I just recently stumbled across a gem of a series via NPR. NPR has really gone down hill lately (when they no longer gave impartial news stories) but they have some awesome music content!!
The tiny desk series of 'concerts' where artists go to the NPR studio and literally get behind someone's desk and will do a few tunes. It is usually a stripped down version of the band so there is no fancy technology to hide behind. If you have not already discovered this tiny desk series on youtube, then check it out!!!
Here are a few of my favorites to date:
the missus and I were lucky enough to catch these guys in Denver about 3 yrs ago:
great voice from Raphael:
If you are looking for something just totally manic and fun, then find the Gogol Bordello show in this series!!
There is a little bit of everything in this series, from Omara to Tom Jones to Jakob Dylan to Gyptian and on and on...check it out!
