I've enjoyed adding little video clips along with these, so here's one of Stephen Colbert singing Cheap Rewards (skip ahead to about 4:30 for just the song). Also, you might enjoy the new musical episode of Squidbillies, starring Cowtippers favorite, Unknown Hinson. It's called America: Why I Love Her, and it features performances from the likes of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Drive-By Truckers, Hayes Carll, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and more. It's available on adultswim.com for now, and if you're not familiar with the show, consider this your warning: it'll be delightfully offensive.

7/13, plus some videos

You may be interested in some of the videos from the AV Club's Undercover series. I'd recommend Cowtippers' favorite Justin Townes Earlecovering The Boss' Atlantic City (the song with which I closed the show tonight), and once you get there you should check out Clem Snide's surprising uke Journey cover. Most of the rest are also worth a listen. Though you can probably skip Cursive covering Starship.

Funny video time

A rare intra-week post from me to give you a couple of videos.

First of all - want to know what the Telluride Bluegrass Festival is like? Here you go: it's the House Band's encore from Sunday night.

May I recommend about 2:15, when Bela Fleck loses his shit?

Also, just in case you haven't seen it, Does Neko Case Have to Choke a Bitch?

"I will go to jail. I don't give a shit."

Enjoy!
