Music Video of the Day: Cosmic Slop by Funkadelic (1973, dir by George Clinton)


Supposedly, LSD was consumed before this video was shot in Central Park and Times Square.

This was one of the few singles to be released by Funkadelic.  Though it stalled at 103 on the charts when it was first released, it’s still went on to become a live-performance favorite and one of the group’s most enduring songs.  Cosmic Slop was written by George Clinton and Bernie Worrell and it’s actually meant to be the prayer of a mother who will do anything to take care of her children.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Guess I’m Doing Fine by Beck (2002, dir by Spike Jonze)


Poor Beck.  I’m sure he’s cheered up by now though.

This video was directed by Spike Jonze.  This was two years after Jonze’s received his first Oscar nomination for Being John Malkovich and also the same year that Jonze’s released his second Oscar-nominated film, Adaptation.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: No Good by Annie Hardy (2023, dir by ????)


Here’s your reminder that if you haven’t seen Dascham (which stars Annie Hardy, the artist responsible for today’s music video of the day), it was one of my favorite films of last year and I think it’s destined to be watched by future students of history as they study the cultural and psychological impact of the COVID lockdowns.

Music Video of the Day: Alive by Jennifer Lopez (2002, dir by Jim Gable)


This song was written for the 2002 film, Enough.  The music video also features scenes from Enough so if you want to watch that particular film but you don’t have two hours to spare, fear not!  Here’s the four minute version!

Enjoy!
