The now infamous Lana Del Rey stopped by BBC Live Lounge to deliver a lovely, low-key performance of my favorite song of 2011. Love or hate it, Born to Die is out tomorrow.

Björk “Crystalline” Live on Jools Holland
If it’s been a while since you’ve seen a Bjork performance, here is a good refresher. She did Biophilia’s “Crystalline” on Jools Holland last week with a choir of girls in gold dresses hopping along to keyboard bells and then breaking it down to an electronic drum solo. It’s so great. I haven’t listened to [...]

Florence and the Machine “Take Care” (Drake Cover)
Florence and the Machine covering Drake’s “Take Care”, which samples the beat from Jamie xx’s remix of Gil Scott Heron’s “I’ll Take Care of You”, which is actually a cover of a Brook Benton song. Amazing.

M83 “Midnight City” Live on Jimmy Fallon
M83 visited Jimmy Fallon last night to absolutely destroy “Midnight City” from the band’s latest LP Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. If you like double albums full of songs that are just as good as this one you’d probably love it.

WU LYF “Wicked Game” (Chris Isaak Cover)
I tweeted a few weeks ago that I did not approve of “Wicked Game” covers (that everybody has). I do, however, approve of “Wicked Game” covers if they sound like this. WU LYF has been playing the song on their current tour, above via decent video from La Cigale in Paris. Record this. Go Tell [...]
