Music Video Of The Day: Good Intentions by Magdalena Bay (2019, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s been said that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and perhaps that’s true.  Actually, I’m totally sure that’s true.  That’s one reason why I don’t ever assign any sort of moral judgment to my intentions.  I just intend and hopefully, things work out.

Anyway, that doesn’t have much to do with this video, which is actually kinda trippy and hypnotic.  What would you do if a brain ever floated near you.  I’d probably freak out a little.  Brains are very strange looking and it kind of disturbs me that apparently, everything about us is collected in something that looks like an alien.  For that reason, I’m definitely happy that people have both heads and skulls because really, you don’t want to see anyone’s brain.  That would just be disturbing.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Paranoid by FARR (2019, dir by Roméo, Max Junk & Justin Bretter)

The main character in this video has good reason to be paranoid because seriously, real life is just kicking his ass.  Maybe he should have blown off that interview and taken those boxing lessons….

Or maybe, in another reality, that’s what he did.  Maybe the two realities are becoming one and our unfortunate protagonist is having to both go to an interview and a boxing lesson at the same time.  It’s totally possible.  Universes collide all the time.

Anyway, this is a good video, a paranoid film for paranoid times.  Let’s be sure to give some deserved credit to Max Wilbur, who gets beaten up with panache and who gives a very good underdog performance in this video.  You can’t help but hope that things work out for him.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: 2099 by Charli XCX featuring Troye Sivan (2019, dir by Bradley and Pablo)

I don’t swim and I have a morbid fear of drowning but I still absolutely love jet skis.  I’ve only been on one a handful of times and every time I was the passenger as opposed to the driver but still, it was a blast.  Of course, I was scared senseless the whole time but still.  It’s kind of like riding a motorcycle, except you’re in the water and you can pretend like you’re in a movie or something.  As this video shows, jet skis are very cinematic.

Enjoy!

 

Music Video of the Day: Anxiety by Chastity (2019, dir by Justin Singer and Brandon Williams)

When you’ve got three ghosts following you around on a bicycle, it’s going to make you a little anxious.

Actually, in all seriousness, I’m sure everyone can relate to this video.  We all have our ghosts following us.

Music Video Of The Day: You Belong With Me by Anna Ternheim (2019, dir by Elle Kunnos de Voss)

So, this video is kinda brilliant both visually and musically.  In fact, this might be the first video that I’ve seen this year that I’ve enjoyed as much as I enjoyed the video for UPSAHL’s Drugs.  This video is a riddle and an enigma.  It’s like a dream of dark and disturbing things, with just enough wit to keep you watching.

Sit back and allow the mood to take you away.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: Accident by Jenny Hval (2019, dir by Zia Anger)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

The woman in the video is actually the mother of director Zia Anger, which adds a whole new layer to this video.  This is a video that’s about …. well, everything.  What does it mean to be a woman?  What does it mean to be a mother?  What does it mean to be an accident or a quirk of fate?

Plus, it’s trippy!  That’s always a good thing.

Enjoy!
