Music Video of the Day: Like He Never by Biond (2019, dir by Greta “Gravity” Nash)


So, is this video a celebration of hanging out with friends or is it the final vision of a dying person whose life is flashing before their eyes.  I tend to assume it’s the latter but then again, you know that I always tend to lean towards the morbid when it comes to interpreting things.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Swim Far by Lara Snow (2019, dir by Lara Snow and Jonatan Harpak)


If you’ve seen previous Lara Snow videos like I Like Snow and Sometimes It’s Enough, than you might be surprised by the video for Swim Far.  On the basis of those previous videos, it was easy to think of Lara Snow as being an artist with a rather cold, almost vampiric aesthetic.  However, Swim Far presents us with a much more emotionally colorful and vibrant Lara Snow, one who is surrounded by flowers.  That said, the shadows and the surreal imagery are still there and we’re all the better for it.

According to an interview that Snow gave to When The Horn Blows, this video was shot in Tel Aviv and Geneva.

Music Video of the Day: Confused by Missions (2019, dir by Vidkidz)


A trippy music video is always a good way to start the day, isn’t it?

It’s always tempting to read too much into a video like this.  I just like the combination of impending doom and smiley faces.  I mean, who wouldn’t?

Music Video of the Day: Bad Boy by Carys (2019, dir by Travis Didluck)


This is a nicely atmospheric video.  A woman discovers that her man is cheating and, when he returns home from a tryst, he finds a message waiting for him.  The whole video covers an entire range of emotion, from the pain of betrayal to the empowerment that comes from refusing to just accept it.

“I am enough”

Hell yeah, Girl!

Enjoy!

Unless, of course, you’ve been bad, in which case you should probably fear for your life.

Music Video of the Day: Summers in Vegas by Lolo Zouaï (2019, dir by Lolo Zouaï and Tommy Nowels)


This is a nicely evocative video, I think.  Las Vegas is the quintessential American city, a celebration of commerce and hospitality that happens to be sitting out in the middle of an inhospitable desert.  Vegas could only have been founded in America and it’s only in America that it could have thrived to become the iconic city that it is today.

Of course, I should also mention that, whenever I see any clips of the Las Vegas strip, I automatically think about the movie Casino and the Ace Rothstein Dancers.  If I ever go to Vegas, I’m going to let Commissioner Pat Webb know that Sam “Ace” Rothstein has nothing to hide.

Music Video Of The Day: Summer Girl by HAIM (2019, dir by Paul Thomas Anderson)


What happened to summer this year?  Seriously, it’s just kind of flying by.  We’ve got August and then the first half of September and then it’s going to be Autumn again!  Get out there and enjoy yourselves while you still can!

Today’s music video of the day is all about summer.  It captures a few essential truths.  Number one, it’s fun to get undressed in public.  Number two, if you take off enough clothes while walking down the street, some dude with a saxophone will undoubtedly start following you.  What I like about this video is how everyone is both intrigued and annoyed by the saxophone player.  This is a video that just captures what it’s like to be young and have your entire future ahead of you.  It also captures the feeling of summer!

This video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who apparently has directed a few films as well.  No, not the Resident Evil films.  That’s a different Paul Anderson, all together.

Music Video of The Day: Love Is A Parasite by Blanck Mass (2019, dir by Craig Murray)


Blanck Mass is back with another unsettling video!

(That’s not a surprise.  Blanck Mass kinda specializes in being unsettling.)

This video, which features a retro tv studio going crazy over some sexy apples, feels like a bit of an homage to the early work of David Cronenberg.  Keep your eyes open and you’ll even spot a paperback novelization of Videodrome.  And, of course, just the idea of loving being a parasite is a very Cronenbergian concept.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Got You by Amyl and the Sniffers (2019, dir by ????)


Welcome to the month of August!

I like today’s music video of the day because it has a perverse retro feel to it.  Like if you go to a cabin in the woods and find a dusty old VHS tape sitting in the back of a cubbyhole, this is probably what you would see after watching the tape.  And then I assume that little girl from The Ring would show up.

Enjoy!
