The YouTube video Lee Fields: Tiny Desk Concert by the YouTube channel NPR Music:
Here is the description for this video:
This year’s Black History Month celebration at the Tiny Desk features a carefully crafted lineup spanning many genres, generations, and walks of life.
Each artist represents the best in their class and will be performing at the Tiny Desk for the first time.
Stephen Thompson | February 10, 2023
You can’t see it on the screen, but there’s a piece of paper taped to the Desk in front of Lee Fields throughout the R&B, blues and soul veteran’s long-awaited Tiny Desk debut.It’s got the set list, of course, but also an instruction to the singer: “NO AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION!!!!”
It speaks to Fields’ legendary showmanship — he’s often been dubbed “Little JB” due to his similarities to the hardest-working man in show business — that his team felt a need to rein in his generous impulse to work any crowd before him, knowing the time constraints of a Tiny Desk concert.
It speaks further to Fields’ showmanship that he ended up ignoring the directive: By the time he got to the set-closing “Two Jobs,” which features a call-and-response listing the hours in the day, he was yelling, “I want y’all to count the hours!”
Though pandemic-era protocols limit the size of the Tiny Desk crowds these days, Fields got the shouts of approval (and participation) he was seeking, as he barreled through three songs from last year’s Sentimental Fool and one relative oldie from a career that stretches all the way back to the late ’60s: the self-explanatorily titled “Ladies,” from his 2009 album My World.

Here is the description for this video:
For the third year, Tiny Desk concerts team up with globalFEST for a thrilling online music festival — Tiny Desk meets globalFEST.
Bob Boilen | January 27, 2023
Hosted by Angélique Kidjo, the series echoes globalFEST’s live flagship event in spirit but is centered in the framework of the Tiny Desk concert series.This collaboration presents exclusive video performances from nine artists filmed in their respective homelands, on the road and in exile all over the world.
There will be three nights of concerts, each featuring three bands, on consecutive nights beginning Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. ET.
The globalFEST team wrote the following biographical information about each performer.
Dakh Daughters, Ukraine
Dakh Daughters create an atmosphere of a French saloon, where Mireille Mathieu befriends Marilyn Manson.On occasion, armed with a full set of strings, keyboards and percussion, the women shake the audience with a roar in the manner of the group Laibach, but can swiftly exchange anger for kindness, turning into fun-loving, Hollywood beauties of the 1950s who dream of tropical vacations in the Caribbean.

“Fellini”

The YouTube video Soccer Mommy: Tiny Desk Concert by the YouTube channel NPR Music:
Here is the description for this video:
Andrew Flanagan | January 18, 2023
When Sophie Allison says to our friends and coworkers assembled around the desk, “We’re finally doin’ it,” she really means it.
A little less than exactly three years ago, Allison had just released the wonderful Color Theory as Soccer Mommy; it’s an album that marked significant strides in her songwriting and production.’
A big year was doubtless in store for her and her bandmates… and we all know how that went.
The band’s visit to the Tiny Desk, scheduled for March 30, 2020, was the first of many to be canceled due to the pandemic.
That time in history required a lot of lemonade-making from all of us; we at NPR Music and beyond were lucky that, not too long after lockdown had sunk its teeth in, Soccer Mommy was the first to record a Tiny Desk (Home) performance for us.
It was an early, much-needed sign that life might still be waiting for us on the other end.
But, as we’ve learned well, there’s no replacement for proximity.
With all of that indelibly in mind, it was particularly lovely and emotional welcoming Sophie, guitarist Julian Powell, keyboard player Rodrigo Avendano, bassist Nickolas Widener and percussionist Rollum Haas, finally, to the Tiny Desk.
Their four-song set, with work from each era of Soccer Mommy’s catalog, is beautifully performed and contoured. Welcome back to your debut, Soccer Mommy.

The YouTube video Goldfrapp – Human by the YouTube channel Strange Peer:
Here is the description for this video:
T’chut… 😉
They fall
From your mouth
Propelled by your belly
And your tongue
I shiver when you shake
And fold into jelly
I think I loved you more than meAre you human
Or a dud
Are you human
Or d’you make it upMy baby cherry slipped
Pass me through your fingertips
Throw me down like an old rag
I’m not standing
Don’t look backAre you human
Or a dud
Are you human
Or d’you make it upAre you human
Or a dud
Are you human
Or d’you make it upThey went searching
For your body
They went looking but there’s nobody
Who smells like you
Who looks like you
You’re not human…tooAre you human
Or a dud
Are you human
Or d’you make it upAre you human
Or a dud
Are you human
Or d’you make it up#
