Music Video of the Day: Redneck Yacht Club by Craig Morgan (2005, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Apparently, today is American Redneck Day.  That’s one of those holidays that I didn’t even know existed until I came across it on a fun little site called Checkiday.

Now, myself, I’m not a redneck.  Neither is Erin.  But we’ve got enough rednecks in our family that I think we’ve both earned the right to take off work and celebrate this holiday.  I’m not sure how exactly one celebrates American Redneck Day, to be honest.  I’ll probably listen to All Summer Long once or twice and maybe I’ll watch some YouTube videos of people shooting beer cans.  That should be fun.

Anyway, this video is called Redneck Yacht Club and it really makes me want to go up to the lake this weekend.

Enjoy!

If you want to feel old, consider that this video is nearly 10 years old!

If you want to make those of us at the Shattered Lens Bunker feel really old, remind us that this song came out that same year that this site started!

This video features dancer Mori Koichiro and was filmed in Tokyo.

Enjoy!

When I watch this video, I immediately think of despair.

The sleazy motels.  The empty swimming pools.  The landscape of endless emptiness.  It’s all very American and yet it’s also a world that’s inspired some of the greatest American films ever made.  Just look at some of the shots and tell me that you don’t see the spirits of Harry Dean Stanton and Dennis Hopper hanging around in the background.  There’s a beauty in the ugliness of it all.

Enjoy!

I imagine I’ll be up and listening to this song at 5 in the morning.  As for the video, I always love these sort of post-apocalyptic warehouse-style music videos.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Lisa by Lita Ford (1990, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Earlier today, on a whim, I decided to do a YouTube search for any songs titled “Lisa.”

This was the first one that came up.  Other than what I saw in that Runaways movies, I have to admit that I  don’t really know anything about Lita Ford (and, to honest, I can’t even remember if her character had more than 6 lines in that film).  According to Songfacts, Ford wrote this song in honor of her mother, who was dying of cancer.  This is one of those songs where you can literally feel the heart beating underneath the lyrics.

As for the video, it’s pretty simple but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Enjoy!

After writing 24 hours worth of material for World UFO Day, I’m a little bit exhausted so I’m offering this energetic video up without comment.

Enjoy!

AMV Of The Day: Serve and Protect (Space Battleship Yamato 2199)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s been a while since we did an AMV of the Day post here at the Shattered Lens.  With today being World UFO Day, this seems like a good time to rectify that situation.  And what better way to do it than with an AMV that features a lot of spaceships blowing up?

I have to admit that I kinda missed the whole news cycle where the President proposed a Space Force and it would appear that most people have now moved on from it.  (That’s what happens when each news cycle only lasts for 5 hours.)  Personally, I think it would be kinda neat to have a Space Force, just in case the Space Bugs turn out to be real or whatever.  Plus, it would probably be fun to conquer other planets.  As the old saying goes, “Earth first!  Makes Mars our bitch!”  Though if an American Space Force conquered Mars, wouldn’t that makes Mars the 51st state or something?  Or the 54th, assuming that California splits up before we get around to invading the red planet?  I don’t know.  I’m not really into politics so I can’t say for sure.

Anyway, if we do get a Space Force, I imagine it’ll look something like this video.
