Bob Boilen is the creator of NPR Music's All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts. This is a running list of what he's listening to right now, updated weekly. Most of the songs are recent, but occasionally he will toss in a few older tunes that pop into his head or feel relevant.

In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
