Music Video of the Day: Eclipse by Robert Koch, featuring Julian Marchal (2016, dir by Mickael Le Goff)


Happy Eclipse Day to all who celebrate!

The prediction down here is that it’s going to be cloudy and rainy today so we probably won’t have the best view of the eclipse.  That’s okay, though.  I’m always tempted to look straight at the sun during an eclipse and, apparently, that’s one reason why my eyesight gets worse with each passing year.  My friend Tammy says that it doesn’t matter because it will still get dark so we’ll know the eclipse is happening, even if we can’t see it.

Where as I?

Oh yeah …. enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Bette Davis Eyes, covered by Walkman (2020, dir by Franscisco Maestri & Julian Viel)


116 years ago today, the great actress Bette Davis was born.  Today’s music video of the day is for her.

(Bette Davis, incidentally, loved this song and said that when the Kim Carnes version was released in the 80s, it not only made her “culturally relevant” again but it also caused her grandson to look up to her for the first time.)

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know by Britney Spears (2001, dir by Herb Ritts)


It’s Britney on the beach!  This video was controversial when it was first released.  It seems rather tame now.

This video was directed by photographer Herb Ritts and Britney’s boyfriend was played by French model Brice Durand.  Supposedly, neither Justin Timberlake nor Lynne Spears were happy with this video.  Lynne felt it was too explicit and Justin apparently had an issue with Britney kissing another guy, even though Britney was just acting, it was just for the music video, and it’s not as if Justin wasn’t messing around behind Britney’s back.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Moonflower by Blackbriar (2024, dir by Cinebuds)


Today’s music video has a very ominous atmosphere to it.  In fact, the feeling that I got, while watching it, was that it was taking place maybe a day or two before the end of the world.  That’s appropriate, considering that the name of the song’s record label is Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking of nuclear blasts, I’m thinking of following the lead of someone who I saw on TikTok and becoming a self-employed nuclear disarmament consultant.  I don’t know that I would be all that good at the job but it sounds like I would have fun finding out.  I imagine that I would start the day by calling up world leaders and saying, “Have you disarmed yet?”  I know I’m at least half-as-smart as that woman on TikTok so …. I mean, how hard can it be?

If only there was a movie that could educate me about nuclear missiles and stuff….

AGCK!  Okay, maybe I should just leave that job up to the experts….

Anyway, enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Mission Impossible, performed by Tomoyasu Hotei (2016, dir by ????)


Last night, my sisters and I watched and very much enjoyed Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning.  In honor of those 3 hours of sisterly bonding, here is the great Tomoyasu Hotei performing the Mission Impossible theme song.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Run Your Mouth by The Marias (2024, dir by Bethany Vargas)


It’s late and I have to be up early tomorrow so I’m just going to let you know that today’s music video of the day is from The Marias, a band featuring lead singer Maria Zardoya and her partner, drummer Josh Conway.  I always like the fact that the entire band is like, “We are all Maria’s,” as opposed to doing something like, “Maria and The Three Notes” or something.

Enjoy!
