Music Video of the Day: Because I Do by X (1982, dir by Peter Haskell)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Here’s a classic music video from X.

When I was looking for a music video to share today, I discovered that the majority of the music videos had recently been uploaded to YouTube were AI.  It wasn’t just that the videos were made with AI.  It was that the singers and the songs were often AI as well!  That was disturbing, especially since most of the AI artists didn’t sound that different from their autotuned real-life counterparts.

Needless to say, I was happy to find this from Exene and X.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie (2000, dir by ????)

It’s Ash Wednesday!  Sharing this song by David Bowie is a bit of an Ash Wednesday tradition and I’m going to keep it going this year.  (Yes, I understand the song isn’t actually about Ash Wednesday but, for me, it is.)

This is from a 2000 performance in London.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Bayou Boy by Graham Barham (2024, dir by ????)

Happy Mardi Gras to all!

What can I say about this video other than it’s definitely authentic?  There’s a lot of people who will be able to relate to every word of this song.  This guy actually reminds me of more than a few of my cousins.  The fact that the song features more than a little Cajun French only contributes to the authenticity.

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)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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.

Enjoy!
