Music Video of the Day: Next by Olivia Holt (2021, dir by ????)
I like this video because the opening images and the first few notes of the song remind me of some lost Eurospy classic from the late 60s. It has a nicely decadent, Jess Franco sort of feel to it. And that’s always a good thing!
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Road House Blues by Jeff Healey Band
“The name is Dalton.”
I’m in a Road House mood today.
Music Video of the Day: Future Shock by Marc Collin, feat. Clara Luciana (2019, dir by Marc Collin)
Both this song and the scenes in the videos are taken from one of my favorite films of the last few years, The Shock of the Future. A tribute to the women who helped to create electronic music, The Shock of the Future is a rather inspiring film and it can currently be viewed on Tubi. So, go watch it!
But watch the music video first.
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: It Don’t Worry Me by Keith Carradine

Music Video of the Day: It’s ok, I’m ok by Tate McRae (2024, dir by Hannah Lux Davis)

Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Overture from King of King by Miklos Rosza
Music Video Of The Day: My Own Summer by Deftones (1997, dir by Dean Karr)
In this video, the Deftones perform while standing on shark cages. Which … I don’t know. That, honestly, is something that I would never do. It just seems like you’re inviting trouble and, to prove my point, Chino Moreno does fall into the water while performing. Apparently, Chino survived being attacked by the shark because he’s still around. Maybe he’s like Felix Leiter in the original James Bond novels and he’s bionic now.
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Andy Warhol from David Bowie
Today’s song of the day comes from David Bowie and it’s about Bowie’s fascination with Andy Warhol. Warhol himself apparently didn’t care for this song but Bowie meant it as a tribute.
This song came out in 1971. 25 years later, Bowie would play Andy Warhol in Basquiat.
Music Video Of The Day: Summer 09 by Vancouver Sleep Clinic (2019, dir by Max Galassi)
Today’s music video of the day is this haunting and rather sad video for Summer ’09, the second single to be released from Vancouver Sleep Clinic’s second album, Onwards to Zion.
The song itself was inspired by the passing of a friend of Tom Bettison’s. (Bettison is the artist behind Vancouver Sleep Clinic.) Bettison’s friend passed away in 2017 and this song was Bettison’s way of dealing with the pain of his loss. It’s not surprising, then, that both the song and the video are both nostalgic and sad, a song of regret that also celebrates the time that these two friends were able to share with one another.
Enjoy!
