Is Brian Williams's iPod cooler than Anderson Cooper's iPod? The NBC Nightly News anchor throws the gauntlet in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel (he doesn't call-out AC, but we like making things into competitions) when he discusses the relative merits of Our Love To Admire ("I think the first three are the best cuts on the album. It didn't get very good press 'cause they're an NYU band and they kinda change with this album."), Feist's "1234" clip ("it's Scorcesian"), and Cat Power ("[she] will really bum you out. Don't ever mix that with, like, anything else")...
Cue in at 2:30 to get the rundown of what Brian listens to (on noise-canceling Bose headphones) while he writes the news. He's funny and smart, and he always kills on The Daily Show and Conan, but maybe the news would be better and more informative if he was truly bummed out? In addition to Cat Power, he should be required to listen to GSYBE's "Dead Flag Blues," Chocolate Genius's "My Mom," and the Swans' "God Damn The Sun" for the rest of the year.
