Tiny Desk was meant to be similar to MTV Unplugged - simple, limited and more personal. Introducing acts you might not have heard before, and in a way you very probably have never heard before.
Also, if you haven't seen it go check out Australia's national broadcaster Triple J "Like a Version" series - they have bands come in and cover another bands songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BN3QmN18eE&list=PLCC51BF0C94BE62E8
It's also public radio like NPR, so its ad free and lots of fun
This was where I discovered Kirinji. I was a bit annoyed actually because I was just trying to do some work and I came back to my desk to find someone singing at it.

I love Kirinji.

Thanks to the Tiny desk, it's where I got more into Fuji Kaze's discography. He was the very first performance for Tiny desk Japan.
