Music Video of the Day: Whisper by voyeur (2024, directed by Kahyl Cooper)


Listening to this song, I thought it sounded exactly like the type of music that I like and that I wish more bands were performing.  Then I read the comments on YouTube, full of people praising the band and video for embracing a retro aesthetic and I realized that, today, retro means anything that I thought was cool in the years before I hit 20

Never before have I felt so old.  I know it happens to everyone eventually but I still had no idea that it would be the YouTube commentariat who would plunge me to straight into a midlife crisis.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Voyeur by Kim Carnes (1982, directed by Russell Mulcahy)


The music video for Kim Carnes’s Voyeur is another music video that was initially banned from MTV and other music shows because it was considered to be too suggestive.  The video features Kim Carnes watching and being watched in a red light district.

This was another video directed by Highlander’s Russell Mulcahy, who perhaps did more than anyone to perfect the early music video aesthetic.

Enjoy!
