Was it just me or did the air smell a little sweeter when you woke up this morning? We’ll see if President-elect Obama actually changes anything, but I feel good about where we’re heading. It’s also nice to see that a candidate backed by rock stars won. the Inaugural Ball circuit is gonna be killer.

Here’s our first Post-Obama victory link dump…

• M.I.A. covers Way Down In The Hole from The Wire
• The Hartford Advocate interviews Marco Benevento
• Jambase features some killer Of Montreal photos
• The producers of Home Before Daylight move closer to making a film based on Steve Parish’s life as a Grateful Dead roadie
• All signs point to Jeff Coffin joining the Dave Matthews Band
• Fuse strikes a deal to cover the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Finally, by all accounts Monday night’s Election Eve Ball thrown by HeadCount and Magic Hat was an incredible event. Mikey G details the highlights and we hear a recording of most of the sets will circulate soon. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Joss Stone, Scott Metzger, Marc Brownstein, Robert Randolph and others rockin’ Higher Ground…
