Friday’s Leftovers

There’s nothing quite like finishing the long week after the Thanksgiving holiday — we’re a mere three weeks from Christmas and four weeks from New Year’s. But before you get all weekend aggro out there, check out these sexy links:

• George Harrison passed away five years ago this week. In honor of one of my favorite musicians of all-time, check out this amazing video of George and Paul Simon performing Here Comes The Sun and Homeward Bound
• Talented artist Jake Krolick has teamed up with Jambands.com to present a Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood comic
• Umphrey’s McGee has added a few dates to their Winter 2007 tour since we posted the initial announcement
• Here’s an interesting interview with David Crosby
• VH-1 is producing a series of Rock Docs, such as The Return of Courtney Love, 1977, A.K.A. Tommy Chong, and Air Guitar.

• Great headline: What if Pink Floyd gave birth to Ummagumma in The Band’s basement?
• One of our favorite writers, Double J Jesse Jarnow, has been quite prolific recently, or “prolific as fuck” as I like to say
• Neddy presents a review of Benevento/Mathis/Chamberlain
