Music Video of the Day: Three Marlenas by The Wallflowers (1997, dir by ????)


You know, this is a good song by a good singer and good group of backing musicians.  (The Wallflowers have had many personnel changes over the years, with Jakob remaining the one consistent member.)  Jakob Dylan has always been a little overshadowed by his famous father and, while that’s understandable, it’s definitely a shame.  Jakob is a talented artist in his own right and this video shows that.

That said, the main reason I like this video is because of Jakob emerging from the ocean with those big blue eyes.  Hi, Jakob!

Music Video of the Day: Snow Waltz by Lindsey Stirling (2022, dir by Lindsey Stirling)


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.

Music Video of the Day: Look Back In Anger by David Bowie (1979, dir by David Mallet)


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.

Music Video of the Day: Footloose by Kenny Loggins (1984, dir by Brian Grant)


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.

Music Video of the Day: Act a Fool by Ludacris (2003, dir by John Singleton)


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!

Music Video Of The Day: I’ll Never Love Again by Lady Gaga (2019, dir by Bradley Cooper)


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!

Music Video of the Day: Harmony Korine by Steven Wilson (2010, dir by Lasse Hoile)


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!

AMV of the Day: Down The Road (Cowboy Bebop)


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

Music Video of the Day: May It Be by Enya (2001, dir by Peter Nydrle)


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 RingsMay 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!
