Seattlest Exclusive: Mike Doughty Premier Video

Mike Doughty (yeah, he used to be in some other band) has a new album out this week, Golden Delicious. We saw him at the Triple Door in December for his Question Jar tour; he sat on stage and played songs (even one from that other band), occasionally drawing questions written by the audience from a large glass jar and answering them with charming humor and candor. Most felicitously, we didn't even have to ask "Hey Mike, will you make a little video of one of your new songs and dedicate it to our lovely Seattlest readers?" Because he just went ahead and did it anyways. That's how much he loves us. And you. Please enjoy "Fort Hood" and we'll hope the sun continues to shine around here for a little longer, too.

In case that little snippet simply whet your appetite for more, we're in good company this week. Stereogum posted a video on Monday, My Old Kentucky Blog did the honors Tuesday, Paste Magazine was in the queue Wednesday, and you can catch one last video gem at SF Station tomorrow.
