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.

You're certainly up late, Mr. Williams. Isn't it past midnight on the East? I guess you're still watching those elections. What's good with BriTunes? {{-_-}}

Sure do miss you on Nightly News! Just wanted to stop by to say I hope you've been enjoying your well deserved vacation -- and good luck to your Yankees! I hope they break that late tie! My Hokies weren't too lucky tonight... But I'm still proud of them.
Take care, and look forward to seeing you on Monday night! -Cary
I just wanted to stop by for a short message. We all miss you and hope you're having a great, family-filled vacation! It's great timing for you to be taking a break, just before summer starts coming to an end. Also, hope the weather is nice. My aunt from Alexandria, VA is spending her vacation this week in your home state of New Jersey and said the weather was gorgeous. I just ordered tickets to see the Great Lake Swimmers in Washington, DC October 1st! I was also shocked and delighted to find Tony Dekker responded personally to an E-mail I sent them early this month! He even wished me luck on my freshmen year at college! I could tell by your interview with him that he was a nice, down to earth guy. Just wanted to share that with you.
Like I said, we all miss you, but hope you are having a great vacation and getting lots of time with your family.
Hi Brian! Just wanted to pop in to say "hi" and to give you a "simple and small assignment." All you do is take a moment, just one, we'll call it, "a special moment for Brian." Now...think of something really funny (are ya' thinking?) just something "fall-down, laugh your-ass-off-funny" and then just "smile" about it. You don't have to say what it was or tell anyone what you were thinking, all you have to do is "smile". That's it..assignment over. Now..it's Monday and you've smiled...my work here is done. Have a great day..oh..and don't forget to smile!! God bless and carry you through this week laughing!! (May as well) ~Elaine~

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.
