Music Video of the Day: Don’t You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia (2012, dir by Christian Larson)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

For today’s music video of the day, we have Swedish House Mafia’s Don’t You Worry Child.  This was their 6th and, to date, final single.

(I say “to date” because some of us continue to hope that they’ll eventually get back together for more than just a one-night appearance at the Ultra Music Festival.)

This video was shot during the group’s final performance in the UK, at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.

Enjoy!

I have to say thank you to Evelyn Spurlock for recommending this video to me!

This song is performed by Etan Salomon, who is also the lead vocalist of Tetish.

The animation (and, I’m going to guess, the direction) is credited to Glendon and Isabella, who are credited with directing over 11 other music videos as well.

Enjoy!

One Hit Wonders #10: “Summertime Blues” by Blue Cheer (Philips Records 1968)

Direct from Haight-Ashbury, psychedelic hard rockers Blue Cheer ushered in the Age of Heavy Metal with “Summertime Blues”, reaching #14 on the Billboard charts in 1968 (Crank It Up LOUD!):

Singer/bassist Dickie Peterson, who lived on San Francisco’s Haight Street during the “Summer of Love” days, originally formed the band as a five-piece group, but stripped down to the power trio model popularized by Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, with Leigh Stephens on guitar and Paul Whaley on drums. Blue Cheer’s hair was longer, and their sound more ear-splitting, than anyone around, and the band’s thundering heavy metal noise made both the single and their debut album “Vincebus Eruptum” into classics of early metal then and collector’s items today.

Blue Cheer’s classic lineup: Dickie Peterson, Leigh Stephens, and Paul Whaley

The band went through numerous personnel changes before breaking up in 1970. Peterson reformed the group in the 80’s…

I don’t really have much to say about this video, other than it’s Swedish House Mafia so I love it.  If it makes you want to dance, then it’s done its job.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Save The World by Swedish House Mafia (2011, dir by Jon Watts)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Long before Jon Watts directed Spider-Man: Homecoming, he directed another film about some unlikely super heroes.  The video for Swedish House Mafia’s Save The World shows us that the world is a dangerous place but it also encourages us to fear not.  The dogs are here!

Normally, I’m not really a dog person but I make an exception for the dogs in this video.  To be honest, cats probably wouldn’t make very good superheroes.  For one thing, all the villains would have to do would be schedule their nefarious schemes for whenever Supercat is taking a nap.  Add to that, cats are pretty self-centered.  That’s one reason why I love them but, at the same time, it’s doubtful they’d go out of their way to save a bunch of strangers.

Enjoy!
