Today’s music video of the day is a recent one from Kedr Livanskiy. I always assume that all of Kedr Livanskiy’s videos either deal with vampires or takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. This one seems to definitely take place in a world where, much as in Argento’s Tenebrae and Rollin’s Night of the Hunted, there are now far fewer people.
Enjoy!
Here’s the latest from Russia’s Kedr Livanskiy. Watching this video makes me want to go to Europe and have fun on a train. It’s been a while.
Enjoy!
Yay! Kedr Livanskiy is back!
This video appears to be a nicely twisted take on Sleeping Beauty. Admittedly, I do seem to ascribe a supernatural theme to every Kedr Livanskiy film that I see. Usually, I’m assume that the videos are about vampires, just because Kedr Livanskiy’s surreal music often puts me in the mood for a Jean Rollin film. This time, however, I’m pretty sure that there aren’t any vampires in this video. Instead, there’s just a lot of sleeping, dreaming, and running.
Enjoy!
It’s time to continue to my look back at 2018 by listing my ten favorite songs of the year. If you want to see an example of how varied our tastes are here at the Shattered Lens, compare my picks to Necromoonyeti’s picks for the top 20 albums of 2018.
See, that’s one thing that I like about this site. We’ve all got our own individual tastes!
Anyway, here are my picks. I’m going to post them now and then I’ll probably spend the rest of the week getting laughed at whenever I leave my office here at the Shattered Lens Bunker. But that’s okay! I love everyone!
2. Get Your Shirt by Underworld and Iggy Pop
3. Boom by Tiesto, Gucci Mane & Sevenn
4. Carribish by ADI
5. Like I Do by David Guetta, Martin Garrix & Brooks
6. There Was A Time by Kedr Livanskiy

(I have to be honest. This is one that I pretty much like exclusively because of the Degrassi-themed video.)

That’s it for music! Up next, either tonight or tomorrow, 10 good things I saw on television in 2018!
Lisa Looks Back At 2018:
Today is National Best Friends Day so I knew I would absolutely have to share something from Kedr Livanskiy. My best friend Evelyn introduced me to Kedr Livanskiy’s music a few years ago and she quickly became a favorite of ours.
Evelyn and I absolutely love this wonderfully atmospheric song and video. As usual, one of us thinks that this song is about being young and free in Russia while the other thinks that it’s about young vampires who are learning how to deal with the ennui of being immortal. Try to guess who believes what! It’s fun!
Enjoy!
(And remember to hug your best friend today!)
As Kedr Livanskiy videos tend to do for me, this one brings back a lot of memories. The only thing better than being young and feeling like you can do anything is surviving to talk about it later.
My best friend Evelyn and I absolutely love Kedr Livanskiy, though we always seem to disagree about what the videos are about. She thinks this video is just about having a good time in Russia. I think it’s about vampires. Of course, I assume that almost every video that I see is about vampires. Still, there are moments where this video has an undeniable Jean Rollin feel to it.
Anyway, regardless of whether you think it’s about vampires or not, enjoy!
Much like yesterday’s video, this is another video on which me and Evelyn disagree. She thinks that it’s about being young and free in Russia. I think it’s about vampires.
Enjoy!
My friend Evelyn and I have been debating whether or not this video is supposed to be about vampires or not. Her argument is that it’s obviously meant to be about being young and celebrating life. My argument is that the video reminds me a lot of Jean Rollin’s Two Orphan Vampires so obviously, the video must be about vampires as well.
Maybe we’re both right!
Who knows?
Anyway, enjoy!
