\n\tCan you imagine working at NPR<\/a>, sitting down at your regular-sized desk to report on politics, the environment, or science, and all of a sudden Napalm Death<\/a> sets up shop at the Tiny Desk next door? Well, you\u2019d just have to go check it out. And fortuitously, Napalm Death, who played a 19-minute set, espouse the same lefty politics as NPR, in fact maybe even a little more leftist, all things considered, since Barney Greenway wore a Crass T-shirt to the gig.<\/p>\n \n\tThe long-running death metal and grindcore group, which put out a collaborative album with Melvins called Savage Imperial Death March<\/a> <\/em>last year, kept the proceedings short and bittersweet. Their set list drew three songs from their influential debut, Scum<\/em> (fun fact: None of the band members in Napalm Death now played on that album), including their opening number, \u201cInstinct of Survival,\u201d and their parting shots, \u201cScum\u201d and their Guinness World Record\u2013awarded world\u2019s shortest song, \u201cYou Suffer.\u201d<\/a> (The lyrics are \u201cYou suffer, but why?\u201d which is really what NPR has been saying for years, right?)<\/p>\n
