These Squirrels Are Smarter Than I Am
Seriously. Clever and not easily thwarted.
Also reminded me of this bit from early Letterman, which I was delighted to find on the youtubes.
Lou & Elvis
Seems like this oughtta be up here. Great cover of ´Femme Fatale´, remedial instruction on ´Sweet Jane´, and more.
Reno 911!
I like this show.

Elliott Smith on The Jon Brion Show
Better than we deserve, surely. Includes Waterloo Sunset, Jealous Guy, and Nighttime.
VH1 passed on this concert, and it stayed hidden for over a decade until showing up on the netwebs. Story here.
