Song of the Day: Title Music From A Clockwork Orange by Wendy Carlos
Seeing as how today is Malcolm McDowell’s birthday, it only seems right that today’s song of the day should be one that was used in his best-known film.

Song of the Day: Superman March by John Williams
Since today is Superman Day, it only makes sense that today’s song of the day should John Williams’s rousing Superman March from 1978’s Superman. In this video from 2023, John Williams conducts the Saito Kinen Orchestra.
Music Video of the Day: In God’s Country by U2 (1987, directed by Barry Devlin)
This video is a reminder that the band that no one wants to admits to liking today actually used to really rock. In God’s Country was off of U2’s best album, The Joshua Tree. While the video still shows hints of the self-importance that would later come to define the band, the song itself is an absolute banger.
Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: …As the Crow Flies by Newsted (2001, directed by Leon Melas)

Music Video of the Day: Burning Like A Flame by Dokken (1987, directed by James Yukich)
In the 80s, a lot of so-called “hair metal” bands had videos that revolved around flames and firefighters. That is the risk you take with all of that hairspray.
This video was directed by James Yukich, who was one of the busiest video directors around. Yukich pretty much directed at least video for everyone who was anyone.
Enjoy!
