ADVENTURES WITH FRAN

Someone: Are you taken? Me: Ya for granted

There was not a dry eye to be found at NPR HQ when Tank and the Bangas performed at the Tiny Desk. This is one you don’t want to miss. 

Tank and the Bangas brought out all the feels here at NPR Headquarters when they made their victory lap around the Tiny Desk. If you haven’t heard them yet, they combine R&B with hip-hop’s poetry and rollercoaster storytelling, with a flair and alchemy that could only come from New Orleans. Their winning song, “Quick,” mixes liquor and revenge — a sort of modern day take on a great folk tale, but peppered with their own idiosyncratic flair and humor. — Meg Kelly

“A pain stabbed my heart, as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.” - Jack Kerouac, March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969
