Sam Phillips' Tiny Desk Concert at NPR Music

The music of Sam Phillips unfolds like perfect, miniature pop dramas. Her album, "Don't Do Anything," is loaded with great ones.

These NPR guys have the funnest jobs ever - hiring great musicians from all walks of life and letting them play on their radio show, while they get to kick back, relax, and listen to the various works of sonic art. I envy these people :)P
