It’s a time to make sure everyone’s in tune and in balance, everyone’s blocked properly for the cameras, and every piece of recording equipment is doing its job the way it’s supposed to, but it’s not as if anyone’s rolling tape for posterity. Sometimes, Tiny Desk artists do their sound check [See More…]

Betty Who was in town recently for a three-night residency at D.C.’s famed 9:30 Club where her sound was larger than life. The subwoofers cranked out backing tracks you could feel in your gut and dancers flanked the pop star, punctuating every pulsating beat. But she began her Tiny [See More…]

Billy Corgan: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Nov. 20, 2017 | Robin Hilton — Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is a complicated guy. In the years since that iconic and much-beloved rock band broke up in 2000, Corgan has continued to put out music under various names and projects – including several releases as Smashing Pumpkins, with different lineups – while often stumbling through a bumpy minefield of his own making. To the head-scratching surprise of some longtime fans, he’s gotten heavily involved in pro wrestling, talked conspiracy theories during several appearances on The Alex Jones Show (warning of weaponized zombies in one interview), and, over the [See More…]

Chronixx: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Sept. 27, 2017 | Abby O’Neill — Reggae has long been the most vivid musical escape for me. Its soul-cleansing riddims always feel familiar and cozy, like rushing into your lover’s arms after a significant time away. This is especially true for roots reggae, whose staccato guitar licks, billowing bass, and sonic splashes on a canvas of negative space, are like salve for the soul. The mid-tempo pulse varnishes heads with Kool-Aid grins and daydreams of living beachside amid nature’s unrestricted beauty. Given all that, you can understand why I’ve been obsessed with Chronixx lately. At a time when dancehall [See More…]
