Music Video of the Day: Natural One by The Folk Implosion (1995, dir by Michael and David Udris and Larry Clark)


This song was written for the soundtrack of the 1995 film, Kids, and not surprisingly, the video if full of scenes from the Larry Clark-directed film (along with another story about astronauts and wind-up toys).  Oddly enough, the song itself doesn’t actually appear in the film.  The film instead uses a much lesser song called Daddy Didn’t Understand or something like that.

Anyway, this is a good song.  I like it and the video definitely works.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (2024, dir by Daniel Ramos and Bruno Mars)


This is a good song.  Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga actually compliment each other much more than one might expect.  I’m almost looking forward to that second Joker movie now …. almost.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Me Oh My by Kylie Minogue (2024, dir by Charlie Di Placido)


Watching this video reminded me of the time that I went to Florence and became totally overwhelmed by the shock of viewing so many great works of art in person.  I nearly fainted!  It’s an experience that I recommend to everyone.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Lifetimes by Katy Perry (2024, dir by Stillz)


Hey, Stillz– nice video but get a real name, okay?  I’m tired of every video director being named Director Y or Crunch Time or whatever.

Remember the Taylor Swift/Katy Perry feud that happened like a hundred years ago? I was Team Katy all the way.  From what I understand, the feud was largely media-created and Taylor and Katy are now friends and that’s nice.  Katy also wrote this song for her daughter, which is also nice.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Down by Victoria Justice (2024, dir by Luis De Pena)


This music video works best if you assume that everyone in it is a member of an international drug cartel.  It just has that feel to it.  This one does not get stuck in your head like My Best Friend’s Brother but I’m still glad to see that Victoria Justice is living her best life.

Enjoy!
