A beautiful Leader Of The Pack intro leads into an equally beautiful, yet much more violent and totally messed-up video that's more in a Mad Max vein as Twin Shadow aka George Lewis Jr does battle with some masked marauders. If you find the tale intriguing, the video's end credit says its from Lewis' novel Night Of The Silver Sun, co-written by Eric Green, which is either a) coming soon, b) unpuplished, or c) unwritten. --> watch "Five Seconds"

Screw acting lessons. Wannabe thespians looking to get in touch with their innermost pain and trauma just need a few seconds sitting across from indie rocker St. Vincent. That's all it takes to reduce them to tears.

After more than a decade away from the video scene, director Melodie McDaniel returns with a trippy, experimental performance video for NYC's Blonde Redhead. Singer Kazu Makino is layered inside smoke, lights and colors  as she asks a friend  to repent any number of times. I'm not sure the number 23 has any significance here, but the video does share some similarities with one made seven years ago for a band with five letters in its name: Doves "Catch the Sun."
