Better Oblivion Community Center: Tiny Desk Concert
Tiny Desk alums Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers surprised us all with their stunning collaboration this year as Better Oblivion Community Center. Together they radiate joy at the desk.

When this fabulous new duo arrived for their Tiny Desk, it felt like old friends coming home. Both and are Tiny Desk alum. Conor's came during his Upside Down Mountain Tour in 2017 and then as part of another creative and collaborative endeavor with and as in 2018. So, unlike the bundle of nerves that often come with an appearance at the NPR offices, this one was fun and, at times, silly, like when Conor Oberst sang into a fake rubber microphone on the other end of a chopstick that was sitting on my desk. But there was nothing trivial about the songs or the collaboration.
