A Powerful Tiny Desk (Home) Concert From Austin: Black Pumas

MusicDecember 2020 • Views: 26,161

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Dec. 7, 2020 | Felix Contreras — The Austin-based rock band Black Pumas is having a good 2020. The group, led by singer Eric Burton and guitarist Adrian Quesada, was just nominated for three Grammys, including album of the year for Black Pumas (Deluxe Edition), and both record of the year and best American roots performance for the track “Colors.” The band’s turn behind a tiny desk (and chair) shows why its debut album — now more than a year old — is receiving so much recognition right now.

Black Pumas’ gritty, retro-soul groove is on full display, while the intensity level builds gradually throughout this four-song set. It’s clear why the band’s live shows have won over fans. From the opening strains of “Red Rover,” Burton digs deep and by the time we get to the ballad “OCT 33,” he’s burning with old-school soul heartbreak.

Quesada’s guitar is the perfect call-and-response foil, while the entire band — complete with two powerful back-up singers — calls to mind soul classics, but with a groovy new sheen.

I’ve seen some of Black Pumas’ shows in recent years and the band gets better every time out. The power of this Tiny Desk (home) concert shows that they always bring it, no matter the size of the audience.

SET LIST
“Red Rover”
“Fire”
“OCT 33”

I’m almost 100% sure he’s just trying to make it so that:

A. Joe Biden wins by less EV than he did in 2016 instead of equal or more.
B. Help give more life to the conspiracy theory so he can have a guaranteed grift for years.

I know the #HolidaySeason can be lonely for many humans. Maybe you’re not close to or don’t have family & friends. You may be ill, grieving, depressed, or having financial problems. Perhaps you’re an introvert and feel uncomfortable asking to be included in the celebrations. pic.twitter.com/ulTcQDAAJl

Re: the nomination of Austin for Secretary of Defense

A NYTimes opinion piece includes the following paragraph:

General Austin is a capable and respected former commander of Central Command, but he retired only in 2016. That’s not long enough: A civilian — not a recently retired general — should lead the Pentagon.

The legislators who negotiated the original security act believed only unique circumstances might dictate that a newly retired general or admiral should lead the Defense Department. They codified into law a 10-year cooling-off period (which Congress in 2008 reduced to seven years).

He was the Test Pilot’s idea of what a Test Pilot should be. Ice in his veins.

Back in WWII, his Jug, (a P-47) got the shit shot out of it over Europe.

He was nursing it back to England when a bunch of 7.96 Mauser shells started tearing his cockpit to pieces. German fighter flashes by. Chuck has just had most of his instruments shot out, but thanks to his armored seat, he’s not dead. Next thing he knows, he’s taking fire from the other side of his plane. He leaned back into the seat as the German fighter pulls up next to him, then peeked around the armor at the German pilot, who is grinning.

The German pilot gives the hand sign to knock it off. He’s out of ammo. He salutes Chuck and pulls away. Chuck makes it back to England.

Quite a guy.

I have 23 days in as of today. Thanksgiving week was a little crowded but manageable. I was at Crested Butte this weekend and lift queues were full, with 10-20 minute waits the norm. It’s quiet on weekdays for now. Christmas is going to crush us, we’re going to see lift lines like no one has ever seen.

Chuck has beaten the odds one last time, passing from natural causes at a grand old age. Along with my uncle Andrew (a double ace in the Pacific war) Chuck Yeager inspired me to become a pilot.

Sounds like our brother — but without the “Satan-worshipping pedophile” part. He’s been so confident for years that the Clintons are going to be arrested for all their crimes — involving their criminal dealings with Russia and China, their murder of Seth Rich, and their accepting bribes from foreign nations through their foundation. And of course, let’s not forget spying on the Trump campaign in 2016

On our long-running (26 years!) IRC channel, we have a woman who lives in Christchurch. She started talking today about how the killer got his weapon. “The firearms license process is what scares me.” She usually gripes about government regulations, but this was not that. In fact, it was a rant about how the NZ government’s regulations were trivial to bypass.

Basically, in order to get a license in New Zealand, you have to be “landed” (i.e., have some sort of permanent residency) for 15 days before you can apply. The Christchurch killer had just come over from Australia and had that status. Then you can pay your fee for your license, and put down two people as “referees” (meaning I guess they vouch for you). In the case of the killer, he put down his sister and an online gaming friend. The latter was aware of his racism and Islamophobia but didn’t disclose it.

It was also revealed that the gaming friend was known to police and NZ Customs having been caught trying to import a knuckleduster knife - considered an offensive weapon - in 2014, and a year later, four firearms parts without the necessary permits. He had been given a verbal warning by police and the items were seized.

(from an article she was quoting)

So yeah, the NZ permitting system has huge holes in it and it scares this otherwise very skeptical of government Kiwi I know.
