Red Baraat‘s fusion of bhangra, go-go, hip-hop and jazz is driven by frontman Sunny Jain’s percolating playing of the dhol, a double-sided drum which forms the rhythmic lattice of support for their boisterous horns and guitar. And though Red Baraat graced the Tiny Desk five years ago, we had to have Jain’s band back to celebrate Holi, the Hindu festival of color, of good over evil, and the coming of spring. Usually you’d see the dusting of brightly colored perfumed powders strewn in the air, covering bodies and clothing. The notion of doing that in the office was a fun thought, but the band (with my nudging) opted instead for confetti cannons and passing candied treats. It made for quicker cleanup, but their uplifting spirits lingered on, giving us a chance to shake off the final days of winter and demonstrating why music is so essential to the soul.

Bhangra Pirates is available for pre-order now. (iTunes) (Amazon)

Deadpool changed the superhero game. It reminded the entire industry that an R rating isn’t a barrier to box office gold. It showed that a sense of humor and self awareness go a long, long way. And it proved that marketing campaigns don’t have to all follow the same formula of generic posters and teaser trailers.

That last part brings us here today. Deadpool 2 won’t hit theaters for another year, but Ryan Reynolds and new director David Leitch (John Wick) have put together a video to get fans hyped for more Deadpool. It’s not a teaser, though, it’s a short film called No Good Deed. Because, hey, if Pixar can put an adorable, inspiring short in front of all of their movies, why can’t Deadpool do something similar? Minus the adorable and inspiring part, of course.

Check it out.
