...Gold Lion” Dir. Patrick Daughters The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have finally reversed their habit of making rubbish videos for fantastic songs. The New York art-punk trio’s newest video to single, “Gold Lion,” is a scorcher, in the literal sense. The band find themselves in a desert at night. And, as one is wont to do in a desert at night, they start a massive bonfire with their instruments while dust swirls around them in slow motion. Black-clad drummer Brian Chase somehow lights the fire by pounding...
...also talked to TIME (see following story), and with Dylan, interviews can be as deft as his musical performances.

Noir cinema reaches its apotheosis with Peckinpah's rendering of Jim Thompson. Throw in the coolest white man ever (Steve McQueen) and you've got a scorcher. Rear Window (1954). Well, actually, the whole Hitchcock canon, actually, but my pick is Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. Down By Law (1986). Jim Jarmusch's extended character study (incorporating a few digs at Hollywood convention) is probably the funniest American movie ever made. Rebel Without a Cause...
