- Beabadoobee’s ‘the perfect pair’ sounds like an indie ballad plucked straight out of a 2000s romcom 💞https://open.spotify.com/track/41P6Tnd8KIHqON0QIydx6a?si=-O3kFchjTJyf3fDsVNb4Xg
- What’s your fav Tiny Desk vocal performance? Been diving into some of the best singing in the series, and BTS’ Tiny Desk (Home) Concert from 2020 is up there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFYAXsa7pe8
A real dose of sonic sunshine, plus those ‘70s outfits and low-key dad moves are sealing the deal.

- "Picture this..."
Set in a grandiose space that envisions a global council meeting descending into a battle scene, DJ Shadow and Run The Jewels’ music video for 'Nobody Move' is a cinematic assailment of government.
DJ Shadow shares, "we wanted to make a positive, life-affirming (film) that captures politicians at their election-year best... We got this instead."
Note the year this vid debuted too: the cursed 2016. An annum filled with Cheeto Satan insanity, MAGA monstrosity, Tory horror, Brexit catastrophe, and others...
