Music Video of the Day: Little Of Your Love by Haim (2017, dir by Paul Thomas Anderson)

As we approach Valentine’s Day, this music video from Haim feels appropriate.  Back in the day, Paul Thomas Anderson directed video-after-video of the Haim sisters walking around Los Angeles and it was the greatest thing ever.

Enjoy!

 

Music Video of the Day: With You by Jessica Simpson (2003, dir by Elliott Lester)

Today’s music video features Jessica Simpson, back in happier days.  This was the last video she made with Nick Lachey.  (They would get divorced three years later.)  It’s essentially just an advertisement for the reality show that was their life.  When Jessica and Nick split up, a generation stopped believing in love.  They probably should have stopped believing in reality television instead.

Jessica Simpson and I went to the same high school, though Jessica had dropped out and moved to California long before I started going there.  Still, I had some teachers who remembered her as being a nice person.

It’s Britney!

Filmed at Long Island bar, this video is here to welcome us to Super Bowl Sunday!  Pretty soon, some people will be watching the game and some people will be watching the commercials and, here at the Shattered Lens, we’ll be posting any trailers that drop during the big game.  It’s a part of our tradition!

For now, though, let’s love rock and roll.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Can I Go Now? by Jennifer Love Hewitt (2003, dir by Liz Friedlander)

Don’t mess with Jennifer Love Hewitt!

I’ve always liked Jennifer Love Hewitt, largely because we’re both Texas girls, we both have what others seem to consider to be an unusual sense of humor, and I imagine that we both share the same struggle when it comes to having to remind men that our eyes are up here.  Of course, for all that we have in common, a huge difference between the two of us is that Jennifer Love Hewitt can actually sing whereas I can barely carry a tune.

Can I Go Now? was the second single to be released from her 2003 album, BareNaked.  In the video, Jennifer fights with her boyfriend, she leaves her boyfriend, she returns to her boyfriend, she leaves her boyfriend …. it’s a never-ending cycle of coming and going so I guess the answer to the question is that you can really never leave.  At one point, she joins her boyfriend in the shower and he kind of gets weird about it.  I’m not really sure what to make of this guy.  I would definitely leave and not return until he found a place that had a wall between the kitchen and the living room.

Music Video of the Day: We Have All The Time In The World, performed by Tim Beveridge with his Neophonic Orchestra (2009, dir by ????)

What a romantic song. Of course, this was originally heard in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It turned out that James Bond and Tracy didn’t have all the time in the world.

Enjoy!
