And later: Better known to indie rock as "Smog," Bill Callahan has released more than a dozen haunting albums over the last two decades.

I Want My 'Net TV
MTV is attempting to shake up its Video Music Awards telecast this Sunday. But the real creativity in music videos is taking place online. We'll hear how social-networking sites and digital tools have altered the creation, distribution, and raison d’être of music videos. We talk with Wired magazine columnist Eliot Van Buskirk and music video director Patrick Daughters, who has worked with Feist, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and many others.

Bill Callahan
After 15 years working under the monicker "Smog," Bill Callahan released his latest album under his own name. Woke on a Whaleheart is more upbeat and straightforward than past efforts, with hints of gospel, pop, and even the Rolling Stones. He performs live in our studio.
