Do you find yourself staring at the new release in the iTunes store, wondering "I wonder what new music Brian Williams is listening to?" If so there are some questions you might want to answer.

Anyway, BriTunes is the new web-only music show where BriWi shows off his favorite up-and-coming acts. While his taste is about 3% edgier than you might expect (he likes Camera Obscura?!), watching him talk about Questlove's drumming is kind of like watching your Dad talk about Gossip Girl and how much he relates to it.

Here's BriWi on his new project:

Okay, so I didn't name this thing, but I did come up with the idea. I have always loved identifying good music and good groups -- discovering them early (bar bands are best) and following them through their journey. While we'll interview some established musicians, mostly I'd like this to be a place where people can sample some of the great music being created every day, by talented musicians who wouldn't dream of doing anything else.

I thought it might be nice for MSNBC to have an online show where they let one of the Jonas Brothers talk about foreign affairs to counterbalance this. What do you think?

Can you help us out?
