Post Malone hat mit “Austin” für mich eines der bisher besten Alben des Jahres veröffentlicht, das hier seit Wochen in Heavy Rotation läuft. Ich liebe so ziemlich alles daran , bin aber eh Riesenfan von Posti. Für mich einer der besten Popmusiker der Jetztzeit. Schön, dass er nun NPR für ein Tiny Desk Concert besucht hat, das gerne auch dreimal so lang hätte sein können. Mindestens.
Ein KommentarSchlagwort: Tiny Desk
Um 50 Jahre HipHop zu feiern, besuchten Cypress Hill die Studios von NPR, um dort ein Tiny Desk Konzert zum Besten zu geben.
While the term “pioneer” is used loosely in pop culture today, few terms describe Cypress Hill’s impact over the past three decades more adequately. They are the first Latino hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum status. B Real, Sen and producer DJ Muggs crafted a sound in the ’90s that stretched beyond regional boundaries. It was dark, psychedelic and at times directly addressed mental health before the topic was commonplace. Many dismissed the group as “stoner rappers,” yet the members were fervent advocates for the legalization of weed long before it came to fruition.

Vielleicht das echteste aller echten NPR Tiny Desk Concerts: das Boston Typewriter Orchestra spielt eine orchestrale Schreibmaschinen-Symphonie.

Schon am Wochenende wohlwollend zur Kenntnis genommen, aber jetzt erst zum Hören gekommen. Als DJ so gar nicht meine Kanne Brause, als Musiker, Instrumentalist und Produzent dann aber doch außerordentlich gut: Fred again… mit seinem Tiny Desk Concert. Hört sich sehr gut weg.
When Fred again.. first proposed a Tiny Desk concert, it wasn’t immediately clear how he was going to make it work — not because he lacked creativity, but because translating purely electronic music at the Desk is a daunting task for anyone. How would an artist, whose performances take the form of DJ sets in front of massive audiences, curate an intimate and unique experience? But what the British songwriter and producer came up with is a reminder of what a Tiny Desk is at its best: an opportunity for artists to challenge themselves in such a way that it almost feels like they’re making new music, all while sticking to what feels true to them.

Jugendliches Geschrammel von den Linda Lindas bei einem Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. Find’ ich gut.

2 KommentareDie wundervolle Alicia Keys spielt für NPR ein Tiny Desk Concert – und ich habe instant Gänsehaut. Wie verdammt gut sie ist. Und die Band. Und der Rahmen dafür. Alter! <3
This performance was recorded on Feb. 12, 2020. We will continue releasing Tiny Desk videos of shows that had already been taped. In light of current events, NPR is postponing new live tapings of Tiny Desk Concerts. In the meantime, check out Tiny Desk (home) concerts! They’re recorded by the artists in their home. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.June 17, 2020 | Abby O’Neill — On a brisk February morning, Alicia Keys, full of effervescence, entered NPR through the loading dock wearing a canary yellow faux fur coat. During our ride to the fourth floor, she joked about how she hadn’t been invited to play at the Tiny Desk. That, of course, wasn’t exactly true. We worked on and off for years to make this moment happen, and I can say wholeheartedly that it was worth the wait.
Alicia Keys has an aura that you can sense the second she enters a room, or in my case, an elevator. She radiates compassion and kindness. This spirit is the key to Keys’s songwriting, which is rooted in introspection and mindfulness.
As she approached her piano, a bit surprised at the amount of people in the room, she smiled and remarked over her shoulder, “Gee, the Tiny Desk is tiny!” She kicked off the set with an uncanny ode to combat the darkness of this moment in American history: “Show Me Love,” a single she released in 2019. No one could have predicted then how much her lyrics and musical healing would be crucial during this emotionally fraught time of unprecedented political and racial unrest, heightened by three months of quarantine due to a global pandemic.
The stand-out moment during her Tiny Desk was the premiere of “Gramercy Park”, a song from her upcoming self-titled album, ALICIA, which is set to be released this fall. It’s one of those timeless songs that will transcend radio formats and genres, with lyrics that address how utter selflessness and worrying about making everyone happy but yourself can throw your own center askew. The song’s spiritual refrain is sure to be a sing-along moment for the rest of Keys’s career.

Das Tiny Desk Concert von NPR steht immer für ganz kleine, exklusive Konzerte, für die schon immer jede Menge interessanter Künstler eingeladen wurden. Die der wirklich guten auch meistens. Nun hat man die Muppets der Sesamstraße um eine musikalische Audienz gebeten. Und ein Teil derer kam auch.
