I’m sitting here right now, at 2 in the morning, looking out my bedroom window for any sign of the snow storm that the local media has been warning me about for an entire week. The snow may not be here yet but the freezing cold is. Today’s music video of the day feels appropriate.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day comes to us from David Bowie, who would have been 78 years old on this day.
Look Back In Anger has nothing to do with the John Osborne play of the same name but the music video is based on The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Enjoy!
Today, we wish a happy 78 birthday to signer Kenny Loggins. Our music video of the day is for the Oscar-nominated theme song from 1984’s Footloose, which was written and performed by Mr. Loggins.
Enjoy!
Today would have been the 57th birthday of the late director, John Singleton.
Today’s music video of the day is one that Singleton directed. This song (and Ludacris himself) were both featured in Singleton’s 2003 film, 2 Fast 2 Furious. I can remember when 2 Fast 2 Furious first came out. There were a lot of jokes about the stylized title and also the idea of even making a sequel to a film like The Fast and the Furious. That shows how much people knew back then! Today, almost all sequels have a stylized title (though perhaps Die Hard 2: Die Harder deserves as much credit for that as 2 Fast 2 Furious) and The Fast and The Furious franchise appears to be immortal.
Enjoy!
Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 50th birthday to the one and only Bradley Cooper! Today’s music video of the day comes from Cooper’s Oscar-nominated version of A Star Is Born. The chemistry between Cooper and Lady Gaga is still amazing to behold.
Personally, I hope Cooper wins his Oscar soon.
Enjoy!
Director Harmony Korine is 52 years old today. In honor of his birthday, today’s music video of the day is for a song and a music video that was inspired by Korine’s work as a filmmaker. So, watch this and then you can start having that dream again.
Enjoy!
Here’s our first AMV of the Day of 2025. I’m hoping we can devote a bit more time anime this year then we have in the past. Afterall, when this site started way back in 2009, anime was one of its main focuses.
Song: Down The Road by C2C
Anime: Cowboy Bebop

Past AMVs of the Day
J.R.R. Tolkein was born 132 years ago today.
Today’s music video comes from Peter Jackson’s epic adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. May It Be was the theme song for the first installment, 2001’s The Fellowship of the Ring, and the music video features clips from the films, along with Enya singing. The Hobbit trilogy probably would have been better if it had featured more Enya.
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day comes to us from Tears For Fears and their seventh studio album, The Tipping Point.
This song is a mix of melancholy emotions and hope for a better future. As the video shows it can be easy to feel like you’re drowning in today’s world, with its constant flood of negativity and disturbing imagery. As I sit here typing this post, I still can’t go on twitter without immediately being confronted by a video of a woman being burned alive in a New York subway car. There’s only so much of that ugliness that one can see before it becomes tempting to assume that the human race is defined solely by the worst members of it. The majority of the people that I know, though, are kind, loving, and tolerant. And if they see you drowning, they’ll be the first to reach out and pull you to safety.
In other words, I think we’re going to be okay.
Enjoy!
Honestly, what better way to start the New Year than with my favorite band, Saint Motel?
I like this video because they’re stars, they’ve got a tour bus, they’re driving across the country, and they’ve got adoring fans everywhere but the members of the band still come across as just being a very cool and laid back group of people. They’re having fun and they’re passing that fun on to the folks who come to see and hear them. Saint Motel is staying golden.
I saw Saint Motel in Dallas in 2020. They’re a great live band. They bring a lot of energy to the stage and it’s obvious that they love their fans. I recommend this band to everyone. Hopefully, they’ll provide the soundtrack to my 2025.
Enjoy!
