LANA DEL REY — Video Games (Live on David Letterman)

This is exactly what she needed to do on SNL! It might be too late for most people, but this was a near flawless performance.

If you’d like to spend a quiet night in, you should spend it watching Joanna Newsom on PBS, as they will be airing her Austin City Limits set tonight at 9:30. This is a preview of the show — the song is Bridges and Balloons.

Fleet Foxes are also performing, I think.

I’d like to see this film, The Perception of Moving Targets, that Grouper scored.

Not her best, but not as bad as some people are making it out to be. Wish she hadn’t used that weird voice again.

Watch Grimes play her latest single ‘Genesis’ live for Pitchfork & Yours Truly.

Check out The War On Drugs’ TV debut, performing ‘Baby Missiles’ off their latest album, Slave Ambient, on Jimmy Fallon last night [via The Audio Perv].

Check out the extremely colorful video for the new Black Dice song, ‘Pigs.’ Pitchfork reports that they’ll have a new album out this April, which will be called Mr. Impossible.

I don’t understand why she insists on singing with that strange accent when she performs live, and also why she insists on adding seemingly random vocal runs to almost every line of the song. Or why she insists on squeezing in a ‘now’ or ‘lately’ at the end of ‘This is all I think of…’

So far I think her best live performance of ‘Video Games’ was the appearance she did on Jools Holland.

Watch tUnE-yArDs play ‘Bizness,’ one of my favorite tracks of 2011 from one of my favorite albums of the year, on Jimmy Kimmel last night. JK’s performance space is kind of gross!
