3. NPR Music Tiny Desk Concerts
Tiny Desk Concerts are a true gift to every music nerd. The idea behind this epic video series is to challenge artists to think outside the box. They must set up a live performance using only the space of a desk area, so you can imagine how crazy things get. Memorable ones include Adele, Chance the Rapper and more. We can't help but go down a hole once we start watching them on YouTube.

Dedicated to helping people discover the best new music, this is the type of blog you need in your life if your taste is all over the board. Due to the constant outpour of tunes on Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services, it's easy for some of the best new material to fall through the cracks. Covering all genres, Majestic Casual does all the work for you by selecting music with good vibes by a variety of talented artists.
