Roberts’s birthday!

With that in mind, it just seems like the obvious choice to pick the video for Miss Atomic Bomb by the Killers for today’s music video of the day.  This video features not only a live action Eric Roberts but an animated version as well!

Eric Roberts appears to be playing some sort of white-suited ghost who specializes in getting women to fall in love with him.  The Miss Atomic Bomb of the video is played by Izabella Miko.

This video was directed by Warren Fu, who has also done videos for … well, almost everyone who matters.  Among his other directing credits: Hands by The Ting Tings, Derezzed and Lose Yourself to Dance by Daft Punk, Clearest Blue by Chvrches, and, most recently, Rose-Colored Boy by Paramore.

Here’s wishing a happy birthday to Eric Roberts and I hope all of you … enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Battle Without Honor or Humanity by Tomoyasu Hotei (2004, dir by ????)


I’m still feeling a little under the weather so I decided to pick a music video for today that pretty much speaks for itself.  As you can probably guess from just watching, this video for Tomoyasu Hotei’s Battle Without Honor or Humanity was released to coincide with the release of the Kill Bill soundtrack.

Though most listeners immediately associate this song with Kill Bill, it was actually originally written for and used in another film, 2000’s New Battles Without Honor or Humanity.  As any quick perusal of YouTube will show you, this is not only one of Hotei’s most popular songs but also one that exists in several different version.  The video above last for 3 and a half minutes.  The version of the song on the Kill Bill soundtrack is a minute shorter.  I’ve come across versions on YouTube that last anywhere from 6 to 15 minutes.  Regardless which version you use, Battle Without Honor or Humanity is a good stripper song.  Just saying.

This is also a song that’s fun to listen to while you’re driving, unless of course you live in a city with really bad traffic and are prone to road rage.  If that’s the case, you might want to listen to something a little bit more calming.

Anyway, regardless of how good or bad your morning commute may be, enjoy!

 

 

 

Music Video Of The Day: Tomorrow (Give Into The Night) by Dada Life (2010, dir by Tara McDonald)


Sorry, everyone.  As I sit here writing this latest music video of the day post, I’m suddenly feeling a bit ill.  I’m not sure if it’s just allergies or if I’m legitimately getting sick.  It’s probably a combination of the two.  It’s been a very windy day, which is always bad for allergies.  It’s also been an unusually cold day, which is strange for Texas in April.

So, anyway, I’m just going to offer up this video of Dada Life performing at Tommorowland in 2010 and I’m going to invite you to …. enjoy!
