music I love (npr tiny desk concert series).

I love discovering new bands. Or old bands for that matter. Really, I just love music. And bands. 

Few people have a variety as wide as NPR's music department. Their Tiny Desk Concert Series is one of my favorite ways to find new music. 

Bands from all different genres visit the studio and cram themselves and their instruments into the NPR music office for a great live jam. 

They've had musicians like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. 

And a band I am head over heels in love with, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. 

And some of my other favorites, like Brandi Carlile, Passion Pit, Grouplove, or Wilco. 

Or the sweet Civil Wars. 

Or our queen, Adele. 

Once they even fit all 17 members of The Polyphonic Spree in the room (clown car style) for a Christmas session. 

The archives go back so far that you could spend forever watching great bands performing great music. 

On a rainy day, or a quiet afternoon or when you're in need of something new, cozy up to your laptop and explore the Tiny Desk Concerts. 

Something new and wonderful is guaranteed.
