IFC.com presents the world premiere of the music video for the Dandy Warhols' "And Then I Dreamt of Yes," from the album "Earth To The Dandy Warhols," directed by Mark Helfrich (check out an interview with him below).
Director Mark Helfrich is a romantic. He's nostalgic about his beginnings as an editor, back when editors actually had to cut reels of 35mm film by hand. He used to be a DJ too, and for him, movies and music go hand in hand like vinyl and a good pair of headphones. A longtime Dandy Warhols fan, he shot this video for their song, "And Then I Dreamt of Yes," off of "Earth To The Dandy Warhols." The "Dr. Caligari" couple are so convincing that you may assume they're projections of original 1919 footage, unless you've happened to have seen it recently, but they're actors in old-timey makeup jobs shot simultaneously...

A good listen to Jackson's songs can tell more about him than any speech, in Bigger Than the Sound.

It was quite a spectacle, wasn't it? Tuesday's Michael Jackson memorial was — to borrow a phrase from a million lazy headline writers — "Fit for a King," full of tears and testimonials and triple-octave tributes, a once-in-a-generation event that was watched by the entire world (or something like one-sixth of it, anyway). For more than two hours, if there was any other event happening on the planet, you didn't know about it — which is about as fitting of a farewell you can give to the man who taught the world how to moonwalk. You will remember where you were when it happened, just like you'll remember where you where when you heard the news that Jackson had died.
But no matter how...
