We already knew his iPod included Interpol, Feist, and Cat Power and that he hung out with Nano’s favorite daughter on SNL. Well, NBC’s prime time anchor Brian Williams continues intermingling Apple products with indie rock for this interview/iTunes plug with Deer Tick. It’s the inaugural edition of his new MSNBC.com series called — wait, wait — BriTunes. The word “iTunes” is said more times than Deer Tick.

The BriTunes logo apparently predates the invention of iTunes. Unless Wiliams knew about iTunes in the ’80s.

  1. You guys probably shouldn’t have posted this, Brian might run you out of business. Shcreiber should probably watch out too. My blog might make it though! lol @ me!

    nice, I think……Have not heard anything from the new album yet so I’m hoping it’s more City of Sin and These Old Shoes quality.

    war elephant = amazing all the way through. the new guy tobias can really rip on guitar, i’m excited for their new album. good for john and the guys.

  5. as much of a square as brian williams comes off as initially (like why is he plugging itunes so many times), he somehow comes off as indie literate, even if he might only be pretending

  6. brian williams is a beast. this is really cool.

    Wow, I had no idea Deer Tick were getting so (relatively) big. For anyone who’s interested in a couple more great Providence bands/artists, check out Golden Ghost and Viking Moses.
