Music Video of the Day: When I’m Gone by Katy Perry, feat. Alesso (2022, dir by Hannah Lux Davis)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

This is a fun video and I think we need more fun in the world.

The robot in the video was provided by Boston Dynamics and was nicknamed “Nugget” by Perry.  (The robot’s actual name was Spot.  If I ever get a robot, I’m naming it Fritz after director Fritz Lang.)  The video itself premiered on ESPN because …. well, why not?  Where else was it going to premiere?  Rob Dyrdek’s not in the video so it’s not like it could have premiered on MTV or any of its affiliated stations.  This was the first music video to ever premiere live on ESPN and, as far as I can tell, it might also be the only one.  There’s nothing wrong with being unique.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Bayou Boy by Graham Barham (2024, dir by ????)

Happy Mardi Gras to all!

What can I say about this video other than it’s definitely authentic?  There’s a lot of people who will be able to relate to every word of this song.  This guy actually reminds me of more than a few of my cousins.  The fact that the song features more than a little Cajun French only contributes to the authenticity.

Music Video of the Day: Lonely Dancers by Conan Gray (2024, dir by Jason Lester)

This is a lovely video and I’m happy to feature it as today’s music video of the day.  Everyone’s been a lonely dancer at some point in their life and this video has a 70s, working class hero vibe to it that I really appreciate.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: The Fool On The Hill, performed by Joe Pesci

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to Joe Pesci!  A favorite of Scorsese’s, an fascinating interview subject, and the star of the short-lived series Half-Nelson, Joe Pesci has become a true American institution.

It’s often forgotten that, before he became an award-winning actor, Pesci pursued careers as both a stand-up comedian and a singer.  Here he is, performing a lounge version of The Beatles’ Fool On The Hill for his 1968 album, Little Joe Sure Can Sing!

Music Vide of the Day: Deep Wells by Kacey Musgraves (2024, dir by Hannah Lux Davis)

Oh God, I know the feeling.  Especially as of late.  Kacey has a way of capturing it all and this video certainly does capture that being buried alive, slowly suffocating sensation that comes from being overwhelmed to the point you wish you could just vanish.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: V.A.N. by Bad Omens x Poppy (2024, dir by Garrett Nicholson and Poppy)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I can relate.  This whole month has been full of bad omens.  Let’s just hope that Valentine’s Day can redeem things and save 2024 from being over before it’s even begun!

(No pressure, lover!)

Enjoy!
