Music Video of the Day: Whenever I’m Away From You by John Travolta (1977, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

John Travolta sings!

Actually, I guess that’s not a surprise.  He did co-star in Grease and all that.  Still, it’s kind of interesting to see Travolta doing the sensitive singing teen idol routine.  Why is he dressed like Prince Valiant?  It was the 70s, I guess.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Profane Prophecy by The Black Crowes (2026, dir by Dagger Polyester)

Today’s music video of the day is the latest from the Black Crowes.  Enjoy it and spare a thought for those of us at the North Texas branch of Through the Shattered Lens because we are about to get hit by snow and 8 degree weather.

The last time we had weather this bad, we had rolling black-outs and were actually off-line for a few days.  So, if you don’t see me or Erin or Jeff around for a while, don’t worry.  We’re just waiting for the sun to come out!

Thought Gang was a musical collaboration between two much-missed artists, David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti.  This video was directed by Lynch and it starred none other than Angelo Badalamenti himself!

Music Video of the Day: Old Black Clown by Edgar Allan Poets (2012, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today is Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday!  You would think that there would be a hundred music videos based on the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.  Well, you would be wrong.  While Poe’s work has inspired countless musicians (and there have been several songs based on his work), there aren’t many “official” music videos of those songs.

However, there is a band that was not only influenced by Poe but which proudly displays that influence.  Edgar Allan Poets is a Los Angeles band that lists its two greatest influences as being Poe and Hitchcock.  This video is for their song Old Black Clown.

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

Snow?  We have no snow.  However, we do have freezing temperatures that have left me shivering under the covers.  Today’s music video of the day feels appropriate.  Luckily, Lindsey Stirling can make any sudden weather change better.

Enjoy!
