Last night was a good, good night.

A unique moment in music happened last night at the Hideout. You see, there was a release party for the @MayorEmanuel Twitter-adventure-turned-book: "The F***ing Epic Quest of @MayorEmanuel" penned, or uh, Tweeted by Dan Sinker. The mayor himself even turned up! But here's the part that would have had me ROFL-ing had I been there: Wilco's Jeff Tweedy covering "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas. I guess you could say @MayorEmanuel invited him to do this back in January. And he was right...people do love that shit.

The only thing that could have made this any better is if Brian Williams would have turned up, too.

This just in: Brian Williams is cool.

The Nightly News host has started a rock video blog called BriTunes.  Rolling Stone has an interview with him about his new endeavor, and his love of music, here.  A couple of my favorite parts?

• When he says he may be a hipster, “but never tragic,” and that he used to hang out in Brooklyn and drink PBRs. 

• He hits iTunes on Mondays at midnight, “when everything drops.”  (But, then he uses the word “skitter” (as in around the web) in the next sentence…)J

• That he was listening to Camera Obscura while getting ready for the Correspondents Dinner.  
  

His first interview is with the band Deer Tick.
