Jack really couldn’t help himself but to release half of his album before the album was supposed to come out. I love him.

[@made3]

Honestly, half of the bands these days do this

[@ceyoung952]

Somebody get this man a new pair of glasses - they be slippin

[@desmondn99]

I had to scroll down to the comments, couldn't take it anymore those glasses :-)

[@careyott]

the price of fashion

[@peterlarkin762]

It's kind of hilarious, they just won't stay. Look very expensive and don't function.

[@BathSaltsMex]

I hate you man. I wouldn't have noticed and now it's the only thing I can see...

[@andrewscott7445]

You can just tell that Jack loves everything about music, and that he puts his heart into every project.

[@sanderappel4499]

If you just say 'Hey, Jack, so, music eh?' He'll start talking for at least ninety minutes straight about music

[@divyaa3677]

count how many times jack had to push his glasses on his face in 91 so much that he had to take them off😭😭

[@diamondsprince]

[@colanuss4985]

91 times

i counted 13 but could be wrong lol

[@mehregan7018]

new bleachers music somehow always comes out when I'm feeling down and immediately makes me feel better and fall in love with music all over again

[@HeyThereImMatt]

91 is gonna be a special song. Also the sheer emotion Jack shows at the end of Chinatown shows how special and meaningful that song is. So happy I discovered this incredible band ❤️

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

I completely agree that 91 is a stand out song, the Bleachers are an incredible band, and Jack was very emotional signing all of the songs. From my repeated viewings of the concert, I think he is wiping away sweat as the heat of the venue continued to be an issue throughout the TDC? Not a critical point, but just an observation.

[@PentameronSV]

0:04 - *91* (3:24) 3:35 - *Stop Making This Hurt* (6:54) 7:06 / 8:26 - *Chinatown* (12:15) [12:23 - Tiny Desk team]

[@tyspenler15]

The descriptions to these videos are the hidden gem of Tiny Desk. It's nice to see someone articulate pay respect to all the artists.

[@zacnoel912]

I know! It's so nice to see people enjoying their music speaking English good, and a thang. 😁

[@JohnMushitu]

This rendition of 91 is one of those songs which just makes you wanna shed a tear 😭❤️

[@takahikomusic_98]

now I’m running and I can’t stop, I thought to myself I wanna get better, to somewhere that takes sadness of out saturday night..

[@Jakoshark220]

English major coming in to say that "She's here but she's not, and just like her I'm not home" and "You're here when you're not and just like you I can't leave" are the most god-tier lyrics I've heard this year. Bless you Jack

[@Achilles553]

can u explain it

[@jaspergobes]

It describes the desperate pain of a dying relationship. Both present but both not there in spirit. together​, but so very alone. 😢@@Achilles553

[@leyremolina1003]

This Tiny desk has been underrated. GIVE BLEACHERS THE LOVE THEY DESERVE!!

[@Allonenotalone]

91 is a beautiful song. "I know what what I'm not.".

[@andyisalwaysanxious8599]

I absolutely LOVE how layered, and experimental Jack is.. He's truly one of a kind 🍅

I wish I can watch you perform someday. Love from Nigeria

[@KaitlynMarieMusic]

i saw them in concert, and oh my gosh… the amount of TALENT, energy, and effort they had on that stage was just incredible. it blows my mind how these guys are better than 90% of the music on the charts, yet THEYRE SO UNDERRATED!! loved them so so much. jack was just the coolest, and i LOVED THE SAXOPHONE GUYS SO MUCH. 💚💚💚

[@its_emalee]

8:34 - instant chills. Yes.

[@AndreasGilbert666]

This is a 10/10. Can´t wait to see them live.

[@rencors9096]

I absolutely love how everyone in the band were smiling once they finished "Stop Making This Hurt", just a beautiful grin from everyone

[@charsuh5738]

saw these guys live last night and they were just phenomenal. the energy they have in stage is literally unmatched, and the show was just spectacular. if you get a chance, do not skip out on going.

[@uknowwhoiam5982]

This version of chinatown makes me feel the feelings I’ve never felt before, like a nostalgic but at the same time new kind of feeling if it makes sense?

[@clarissadesantiago8479]

Makes perfect sense

[@xiaohu2853]

This is the best version so far…

[@daniellep2715]

This version broke me.

[@ValforDragoon]

I can’t stop coming back and listening. I can feel soul bleeding into every note. Your music makes me feel things I’d long forgotten.

[@vibezforall99]

“91” is going to be the ultimate elegy of the millennial. and it will trickle to other generations as well, being a timeless piece of music. i love that it will be opening the album. my musical palette is anxiously waiting for this album. it’s insane how much i’m anticipating it.

[@JohnMushitu]

Hopefully this will make your day. Thank you, Bleachers and NPR music.

god i love jack more than anything he's a genius

[@scubabrannan]

Cut Jack some slack on the glasses pushup, as a long time glasses wearer, I completely feel for him, especially when he's making the kind of music he is. I do wonder, though, is he wearing a Future Farmers of America shirt.....growing up in rural Texas I kind of recognize the color and the badge but the never show it clear enough. Great tunz

[@kaitlintonti5757]

I love the point Antonoff makes about the album sounding like a group of people who wouldn't know if this was their last time playing - that's some serious artistic depth. Gotta love it.

[@gua610]

I cannot. Why is Jack so precious?

[@tiredprincess451]

this version of chinatown just made me cry tbh

Jack a& bleachers- I am so shocked at how unbelievable their talent is. The composition, lyrics, style and change up are a standing memory for why I love music.

[@think3rofficial]

Seriously one of the few albums this century that embody the spirit of ‘80s fun, from cover to finale.

[@lusa9934]

I CAN'T STOP CRYING OF HOW MUCH I LOVE JACK😭

[@meriemdhouibi]

I can clearly tell through every video of Jack antonoff playing music why the biggest artists gravitate toward him and want him to produce their albums. He is pure genius and seems incredibly lovable and easily adaptable! All of my all time favorite songs, he had something to do with. An icon!

[@marcob868]

For God sake someone give that man a hug at the end of Chinatown♥️
