Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Ever since it was first released and this video first aired on MTV, Jump Around has been one of the unofficial anthems of St. Patrick’s Day. The video was so popular that many people continue to associate both the song and House of Pain with Boston’s Irish community, despite the fact that the band was from Los Angeles and only two members were of Irish descent.
All together now: “I came to get down, I came to get down, jump around!”

Today’s music video of the day features two-time Oscar nominee, Kate Hudson! A lot of people have been a little snarky about Kate’s nomination for Song Sung Blue. Personally, I think her performance was great and the nomination was more than deserved. I wish her all the best of luck tonight!

This video was directed by the man who edited the controversial 1983 film, Angst. This video was also controversial and was banned in New Zealand for being too violent. Compared to what I see whenever I scroll through my twitter timeline, this video seems incredibly tame (albeit entertaining) today.
Enjoy!
Originally, I thought this song was about possums. Possums are wonderful creatures by the way, even if they do kind of smell bad. They don’t get rabies, they eat tics and roaches, and they’re basically very shy and timid. And they’re severely myopic!
Unfortunately, this song is not about Possums. Instead, the song was named after Possum Kingdom Lake, which is a real lake down here in Texas.
For a while, I thought it was about a vampire. Then I had my best friend Evelyn listen to it and she thought it was about a serial killer. We were both wrong. According to the lead singer of the Toadies, the song was actually about a ghost who was inviting someone to join him in the netherworld.
This video was shot in Dallas. Woo hoo! Overall, it’s a good song, though the “so help me, Jesus” stuff feels a bit forced. And it’s a good video, full of atmosphere and menace. It’s a perfect video for the second Friday the 13th of 2026!

Don’t Change is from INXS’s third album, Shabooh Shoobah. Though INXS had been around for a while and had found success in their native Australia,, Don’t Change is often described as the song that introduced the band to the rest of the world.
This video was filmed in an airport hangar and was directed by Scott Hicks, who would later go on to direct Geoffrey Rush to his first Oscar in 1996’s Shine.

If you were wondering what Jena Malone has been up to, she’s got a solo album coming out. It’s called Flowers For Men and it will be released on May 8th. Here’s the music video for her first single, Barstow.

I love mood music.

Who doesn’t want to drive out to the desert and set things on fire?

As I’ve mentioned on this site before, I was introduced to the music of Adi Ulmansky by my best friend, Evelyn, and she quickly became one of my favorite artists. This is an acoustic version of ADI’s song, Bombs Away, which was filmed for and by Tel Aviv TV.
Enjoy!
