Music Video of the Day: I’m A Mess by Avril Lavigne, feat. Yungblud (2022, dir by Patrick Tracy)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Aren’t we all?

(Or, at the very least, we all like to think that we’re a mess.  Being a mess always makes for a more interesting story than being relatively unmessy and satisfied with life.  Just consider, for instance, the current freak-out of Twitter, a site that basically found popularity as a place for people to brag about being a mess.)

I’m a fan of any video that features people who are emotionally lost in London.  While Avril contemplates in the sunlight, Yungblud wanders through the city.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears (2011, dir by Jonas Åkerlund)

It’s Britney, bitch!

Actually, this video feels even more appropriate today than it did when it was first released in 2011.  This video was meant to symbolize not only Britney’s career (up to that point) but also the Britney herself had returned to reclaim her superstar status.  Today, of course, it feels more like Britney has returned to reclaim her life.

The beach seems like a good idea right about now.  And yes, that’s the main reason that I’m sharing this video this morning.  Plus, I like Lorde.

Music Video of the Day: American Woman by Lenny Kravitz (1999, dir by Paul Hunter)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’m just going to say it.  The Lenny Kravitz version of American Woman is a hundred times better than the Guess Who version.  I know that some people have criticized Kravitz for stripping away the film’s political subtext but I’ve listened to the original song and the politics were dumb.

As for the video, I want Heather Graham’s car.  I also like this video because it reminds me of my cousins.  The Bowman family reunion in Arkansas is always home to a lot of motorcycles and a lot of American flags.

Enjoy!
