Music Video of the Day: Head Down by Cher Lloyd (2025, dir by Raja Virdi)


Hey, you know what would be fun?  How about a music video shot in the middle of a really depressing city?  For whatever reason, depressing music videos have been an important component of more than a few music videos.  In this one, it adds a layer of meaning to the song, a layer that probably was not there before.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Heart of Glass by The Associates (1988, dir by ????)


This video popped up in my YouTube recommendations, I assume because I’ve been watching a lot of Blondie videos recently.  This has an enjoyably weird feel to it, with its caged clown on a typewriter and all the other carnival folks.  I relate to the woman at the start of the video.  That’s definitely the job and costume that I would want if I worked for a traveling circus.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: The Answers To The Questions by Chrystabell & David Lynch (2024, dir by David Lynch)


When Twin Peaks: The Return initially aired, Agent Tamara Preston was the character to whom I instantly related, for all sorts of reasons.  One of those reasons, of course, is that Agent Preston is the one who got to do all the research and write the book on life in Twin Peaks.  Another reason is because Agent Preston was both a competent professional and a self-amused femme fatale.  And finally, Agent Preston’s relationship with Gordon Cole reminded me of some of my most valued relationships.  Agent Preston was just one of the many pieces to the puzzle that was Twin Peaks: The Return but she was the one who I felt was standing in for me.

This wonderfully enigmatic music video would turn out to be one of David Lynch’s final short films.  Both the video and the song were made in collaboration with Crystabell, the Texan whose collaboration with Lynch began in 1999 and who, of course, played Agent Preston.

Enjoy!
