Trent Reznor's upward spiral has led him out of the live music business, or so he says. Rob Harvilla attended his allegedly last show at the Bowery Ballroom.
Whit Stillman, reclusive auteur of young conservative brights, can't get a film made in our blasted world. His sublime The Last Days of Disco is out in a new Criterion DVD edition, though. Nick Pinkerton catches up. (Full interview here.)

He also tells you if it's good.
"Why Bears are the New Twinks." What? The hairysexuals "are more in tune with the earthier, less narcissistic era we're apparently entering," says Michael Musto, and now they have their own movie, BearCity. He interviews the makers; then, a quick shower of nightlife.
