NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams launches his new Web-only music
interview series with a look at Deer Tick, the Brooklyn-based indie rock quartet.
Meeting with the band at 30 Rock, Williams delves into the literal origins for
their song "Dirty Dishes," their upcoming June album release, "Born on Flag
Day," and what it means to be almost famous in music's digital age.
The new series confirms that for Williams, all news and no play would only be
half the story. The veteran broadcast journalist includes popular culture among
the topics he covers in his MSNBC.com blog, DailyNightly, where his taste in music confirms
he's an avid, adventurous fan. Look for future episodes of BriTunes on MSNBC.com
and on MSN Music.
