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.

The War On Drugs made their television debut last night on Fallon with Slave Ambient’s wonderful “Baby Missiles” and Questlove on drums. (Audio Perv)
