Tiny Desk Concert No. 200 : NPR

Posted on by

On March 5th NPR ran it’s 200th concert in it’s Tiny Desk Concert series. I ran across this treasure trove of live music shorts last year and meant to explore it further. Well, here they are at 200. What a great concept and NPR pulls it off nicely; each concert is  well executed and recorded with guitars and vocals coming across very close and warm. Here’s the link and the video for their 200th show, featuring the smoking hot voice of Laura Gibson.

Edit:  Sorry, couldn’t get her video embedded. The NPR Youtube feed doesn’t have it up yet. Here’s another great one instead, Trombone Shorty, enjoy:

The State of Hockey Broadcasting in the US

Posted on by

So this happened last night on NBC between Mike Milbury and Jeremy Roenick while discussing a questionable hit on Chris Letang last night:

The issue at hand aside, if you’re not overtired and frustrated with hockey analysis and play by play broadcasting in the US then you just haven’t been watching or listening. But I do love analysts like Roenick who tell it like it is and keep the player and coach slurping to a minimum. Is it wrong to wish Roenick would have beat the shit out of Milbury and then taken over NBC’s hockey analysis?
