Music Video of the Day: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer by Postmodern Jukebox (2024, dir by Sunny Holiday)


Wow, this song is dark!  I should also mention that it was written by both a Texan and a Dallasite so it’s from my part of the world!

I like Postmodern Jukebox.  Too bad about grandma.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Weight of Desire by Tennis (2025, dir by BLDG Blossom Liu and Danny Gray)


Today’s music video of the day has a weird vibe that I like.  Watching  it, I found myself thinking about those weird cults that would form communes in the wild and everyone would have the same hairstyle and every night would end with a sing along around the campfire.  Admittedly, I’m not sure if these cults actually exist but I always imagine they’re out there somewhere.  Personally, I would dread running into them.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: The Hunt by Jerry Goldsmith


The late composer Jerry Goldsmith was born 96 years ago today.  Over the course of his long career, he composed many classic film scores.  He was nominated for 18 Oscars and won for his score for The Omen.

Today’s song of the day comes from Goldsmith’s score for 1968’s Planet of the Apes!  Listen to this and try not visualize Charlton Heston being chased by a bunch of gorillas on horseback.

Song of the Day: The Girl Who Invented Rock and Roll by Mamie Van Doren


Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 94th birthday to actress and singer, Mamie Van Doren!  Here she is performing today’s song of the day, The Girl Who Invented Rock and Roll! 

This scene is from 1958’s Teacher’s Pet.

 

Music Video Of The Day: you’re like me by Shower Curtain (2024, dir by ????)


Today’s music video of the day is a rather moody piece of nightlife from Shower Curtain.  Watching this video really took me back to the day when they was nothing better than going out at one in the morning and being jaded.

Enjoy!
