Brad’s Music Video of the Day – “Boondocks” by Little Big Town


As a guy from Toad Suck, Arkansas, I’ve always loved this early breakout song from 2005 for the country group, Little Big Town. As the song says:

“I feel no shame, I’m proud of where I came from, I was born and raised in the boondocks.”

One of the group’s members, Phillip Sweet, is actually from Arkansas which makes it even “sweeter!” So if you’re proud of where you came from, no matter if it’s the biggest city or the most backwoods boondocks, sit back and enjoy this classic from Little Big Town!

Music Video of the Day: I Miss The Band by Alanis Morissette (2021, dir by Victor Indrizzo)


Today is Alanis Morissette’s 51st birthday.

Today’s music video of the day is for a song that she wrote about not being able to tour during the COVID lockdowns.  The song is all about how much she misses traveling with her band.  When the song was released, it was used to raise money for Morissette’s backing band, who couldn’t work because the governments across the world tried to ban mass gatherings.

Seriously, I think some people have forgotten — or have chosen to pretend to forget — just how insane things got with the COVID lockdowns.  We were all missing our friends, our family, our lives …. our band.

(Sorry, I’m not yet ready to forgive and forget.  15 Days To Slow The Spread because 48 Months To Do What You’re Told Or Else.  I just spent a week and a half watching Clint Eastwood films so I’m definitely not in a rule-following mood right now.)

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: I Talk To The Trees by Clint Eastwood (1969, dir by Joshua Logan)


Okay, it’s not so much a music video as it’s a scene from a movie but whatever.  It’s Clint Eastwood’s birthday, we’re about to post a ton of Clint Eastwood-related reviews today, and I wanted to start things out with Clint!

This scene is from 1969’s Paint Your Wagon.  You know what?  Clint’s voice wasn’t that bad in this movie.  That said, I’m glad I talked to my sister into reviewing it instead of me.  When I was in college, I took a class about musicals and there was this frat boy sitting behind me who just obsessed with Paint Your Wagon,

Happy birthday, Clint!

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: In My House by Kendra Morris (2025, dir by ????)


Watching this video reminded me that 1) glasses can be cool and 2) I need to make an appointment with the eye doctor soon and see if my vision has gotten any worse.  I’m pretty sure it has but I’ve been putting off the visit.

Enjoy!
