Music Video of the Day: Easy Lover by Miley Cyrus (2025, dir by Miley Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter)


Oh hey, it’s yet another behind-the-scenes style music video.  Look at all the effort that goes into shooting a Miley Cyrus video, everyone!

Oh well.  Even if I am a bit cynical about this video’s format, at least Miley’s improved as a performer over the past few years.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: The Touch by Mark Wahlberg


Happy birthday, Mark Wahlberg!

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You’ve never walked, you’ve never run
You’re a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You’re nobody’s fool

You’re at your best when when the going gets rough
You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell’s breaking loose
You’ll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You’re a fighter

It’s in the blood, it’s in the will
It’s in the mighty hands of steel
When you’re standing your ground

And you never get hit when your back’s to the wall
Going to fight to the end and you’re taking it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell’s breaking loose
You’ll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You’re fighting fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You’re at your best when when the road gets rough
You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

Lyrics: Stan Bush

Song of the Day: Dust (What I Know) by Downtown Sasquatch


Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to Shane Kippel!

Shane Kippel, as I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, played Spinner Mason on Degrassi: The Next Generation.  He started out as the school bully but, by the time the third season began, he was pretty much the heart of the ensemble.  How cool was Shane Kippel?  He was so cool that Spinner ended up getting held back three times just so there would be an excuse to keep Kippel on the show!

(“What type of idiot fails his own language!?” Spinner once said when confronted with his grade in English.  Oh, Spinner!)

Today’s song of the day features Shane Kippel on drums.  From Degrassi, here is Downtown Sasquatch with Dust!

(The other members of the band are Jake Epstein on vocals, Aubrey Graham on guitar, and Adamo Ruggiero on bass.)
