This video is great. I love your review of something beyond albums which are great too!

I still dont know what we missed?

"...and then then I cranke'd it 30 db" Engineers and Producers PAY ATTENTION! Stop sniffing and put down the cork! How many engineers/producers do you know who dare to do that without second guessing/doubting such an extreme action? How many do you know that would actually even try something like that in the first place? My guess: very few... if any at all... A perfect example of what happens when you got the balls and the determination to do something next level; you set a new standard for others to follow.

the comment about a tiny desk being a snapshot of an artist at a specific moment in time is so true. the mitski tiny desk happened like two weeks before i saw her live fore the first time, which was the first time i'd heard of her, and it captures the same sound of that set where half the audience left before her set because the audience was elvis depressedly. and mitski has never sounded like that since

T-Pain is first on my list.

I actually really love this video but OMG did it make me finally understand what the millennial pause is. 😅

I love that your 3 standout performances are also the ones I remember. I had no idea these were more generally revered.

I hate when Tiny Desk artists bring a 10-piece band and 5+ background singers. Like that defeats the purpose of the tiny desk concept, imo.

So he records it and then mixes it.

I kind of disagree on some points. Sure we can all agree that he's a technically gifted musician, but jamming as many advanced theories and voice leading into your song when the chords or harmonies don't really serve the intended purpose or matches the meaning of the lyrics doesn't make it compelling art. It makes it unnecessary and busy work. Sure some people might argue that they appreciate the skill that goes into it, but can they actually admit to themselves that this music moves them emotionally? IMO, Jacob's at his best when he's working to improve on another existing vision, like producing for another artist, where he has to work within the confines of someone else's creative space. By himself, he doesn't know how to reign in all these ideas that he has to make emotionally compelling music.

Patreon when?

Favorite Three: Erykah Badu - a musical narrative with pure vocals Jacob Collier - infectious energy, pure creativity, deep knowledge The Philharmonik - why I follow TD, so many bands to be discovered Honorable Mention: Justin Timberlake - a great megamix of hits

My favorite TDCs are Juvenile and Megan Thee Stallion. Really enjoying Chappell Roan now.

Monsieur Periné and Cornelius were two of my favorites - but ALL soooo good!

I reaaaaaaaally recommend the Catriel and Paco Amoroso tiny desk. Absolute banger after banger, it's impossible to feel sad while listening to it

Hang out with a group of 🌈 any evening and watch how important/loved music videos are. Visualizer and Lyric videos are fine but the official MV is always searched for first

Would love to see an Elton John Deep Discog Dive!

Juvies concert should be on that list at number 4, that was a whole thing.

I will be forever impressed by anyone recording drums/vocals at the same time in the same space. Drums are so loud and vocals are so quiet.

mac miller and anderson paak are two of my favorite tiny desk concerts.

Collier is a youtube musician. Nearly all of his music is only compelling when explained. He's not a good songwriter, and he can't compete with them. Steve Reich is like the same kind of innovative wacko but he actually made something worthwhile.

No Name, Julien Baker, Benjamin Clementine, Car Seat Headrest, Keaton Henson, among my favorites!

What a lovely video, no notes Micky Snare

Greetings from Aotearoa/NZ. Great vid, thank you. Esp love that Josh Rogosin highlighted 2 of my all time TD faves (A Paak & M Miller obv!)

9:15 Man, some Tiny Desk Sessions sound MUCH MUCH better that the official studio releases. Many times I've felt dissapointed that the record lacked the vibe the NPR session had. Flat musicias tend to sound boring, like IMO Taylor Swift or Maluma, but when the vibe is there, it's not only larger than life, it's larger than the Official Releases.

randy newman's, 'she chose me' , music in all it's beauty

I hate his music passionately, but there are a lot of artists I dislike so it's no big deal

So no head?

I’ve rewatched that Anderson Paak show so many times!

I’m a location sound person by profession and a musician by hobby. I’m curious to know about the gear used. I see a lot of shotgun mics (it’s the icon of the show) used. I’ve made demos with my field recorder before. I’ve done jobs recording bands in remote spaces with lavs (tiny desk wannabees). Is there more from the interview with (I’ve forgotten his name already) the tiny desk engineer?

Your tax dollars at work. Pure mediocrity

I mute the other mics 😂 wow amazing

Listen to Dodie and Fred Again's Tiny Desk performances. The sound engineering is extraordinary.

❤❤❤

I could not agreee more with this video. This is maybe the video on YT I agreee the most with! Exept for one point. I love his music.

I still think clipping. absolutely RAN Tiny Desk with their set, it was fuckin insane

These types of games were actually parodied in the music video for “Californication”

Tiny desk actually gets its name not from the tiny desk. But from host Bob Boilens old band Tiny Desk Unit in the 70s. They actually have the honor of being the first band to play the historic 9:30 Club in DC! Love a bit of local history

Most episodes, the stripped down nature of the experience pulls artists completely out of their comfort zones, making for beautiful moments of surprise-for us and the artists. Great concept and execution, Josh!

I think concerts are getting louder because everyone has hearing loss from loud concerts or is wearing earplugs so it doesn't seem as loud so they turn out up 😅

Tiny Desk and Playing for Change are some of the best "live" recordings and visual presentations going today. 👍👍👏👏👏

Nice

TINY DESK is the salvation from spotify and YT and a way to really see and hear talented that at times are underrated. I’ll be grateful forever for all the goodies i’ve found there for my soul and ears

birds of a feather is NOT the top 1 hit me hard and soft song... really overrated, chihiro and lamour de ma vie are on top

simply LOVE these, have been a fan for years some of my favourites: - Erykah Badu - Liniker e os Caramelows - H.E.R. - CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso - Flo Milli

This might sound fanfic-y, but I honestly wonder if Kurt Cobain, had he not died, would've considered joining forces with Pearl Jam in their fight against Ticketmaster. Given Kurt's history of poverty as a child and views on capitalism, it's not too hard to imagine him being very supportive of the cause. One of the biggest bands of the time might not've been able to stop them, but maybe two could.

post Malone 😢

"essentially every living artist has done one" okay buddy calm down a little bit

now please mr mic the snare teach more about J-POP the music that asian people knows from the anime opening songs and shit like that
