Angel Olsen - Tiny Desk
Remember when T-Pain obliterated his critics? Remember when Billie Eilish greenscreened it? Remember Sesame Street, Erykah Badu? Did you know Vic Chestnutt did one before he passed? It’s buried in the archives, the second Tiny Desk ever performed.
Before #content and links-in-bios, before “new music discovery” got flattened into meaninglessness, there was Tiny Desk. This humble, simple little series that showed us a few bands we loved and a few we could fall in love with. Lights up, one mic, a couple songs. Is there a better way to get to know someone?
This is just a tiny cross section of the JAG Tiny Desks we love. Spend the day with them, and send one hundred salutes to Bob Boilen as he departs @nprmusic after an incomparable run. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
