Since late last year, NPR has been curating a library of live concerts on NPR.org. They must hav eput some interns in charge of booking, because it’s full of acts like The New Pornographers, Colin Meloy, the White Stripes, and the like. Also, inexplicably, James Brown. Well, I guess the explanation is that James Brown requires no explanation. My favorite part of the whole thing is probably the explanation on the NPR site: “Hear a mix of smart pop, new folk, country-rock, ambient dream pop and more.”
No kiddin’, NPR? I’ve been looking for a place to hear live concert streams of ambient dream pop, but I’d been having a really tought time. And you’re telling me you offer MORE than just ambient dream pop? I mean, I would have been happy with just ambient dream pop, but I can expect maybe some Agro-Dreamcore or Slumber-gaze in addition? DELIGHTFUL.
