Since today is John Woo’s birthday, it only feels appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Powell’s score for Face/Off.

Song of the Day: Atlantis by Donovan
For the most part, I didn’t care much for Borderline but I did appreciate the way the film used today’s song of the day.

Song of the Day: Diamonds Are Forever, performed by Shirley Bassey
Today, on Sean Connery’s birthday, our song of the day is the theme for one of my favorite Bond films. I know that some people claim that Diamonds are Forever is a lesser Bond film but personally, I think it’s just silly enough to be effective. James Bond and Las Vegas are a match made in heaven.
Music Video of the Day: I’m Lost by Elohim (2020, dir by Chase O’Black)
Have you ever noticed how people always seem to get lost in the desert? I mean, it’s rare that you ever see a music video about someone getting lost because they missed their exit on Central Expressway. The lesson here is to stay as far away from the desert as possible. You’re safer in a tropical rain forest.
Enjoy!
