The hot new music video from The Guild, written by net-heartthrob Felicia Day and Jed Whedon and performed by Day and the rest of the Guild cast members (with Maurissa Tancharoen dancing and singing backup vocals, I believe), hit the web today and immediately leveled up to #1 in the iTunes Music Videos and held firm. And good, because it's a great pop song in its own right that becomes more addictive the more you listen to it.

Besides, how cool is it that a largely home-made music video by a group of talented geeks pushed Taylor Swift to #2?

Watch it for free above, check out the lyrics here, buy the video at iTunes and get the MP3 from Amazon And get ready for season three of The Guild to start August 25th on Xbox Live and September 1rst on MSN/ZUNE.

It's not at iTunes yet but they usually release new stuff on Tuesdays, so here's hoping.

"Remains" was written and performed by "Dollhouse" writers Maurissa Tancharoen & Jed Whedon (who also wrote the script for this episode) and released on their "Nervous Circus" label. And it's gorgeous.

"Epitaph One," which was supposed to premiere at the San Diego Comic-Con next week, was leaked to the torrents last week along with the unaired pilot. You're on your own finding it, but if you do download it please buy it anyway when it comes out on the 28th. You'll also get commentary on two episodes, lots of deleted scenes, and several hefty features. Order it from Amazon for just $31.99!

burn down my home
my memories hardened in the brightest chrome
good times escape
while every mistake seems to be caught on tape…

And if you haven't yet voted for the winner of the Dollhouse Season One DVD set, please do! Ten entries were chosen for you to select from, and one random winner from all the entries will also be chosen. Vote!

He's out and home now, but filkers don't generally have really good health insurance and every little bit helps.

Tom has been a regular presence at zillions of cons across the nation, he produces new and hilarious songs every week or so (when he's feeling better), and he even lets you have many of them for free at his site and in his weekly RSS feed. Such as, say, his song "I'm on Firefly."

So some of his friends and fans have put together a tribute CD of covers of his songs, which you can download for any donation at all. There's some great stuff here, not the least of which is Browncoat favorite Michelle Dockrey (and Tony Fabris) performing Tom's award-winning "Rich Fantasy Lives." I strongly urge you to send him anything you can and enjoy some great, funny, touching music.
