Melbourne alt-soul collective Hiatus Kaiyote tricked out its avant-garde recording studio, The Villa, and lathered it with props: a miniature desk, alien costumes, and loads of furry friends. Frontwoman Nai Palm shared with me the impetus behind the design. I m a treasure hunter at heart, she said, and the beautiful thing about dressing a set with sentimental artifacts from my house is that I feel super comfy to perform. Every intricate detail of this Tiny Desk (home) concert evokes feelings of coziness, psychedelia and joyful performance art.

Pat Gray speaks matter-of-factly about taking her last unassisted steps just before her 13th birthday in 1953.
She says she’d been suffering from a gastro-intestinal illness for a few days. Her fever was high, and her mother was caring for her on a sofa in the dining room of the family’s Kansas City, Kansas, home.
Gray was miserable, so her mother suggested she move to her own bed.
“I remember getting up, going up the steps to my bedroom, and my legs just gave out. I didn’t make it the rest of the way up the steps; I had to crawl. That was the last time I walked,” Gray, now 80, says in the library of her Lenexa assisted living facility.
