WHO'S GONNA SAVE MY SOUL -- Gnarls Barkley -- an attempt to answer the musical question: what makes a Mouse Dangerous? This song is my current obsession -- what an excellent piece of music -- it channels so much of the 60's, the lyrics tell an honest, complicated story -- this gets to you.
BLACK BOOKS -- Nils Lofgren -- Recorded live, the bridge of this song is a tutorial in guitar playing. Its haunting and angry and beautiful.
SUMMER TEETH -- Wilco. Something about the arrival of the warm weather has me listening to this again -- a great, jaunty little song from a great band.
OXFORD COMMA -- Vampire Weekend -- I've followed the progress of this band since they were playing bars here in New York. They didn't play this song during their SNL debut, presumably because they couldn't get around the fourth word in the lyrics.
ODE TO L.A. -- The Ravonettes -- a great, evocative song that channels the Wall of Sound era. Great driving music
AS I WENT OUT ONE MORNING -- Mira Billote -- a folk-y, sleeper re-make of the Dylan song from the I'm Not There soundtrack. Very hooky and gets to you over time.

I am having the most amazing time in Washington, D.C. with my family. Our nation's capital is so gorgeous! When we first pulled into the city it was almost like being in a completely different world, but at the same time it felt so much like home...and really (as cheesy as it may sound) it is home! Home to all Americans.
I sincerely hope you are having a wonderful July 4th weekend with your family. It's such an important holiday, and has always meant so much to me since I was a kid...not for the fireworks (etc.) but for what it really is.
Look forward to seeing you on Monday night's news, and hearing from you on the Daily Nightly blog Monday evening.
Hey Mr. Williams. Just wanted to say your one of my favorite anchors/journalists. I like your Inside the Obama White House special. I cant stop watching it. Great Job!
Just wanted to stop by here to wish you a Happy Father's Day! It's been an awfully difficult weekend, but I hope today you and all father's out there can step back from it all and just enjoy this day with your kids. Despite what is going on all over the world, I was very glad to see President Obama talking about Father's Day Friday afternoon, it was really touching...really touching.
Take care, hope you have a nice long sunday with your family! -Cary
I wanted to stop by here today to leave you a note of my condolences to you, Tim Russert's family, and all of you at NBC News. A year ago at this time, I didn't leave any of my condolences to you because I wasn't aware of your Daily Nightly blog and didn't know I had the opportunity...and since I've discovered your blog I've never felt closer to all of you at NBC. Though they may only seem like short words through your computer screen, I'm sorry that I couldn't "be there" as support to all of you in the awfully tough times you all went through.
Since I've started writing to your blog, I've gone back and read your posts from a year ago and it's so tough. I want to say, though a year has gone by now since Tim's passing...as hard as that is to believe, Tim and his family have not left our thoughts and prayers for a single moment, as I know that is the same for you. I can just imagine how excited and fascinated he would have been on election night, and throughout this whole brand new Administration. He is sorely missed by so many, but never forgotten. The way that all of you at NBC and MSNBC have remembered and honored his remarkable life has been so touching, and has really shown me just how much all of you love him, and what a real loving family all of you are at NBC and MSNBC.
Please send all of our love to Maureen, Luke, Big Russ, and the entire Russert family. All of my love to his friends and family, at and outside of NBC News.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain. If you have no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot retain.
Just stopping by to say, FANTASTIC Inside The Obama White House special! I can't thank you all enough for the amazing, unique look you and your crew gave us of this fascinating Administration.
THANK YOU! I'll be saying much more in your Daily Nightly blog when we see you back tomorrow evening. (though I already put in my thoughts to Ann Curry's post this afternoon)
Have a great night, and safe travels back to New York.
In life we should all learn from each other and teach what we learn to others everyday without any Jealousy or holding back. Knowledge is the Power for all of us. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge which causes harm to others especially to those hard working people such as Scientists, Doctors, etc. that make our life better everyday with new inventions.
Science is the key to observe our true Creators even sooner. Religion is a distortion of Facts mixed with Superstition.
Lets wake up, We are in the 21st Century. I honestly believe that we are all Cloned Beings and our Creators want us to know that. Scientists have known that all along but they are concerned about those of us that are still Sleep in this Century or are a religious Fanatic. To be continued ...
Dear Brian, Could you please help us to piece these puzzles together ? NB Please do see the pic section of our profile very carefully. love always, Gods xxxoooxxx
