Music Video of the Day: We Ready (Dallas) by Moses Uvere

I’ll be honest.

The main reason why I like this video is because I recognize every location where it was filmed, from the DART Station to Reunion Tower to Forrest Lane to that stairs.  I think I even recognize the elevator.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon (1977, designed by Maurice Binder)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Yesterday, veteran British film director Lewis Gilbert passed away.  Gilbert directed several films, in all sorts of different genres, but he’s probably best known for directing three James Bond films, including The Spy Who Loved Me.

Since The Spy Who Loved Me is one of my favorite Bond films, I thought it would be appropriate to pick Carly Simon’s theme song, Nobody Does It Better, for today’s music video of the day.  However, the closest that I could find to an “official” video was the Maurice Binder-designed title sequence from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Written by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager, Nobody Does It Better was Carly Simon’s longest-charted hit and it’s a song that has continued to have a long life outside of the Bond franchise.  It was the second Bond theme song to be nominated for Best Original Song.

Music Video of the Day: Carl Sagan vs. Zeus by NOIA (2017, dir by Erin Vassilopoulos)

Who would win in a fight between Carl Sagan and Zeus?  Personally, I’m putting my money on Zeus because he was like a God and all and I think they pretty much win every fight they get into.

That, however, has nothing to do with this wonderfully strange little video, which I personally think deserves more attention than it has gotten.  So, I’m sharing it here.  Don’t ask me to explain the video.  I just like the imagery and the overall surreal feel of it all.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Beautiful Thing by Alexis Taylor (2018, dir by Edwin Burdis)

For whatever reason, this video reminds me of the classic Jean Rollin film, The Grapes of Death.  Maybe it’s all the ominous shots of what, on the surface, appears to be a tranquil countryside.

Or maybe I just naturally compare everything that I see to a Jean Rollin film.

Regardless, enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Make Me Uncomfortable by Seavera (2018, dir by Josh Harris)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

This is definitely one of the creepier videos that I’ve seen this year.  Of course, I also recently rewatched a Canadian film called Ticket to Heaven, which was all about strange cults and stuff.  This video definitely reminded me of not only that movie but also 2011’s Sound of My Voice.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: The Flood by Katie Melua (2010, dir by Kevin Godley)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today, I decided to go with this music video because it’s been raining non-stop since Monday and I have a feeling that, on Thursday morning, I’m going look outside and discover that I’m right in the middle of a flood myself.

Plus, this video has a bunch of half-naked men doing Spartan stuff with their staffs.  That’s always a plus.

Music Video Of The Day: Modern Parenting by Creep Show (2018, dir by Chris Turner)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

“Agck!”

That’s the best way that I can sum up my reaction to today’s music video of the day.  This video is for Creep Show’s Modern Parenting and it’s the type of video that makes you want to pick up the phone and call whoever it is that you should call when children are living in deserted buildings and destroying televisions.

That said, I like this video.  I like the atmosphere of that deserted building.  Being young, alone, and angry is both scary and exhilarating and this video captures that feeling.

Enjoy!
