Howling Bells

NBC News anchor Brian Williams has been know for years as a trusted voice in the world of nightly news events, but only recently has he started to make a name for himself in a very different field.. indie rock.  As recently chronicled in an interview with Rolling Stone, the 37 year old anchor has started his own weekly online blog, aptly titled 'BriTunes.'

And in two recent episodes of one of the hottest new blog shows to hit the cyber world, the newsman shows that he has excellent taste, shouting out both Great Lake Swimmers and Howling Bells in succedding episodes.

Catch Brian giving Great Lake Swimmers a nod on the set of the Jimmy Fallon show on BriTunes second episode 'Brian's Songs.'

Watch Brian on the back lot of the Jay Leno set where he shouts out the Howling Bells in his latest episode 'Listening closley in L.A.'
