Moving Pictures NPR's 'Tiny Desk' Concerts on YouTube
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Dunno if you've caught any of NPR's "Tiny Desk Concerts," but they're part of a wonderfully intimate little series. The videos have been hosted at NPR's website for a while now, but they were only viewable via the site's relatively unwieldy player. A couple of weeks ago, the NPRmusic YouTube channel started putting them up. Check out the above performance from Lambchop's Kurt Wagner; it includes a cover of Dylan's "You're a Big Girl Now."
Other awesome "Tiny Desk" performances include a be-hatted, semi-unplugged sesh from ass-kickers Dr. Dog, one from Vic Chestnutt (whose brain appears to be in deep space) and a totally weird one from Tom Jones. Enjoy.

Someone should make a comic book called 'The Adventures Of Vic Chesnutt In Deep Space'.
Yes, someone should.

If it was in fact called "Tiny Dicks," I don't think Tom Jones would have been permitted to play.
listen y'all.... vic chestnutt played the most awesome set I've ever seen him do with elf power backing him on a very frigid night in elliston a couple months back to like... maybe... a couple dozen people. he played the entirety of his new album which was even better live. shame more people missed it. is it just me or does kurt have some gomer pyle going on in this clip? bless em. someone from the cream posted lambchop's tour only cd of covers and it is so worth downloading.
