Sometimes it pays to wander aimlessly along the Infobahn, turning over rocks just to see what’s underneath.
Don’t neglect those exit ramps, side streets and back alleys.
And for God’s sake, get the hell off of that L.A. Freeway.
• Bonus track: Robert Ellis on NPR’s “Tiny Desk.”

Feels like, for most of 2019, we’re get caught and also killed
Makes a fella want to get down the road in a cloud of smoke, for sure.
Those Tiny Desk Concerts are the shit. So many good ones. Used to be able to access them on the NPR Music app, but when they consolidated everything into NPR One, I think they fell off the features list.
Yeah, I’ve really enjoyed them. Annie Clark/St. Vincent did one last year, and Bob Boilen — expecting the full St. Vincent shred-fest — was surprised to see her turn up with one steel-string acoustic guitar.
And, don’t forget John Prine and Tower of Power.
And George Funkin’ Clinton with the P-Funk All Stars!
