Today seems like a good day to start things off with a music video from Muse. The video for Panic Station was shot while the band was in Japan for their 2nd Law World Tour. It’s nice to see the lads having a good time and being reminded that they don’t spend all of their time riding around in the back of pickup trucks and encouraging the teddy bears to rise up and destroy the city.
Enjoy!
When I watch this video, I get the feeling that Muse has been abducted by aliens and they’re being forced to perform in a sort of space casino. That’s the feeling I get from the production design and just the general look of the band. And really, when you think about it, it makes sense. If I was an alien looking for entertainment, I would definitely beam up Muse.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
It’s always a good time for Muse, don’t you think?
That is Lauren Wasser in the lead role.
Enjoy!
Happy birthday, Erin Nicole!
On Wednesday, everyone on twitter was sharing this picture of a black hole.
That made me think of this song.
Enjoy!
This video has kind of a nice Dr. Strangelove feel to it, which I like. That said, it was released 15 years ago so hopefully, time is not still running out. At the very least, let’s hope everyone was too busy dancing to launch any missiles.
It was directed by John Hillcoat, who would later direct films like Lawless, The Road, and The Proposition, along with an episode of Black Mirror.
Enjoy!
What happens if you mash together every single European grindhouse film ever made and then get Muse to provide the soundtrack?
You end up with the video for Knights of Cydonia.
The fun here, of course, is identifying all of the films that are referenced in this video. Obviously, there’s a lot of Sergio Leone there. There’s also some karate action and a Planet of the Apes reference. Whenever the cowboys shoot their laser guns, I’m reminded of one of Lucio Fulci’s post-apocalyptic films.
Enjoy!
Hi, everyone! Lisa here with today’s music video of the day!
Yes, yes, I’m late. Sorry, I fell asleep last night before I got a chance to set up today’s music video of the day. Then, when I woke up, I was out the front door and driving down Central Expressway before I realized that I’d forgotten to put in my contacts. Seriously, I was totally blind and driving down the busiest, most dangerous highway in Dallas.
And yet, I survived!
So, in order to celebrate this momentous occasion, how about a music video from one of my favorite bands? This is Uprising by Muse. It seems to go with the general tenor of the times. Everyone’s convinced they’re a revolutionary. even if they’re just some rando on twitter. Things are blowing, if only in our neighbor’s dreams.
The bit with the teddy bears? That’s a Ghostbusters tribute.
Enjoy!
Hi, everyone!
I have to admit that one reason why I picked this video for today’s music video of the day is because there’s really not a whole much to say about it. I’m running a bit behind tonight, which tends to happen during the holidays. I still haven’t even watched the latest episode of The Walking Dead! So, by necessity, I have to pick a video that’s fairly straight-forward.
I also have to admit that this is definitely a case where I like the song a lot more than video. Along with Jakalope, Coldplay, The Chemical Brothers, and Sleigh Bells, Muse is one of my go-to bands whenever I need writing music. I’ll be listening to Muse tonight as I try to get caught up. I love this song but the video hurts my eyes. The infrared filter is effective when used sparingly but, after five minutes of it, my eyes start to water.
Enjoy!
