It's fashion week in NYC, people, and in addition to the runway pagentry and coked up afterparties, this means lots of music-y things are afoot, like Joanna Newsom playing mini-sets at galleries and Ryan Adams passing his fashion-forward commentary. As for Ry's personal fashion week style? It's finger lickin' good y'all.

Sandwiched in the middle of an advertisement for the forthcoming, vinyl-only, totally-fake album Magick, Ryan serenades his webcam like a proper YouTroubadour with the exceedingly pretty "Like Yesterday," honing in on a Neil Young-y, vintage acoustic vibe befitting the intro and outro's retro feel. Also fascinating to observe how incredible a user-generated clip can sound when the performer has not just emotion but, ya know, actual talent. Someone should start a Funny Or Die for singer-songwriters. What should we call it? Oh here's one: Don't Suck Or Cover "Umbrella" Or Die dot com.
