Damn it. There’s nothing less cool than something becoming cool.
Tiny desk are always instant plays for me. I wonder if NPR gains monetization from the views for their budget.
I wish the stations I can tune in to offered this, but they’re all talk and no Tiny Desk. It really is a great show.
If you like Tiny Desk, I recommend the Like A Version series by Australia’s Triple J radio station on YouTube. Some fantastic performances.
Along a similar vein, you can catch some cool live performances of lesser known acts on the KEXP youtube channel. They interview the artists too, which is cool. They often come up in search results for artists I look up on Youtube, and my music taste tends toward the indie (as in independent, not the sound genre).
I didn’t have my glasses on, and wondered why the Tiny Dick Concerts penetrated into my TL.
Found an interest in Sahara Rock from Tiny Desk. I’ve been listening to Tiny Desk videos for years.

With more than 1,100 tapings, Tiny Desk has drawn heavy comparisons to MTV’s groundbreaking “Unplugged” series of the ’90s, but there’s one major difference: It’s a true office space — not a recording studio or soundstage.
The concerts remained niche, but five years later, it exploded after then-producer Frannie Kelley booked T-Pain – the chart-topping rapper-singer — who delivered one of Tiny Desk’s memorable performances by shedding his Auto-Tune sound.
Many also had no idea that his guest, producer Mike Dean — most associated with some of Ye’s (Kanye West) biggest hits — was an early collaborator of the Geto Boys star, cutting his teeth with the pioneering southern label, Rap-A-Lot.
