On today, what would have been Angelo Badalamenti’s birthday, there’s little question as to what our song of the day should be.

Janis Joplin would have been 83 years old today. Here she is, singing about cars.
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!
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!
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.
Here at TSL, we’re all about doing things our own way.
Enjoy!
It’s always kind of nice when the old folks get to rock. I also appreciate any group that can poke fun at itself. That’s actually a pretty rare thing nowadays.
Enjoy!
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.
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!
Someone get that man out of the hourglass! Seriously, it’s going to be hard to breathe in or out underneath all that sand.
I swear, the risks people take!
Enjoy!
