How do I know that 2019 is going to be a good year?
Because The Chemical Brothers have got a new album coming out! No Geography, their 9th studio album, is set to be released this spring. Today, they released a video for a new song called MAH. What does MAH stand for? Mad as Hell, of course! As for the video, it was shot at a recent show at London’s Alexandra Palace.
Enjoy!
We’re only seven days into 2019 and I think we already have a contender for creepiest video of the year.
Of course, when I say that, I’m not talking about the bad type of creepy, like that guy who works across the hall from you and who is always trying not to get caught staring whenever you walk by. No, I’m talking about good creepy, the type of creepy that sticks in your mind and makes you wonder what the point of it all is.
Are those spiders or are those ants exploding out of everyone’s head? Either way …. AGCK!
Enjoy!
Friends forever.
It’s a nice idea.
Enjoy!
With the final two days of 2018 coming up on us, let’s keep things simple with today’s music video of the day. Away goes 2018 and away we go to 2019!
Enjoy!
I picked this video because it reminded me of middle school, high school, and St. Monica’s Catholic School, as well. Actually, it also reminded me of my first two years of college. And my last two years of college, as well. It also reminded me of my old apartment complex in Garland. Also, it made me think of a New Year’s Eve Party that I attended in 2010. And 2013, as well. The 2016 and 2017 New Year’s Parties weren’t anywhere near as fun as the ones in the past, largely because everyone got political. But, from 2001 to 2015, I attended some interesting parties.
So yeah, chalk this one up to nostalgia.
Parties are always a lot more fun in music videos. Have you noticed that? I think that’s because only really attractive, really cool people ever show up for music video parties. Whereas, in real life, there’s always like that one rando who shows up and kinda brings everyone down with their presence. It’s like that one dude who shows up at the party and no one knows who he is but he keeps standing by the fireplace and pointing at you and nodding whenever you acknowledge his stare.
Anyway, am I rambling? Well, then you better just ignore me and….
….Enjoy!
Too late for Christmas music?
NEVER!
As long as it’s December, there wil always be time for cats performing Christmas music.
Enjoy!
Well, do you?
Anyway, there are two things that I particularly like about this video. One of them is the long tracking shot that follows Tove Lo as she walks back to her dressing room. It reminded me a bit of the opening to Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil. I also liked the long close-up of Tove Lo sitting in her dressing room. It takes courage on the part of both the director and the performer to hold a shot for that long.
Enjoy!
Awwwwww! Gwen and Blake are so cute together.
There’s a lot of reasons why this video works but really, it all comes down to charisma and chemistry. Gwen and Blake look like they should be celebrating Christmas together and, when you watch, you want to celebrate with them. This video was directed by Sophie Muller, who has directed over 230 videos since the late 80s!
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
If Jean Rollin had ever directed a Christmas special, it would probably look a bit like this video for GALYA’s Winter Love.
Amusez-vous bien!
Darlene Love’s Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is one of my favorite Christmas song but, unfortunately, there’s not an official music video for Love’s version.
However, there is a music video for Love’s 1992 Christmas song, All Alone on Christmas. As you can tell from watching the video, this song was actually a part of the Home Alone 2 soundtrack. The video is full of footage from the movie but it does not include the scenes with Donald Trump. However, it does feature Macaulay Culkin “producing” the song. I understand that the grown-up Culkin now performs song about pizza which …. well, I mean, I like pizza so hopefully it’s not as stupid as it sounds.
In the video, Darlene Love is backed up by members of the E Street Band, who all look happy to be freed (if only momentarily) from the tyranny of Bruce Springsteen.
Enjoy!
