Paul Thomas Anderson begins and ends The Master with the same image: Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), lying on a beach in the South Pacific in the closing days of World War II, nestled up close to the figure of a woman carved in the sand. Bent out of shape by the war, he is alcoholic and possibly deranged. In a series of weird, unconnected images, we see Freddie siphoning petrol from the tank of an aircraft, masturbating into the Pacific surf, lying in a hammock on a warship.

Vampire Weekend played new track "Unbelievers" on US television last night – watch it below. Fans will recognise the track as the same one the band premiered at an intimate show at Cleveland's House Of Blues earlier this year (July 12), though they then referred to it as 'New Song#2'.

A new track by Thom Yorke's supergroup Atoms For Peace has appeared on YouTube, after originally being played on Mary Anne Hobbs' XFM show yesterday (October 31).
