■ Artists have been doing Tiny Desk Concerts for NPR from their homes during the pandemic, so you’d be forgiven for doing a double-take at Billie Eilish’s installment in the series. Joined by brother Finneas, Eilish performs at what appears to be host Bob Boilen’s desk, complete with ephemera-stuffed shelves backing her. The video was filmed by Matty Vogel and art-directed by Henry Hickman, and you have to wait until the end of the 10-minute set (two songs, “My Future” and “Everything I Wanted”) to find out how they pulled it off.
