If you like concerts, but don't like going out or if you like desks, but hate work NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series is your new pal. Our old pal Bill Callahan performed just such a concert last summer and it's pretty much the be-all/end-all of internet music videos. Callahan released his second album under his own name a little before, and, as usual, it changed the way we think of Bill Callahan. Callahan's best songs have always been about either birds or trees and on Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, he manages a song that's about both birds and trees. It's the last song on his Tiny Desk Concert.
Other recommended TDCs:
- Lightning Dust just killing it and sounding so warm and close and different from their albums.
- Raphael Saadiq, formerly of Tony! Toni! Tone! and my dad's favourite neo-soul artist.
- Kurt Wagner of Lambchop, real nice.
- Vic Chesnutt, who we miss.
