OPEN POST: Tiny Desk Global and Eclectic

Why not some Tiny Desks for Wednesday? They come from Ukrainian Experimental Folk, Japanese All-Girl Punk, Soulful Spanish Guitars, Ecuadorean Swiss, and Saharan Africa. I threw in some Caroline Polachek, heavily influenced by the 90s vocal styles.

I n case you were willfully ignoring the news this past Friday - and who can blame you? - the Trump administration popped a squat in the late afternoon and left us with quite the cow pie, or the transcripts of a recent interview with convicted pedophile pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, helpfully conducted by Trump's loyal lawyer minions. Never mind that she wasn't under oath, and never mind that her statements - "He was a gentleman in all respects," she cooed about Trump's social engagements with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein - are almost comically slavish. Or they would be if there weren't so many sickeningly abused girls and young women in the wake of this horror show.

She sat down, dimpled sweetly, and cooed, "I'm Lorna, and I have a problem only you can solve." I answered, "If you've got a problem I'm the dick ('40s slang for detective) for you." She relaxed and put her feet up: "Fatal Instinct," courtesy of MGM UA She told me, "I've got a plot of land in Brentwood and I don't know how best to maximize my profits on it." After taking a gander, I suggested, "Maybe the erection of a big skyscraper would be the best thing for your plot." That seemed to excite her. She said, "But my acreage has always been residential.  Would such a big erection be legal?" I replied, "Trus...
