If he wasn’t dreamy enough, NBC Nightly News’ Brian Williams has launched a new online music interview series titled “BriTunes”. The first profile: Deer Tick! You can watch the inaugural episode here.

Okay, so I didn’t name this thing, but I did come up with the idea. I have always loved identifying good music and good groups — discovering them early (bar bands are best) and following them through their journey. While we’ll interview some established musicians, mostly I’d like this to be a place where people can sample some of the great music being created every day, by talented musicians who wouldn’t dream of doing anything else. –Brian Williams
