Video: Jakob Dylan: Tiny Desk Concert Apr 04, 2010

Show notes

There have only been a handful of Tiny Desk Concerts where NPR employees have overflowed our modest office space, stepping away from looming deadlines to hear some music. Jakob Dylan and his touring companions, Neko Case, Kelly Hogan and Paul Rigby, joined those ranks when they stopped by to perform a mesmerizing, stripped-down set of songs from his latest record, Women and Country.

Video: Wye Oak: Tiny Desk Concert Mar 29, 2010

The Baltimore duo Wye Oak didn't have to travel far to liven up a day at the NPR Music offices. Wye Oak's four-song Tiny Desk Concert draws two songs from a new EP called My Neighbor/My Creator, another from 2007's If Children and an as-yet-unreleased song called "Civilian."

The Shins' James Mercer and the highly sought-after producer Danger Mouse just released their debut album as Broken Bells. Making one of its first-ever live appearances, the band appears on NPR Music's South By Southwest showcase at Stubb's in Austin, Texas, on March 17, 2010.

Late Night Dispatches From SXSW: Saturday Mar 21, 2010

Show notes

And so brings the beginning of the end. In their final late night dispatch from SXSW, Bob Boilen, Robin Hilton and Stephen Thompson have met up to retrace their steps and remember their favorite moments from Saturday at the festival, including a bittersweet tribute to Big Star's Alex Chilton.

Video: Vadoinmessico: Tiny SXSW Concert Mar 21, 2010

Show notes

After listening to over a thousand songs before attending the SXSW music festival, a song by an unknown band called Vadoinmessico stood out just about the most. The band is from Italy, Austria and Mexico, and they're based in London. It was a delight to hear them play their song "In Spain" in the grand Maxmillian room at the Driskill Hotel in Austin during South by Southwest.

Video: CALLmeKAT: Tiny SXSW Concert Mar 20, 2010

Show notes

CALLmeKAT is the recording moniker of Katrine Ottosen, a singer and musician from Copenhagen, Denmark with a lovely, delicate voice backed by electronics. Austin is noisy during SXSW and Ottosen's subtle and beautiful voice could easily be buried by the distorted din of bands playing in venues along the streets. But luckily we found an intimate, quiet room at the Driskell Hotel, an historic hotel in downtown Austin for Ottosen to perform her song "Bug In A Web"
