Music Video Of The Day: What’s Good (The Thesis) by Lou Reed (1992, dir by Tarsem Singh)


This song originally appeared in the 1991 Wim Wenders film, Until The End of the World.

Tarsem Singh also directed The Cell, that film in which Jennifer Lopez goes into the mind of a serial killer.  That’s a film that I’ve been meaning to review for a while, even though I don’t remember caring much for it the last time that I watched it.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: It’s Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries by Carly Rae Jepsen (2020, dir by Josh Forbes)


Usually, I’m the one who cries on Christmas.  This is the month that I allow myself to get sentimental and everything.  Seeing my presents.  Getting my presents.  Unwrapping my presents.  Trying my presents on.  Showing my presents off.  Seriously, it touches my heart every time.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses (1981)


This is apparently not the official video for The Waitress’s Christmas Wrapping.  Instead, it’s a video that someone else put together using other clips of the band.  I haven’t been able to find an official version so there might not be one.  Or, at the very least, if there is one, it does not appear to be on YouTube.  (If I’m wrong, let me know.)

Anyway, I like the song and tis the season.  Interestingly enough, it’s often missed that the song is more about the chaos of the season than the joy of it.

Enjoy!

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: Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel (1973, dir by ????)


Well, we all know this song, don’t we?

Apparently, this song was inspired by a music industry cocktail party that the band attended.  It was also apparently inspired by Bob Dylan’s feelings towards the industry, though Dylan was not involved in recording or performing the song.

As for the video, what’s interesting is how literally it interprets the song.  Seriously, the poor guy really is stuck in the middle and he really does have clowns and jokers to either side of him!

Nobody loses an ear in this video.  That would come later….

It’s Steve Buscemi’s birthday so it just feels like the right time to share something from one of his best films.

Enjoy!
