When it came time for NPR to move buildings in Washington, D.C., we couldn’t think of a better band than OK Go to help us out, which resulted in the most ridiculous Tiny Desk Concert ever.
Gotta hand it to NPR Music- this is an amazing video. But never forget OK Go’s first music video (featuring Peter Sagal, Ira Glass and other WBEZ hosts).

Mayor Emanuel recently called Chicago “the premiere destination in the music world,” but as the Midwest’s festival season kicks off this weekend the smaller crowds, rolling hills and pastoral Ohio setting of the Nelsonville Music Festival sound appealing to this city slicker. Though I’ve never been, it sounds like the younger sibling to Bonnaroo with less jam bands.

Central Music Hall, SE Corner of State and Randolph, 1880, Chicago.
The music hall was demolished in 1900 to make way for the new Marshall Field Department Store.
It’s important to remember where you came from.

Mutts get a jump start on “Summertime” - Well summer season is upon us, and so to – in Chicago – is the festival season. Do Division Street Fest is one of those fests. It starts Friday, and runs through the weekend. Chicago band Mutts will be part of that mix of music and festivities. They’ll perform on Sunday at the three-day event.
They recently joined us on the Morning Shift, and contributed a song to our ongoing Morning Shift Mash-Up series. It’s a song appropriate for the season – “Summertime.” The mash-up blends two songs of the same title, George Gershwin jazz standard, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s chart-topping hip-hop jam.
We captured the musical alchemy on tape, and serve up this here video.

Camera Obscura further refines its grab-bag of arm-swinging brunette soul, swaying country and lite disco. Desire Lines is more confident and direct than anything in the Scottish group’s catalog.
