Music Video of the Day: Blue Monday, covered by Orgy (1998, dir by ????)


Since yesterday’s music video of the day was New Order’s first video for Blue Monday, it seems only appropriate that today’s video should be for Orgy’s cover of the same song.  I’m usually not a huge fan of covers but Orgy brings their own unique interpretation to the song.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Blue Monday by New Order (1983, dir by ????)


With Sunday’s release of the trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, the choice for today’s music video of the day is an obvious one.  The trailer is memorably scored to New Order’s Blue Monday and the song even trended on twitter as a result.  It’s a good song so here’s the video.

This is apparently the first of four different videos that were released, over the years, for Blue Monday.  Val previously wrote about the 1988 version.  This version is from 1983 and it’s definitely very much a product of the 80s.  The song’s timeless, though.

I know there’s several interpretation as to what this song is about.  I assume it’s about death but then again, that’s kind of my default interpretation as far as lyrics go.

Music Video Of The Day: Want You In My Room by Carly Rae Jepsen (2019, dir by Andrew Donoho)


Today’s music video of the day is a fun and energetic little video from Carly Rae Jepsen.  Want You In My Room captures the giddy feel of preparing for a date.  This is classic Carly Rae Jepsen, in that it’s sexy, fun, and kind of innocent all at the same time.  Carly Rae’s from Canada and, based on the video and several episodes of Degrassi, I’m convinced that Canadians have a unique understanding of the joy of dancing on the beach.

This video was directed by Andrew Donoho, who has also done videos for twenty-one pilot, Jai Wolf, Zedd, and Skrillex.  The cute guy at the end is played by producer Jimmy Loweree, who also appeared in Carly’s video for Now That I Found You.

Music Video Of The Day: Cozy Little Christmas by Katy Perry (2019, directed by WATTS)


Tis the season and all that.

Is Katy Perry married to Santa Claus?  I guess I could see the appeal of that.  I mean, Santa seems like he would at least always give you the perfect gift.  For instance, Santa would never give you a Peloton for Christmas.  He knows better.  Actually, though, if I was Mrs. Claus, I might get a Peloton for Santa because I do sometimes suspect that Santa might not be getting much exercise up at the North Pole.

Music Video of the Day: Heal by Jax Anderson (2019, dir by ????)


This is a cute video and I enjoyed it so I’m going to share it.  I encourage everyone to watch and to read along.  Seriously, make sure you read the whole thing.   Jax appears to be doing better in her life, so good for her!

Myself, there were bits of this video that I related to and bits that I didn’t.  That’s the way things go.  We’re all individuals and we’re all going to have different experiences and different reactions.  For instance, I agree with Jax about Long Island ice teas but I don’t drink coffee, either.  Seriously, I have never been a coffee person and I guess that makes me unique among my circle of friends.  Everyone else is like, “Let’s get a coffee and discuss it,” and I’m like, “Let’s do neither.”  Or else they’re like, “Let’s have a glass of wine and talk about how much we love it when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host an awards show.” and I’m like, “Yeah, how about not?”  But, the important thing is not what we drink or what we watch but the fact that I agree with Jax’s overall conclusion.  Chill the fuck out and enjoy life.  Stop worrying about the stuff that doesn’t really matter.  Find yourself.  Host your own awards show and give yourself every trophy.  You’ve earned them.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: The Foundation by Nicolas Godin featuring Cola Boyy (2019, dir by Greg Barnes)


For today’s music video of the day, we have an interstellar epic of sorts.  The astronaut is played by Anna Sari while the scientist is played by Rick Kiesewetter.

Enjoy!
