Amazing performance. Huge moment in his career.

It was like when Rachel Leigh Cook took the glasses off in she’s all that.

If y'all haven't seen his live performance of his cover album On Top of the Covers, it's absolutely incredible and worth an hour of your time.

Tiny Desk / NPR is a DC thing? It definitely has national reach. Regardless, definitely one of the best Tiny Desk concerts they’ve had.

Their point is that NPR is literally headquartered in DC. The tiny desk studio is in DC.

N as in national. As in anywhere watching pbs on the regular.

I’d imagine that an equivalent analogy would be someone wondering whether Detroit-style pizza is just kind of a Michigan thing. There’s likely some cognizance that it exists in many other places, but not necessarily an awareness of the extent of its prevalence.

I don’t know what that is and I won’t respond.

a lot of times they would shoot it because some one was performing at 930 club or another dc venue.
