Last night CBS aired this year's Kennedy Honors ceremony which featured Bruce Springsteen. While it was very awkward to watch Bruce Springsteen watching others sing his songs (while sitting next the President no less), this version of "My City in Ruins" by Eddie Vedder was certainly a keeper.

Jeff Tweedy/Leslie Feist-"Broken Heart"
The Beck with Friends cover project of Skip Spence's "Oar" album continues today with this gorgeous version of "Broken Heart". I've only listened to it 25 times today so far....

Beck, Nils, Glenn, and Feist!
Tracks from the recent Beck & Friends cover of Skip Spence's 1969 opus "Oar" keep coming out, and this version of the song "Weighted Down" featuring Leslie Feist (lead vocals), Nels Cline (Wilco), and Glenn Kotche (Wilco) is particularly great. Check out Nils rocking that tiny guitar! And it only helps to further my believe that Feist and I should be good friends.....

Happy Chanukkah from The Daily Show
As a lapsed Jew.....I find this totally hilarious.

Music Collaboration of the Year?
OK, so there is some music project out there called N.A.S.A and while I don't know a ton about it, I found this video featuring Tom Waits and Kool Keith together. It may be the coolest thing I've seen and heard all year. The project also has M.I.A. and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's contributing. Anyway, this is a little of what I pulled from the MySpace page:
N.A.S.A., and their worldwide debut The Spirit of Apollo, is an ongoing creative collaboration between two lifelong music aficionados, Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, and their friends, friends of friends and musical heroes.
While N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and contains a number of superstar artists from both coasts of the U.S., it is about as far from a tension-building geographical showdown as a record can get. Rather, The Spirit of Apollo was born with the righteous goal of bringing people together through music and art, and that is exactly what masterminds Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean) and Ze Gonzales (DJ Zegon) have done.
