Hell yeah!  Liberty!  America!

Song of the Day: Atomic by Blondie (Happy Birthday, Debbie Harry)


Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 79th birthday to the legendary Debbie Harry!

Our song of the day is my favorite of Blondie song (and, believe me, there were many to choose from), Atomic!  This song, which was subsequently covered for Trainspotting by Sleeper, is one that I often find myself not only quoting but also hearing in my head.

Uh huh, make me tonightTonight, make me rightUh huh, make me tonightTonightTonight

Music Video of the Day: Pour Me A Drink by Post Malone, featuring Blake Shelton (2024, dir by ????)


It’s not quite football season yet but it’s approaching so this video feels appropriate.  Fortunately, I neither watch football nor drink so I’ve spared myself a lot of angst.

Enjoy!
