Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.

Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

I obviously disagree about this one sucking, but all 3 of those are amazing.

One place this one differs from a lot of other great Tiny Desks is that he sounds very different from his songs, where the others may sound stripped down, but the sing isn't really changed that much. His style relies so much on production effects, it makes sense he can't simulate that in the NPR studio.

That said, I personally think he still sounds great. It just changes up how he hasto perform a lot. I think I get where you are coming from though.
