The National perform "Sea Of Love" and "I Need My Girl" on Fallon

The National, performing two new tracks from the upcoming Trouble Will Find last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, debuted "Sea Of Love" and "I Need My Girl" as a bonus online exclusive. The first, the sweeping and National-esque rapture of "Sea Of Love," fit well as the TV showcase. The latter, however, worked endearingly well as slow-time showcase, demonstrating the band's unreal penchant for heart-wrenching burners.

Check out both performances below and grab Trouble Will Find May 21 on 4AD.

Jessie Ware on Fallon

Last night, emerging British singer Jessie Ware made her U.S. TV debut on always welcoming stage on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Sitting in on "Wildest Moments" are the always helpful and probably really nice guys in general, The Roots.

Check out the performance below, and grab her 2012 debut Devotion this April for its official U.S. release.

Wu Tang Clan on Fallon

It's big. Most (unfortunately) dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night to perform another stellar track from RZA's The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack, "Six Directions Of Boxing." The Roots and Black Thought admirably filled the void of the members who weren't in attendance (Raekwon, Method Man), including in a special rendition of "Protect Ya Neck."

Watch both performances below, and grab the soundtrack to The Man With The Iron Fists today.

Animal Collective on Fallon

A few days back when Animal Collective stopped by Conan to perform Centipede Hz's first single "Today's Supernatural," the results may have not been a solid as they hoped. Last night, changing the scheme up a bit, the band performed "Rosie Oh" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, complete with their touring decorations. And the results came out a lot smoother. See for yourself below.

Kendrick Lamar on Fallon

The Kendrick Lamar hype machine just keeps on moving. Last night, the Compton rapper dropped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to perform one of his earlier 2012 hits "Swimming Pools (Drank)" alongside The Roots. Check out the performance below, and don't forget to grab good kid, m.A.A.d city October 22. You probably didn't forget.

A$AP Rocky performs "Goldie" on Fallon

Garbed in all white (and off white) and tan boots, A$AP Rocky made his late night television debut last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to perform standout single "Goldie" alongside The Roots. The track comes from Rocky's long-awaited studio debut LongLiveA$AP, which is out September 11.

Yeasayer on Fallon

Celebrating the release of their brand new album Fragrant World, Yeasayer performed "Longevity," on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with bigger-than-you'd-expect stage props gracing the background of the artful pop performance. Check it out below and grab the album today.

Grimes on Fallon

Last night, Grimes made her U.S. debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, performing her standout track "Genesis" from last spring's Visions. Check out the live performance below.

Refused perform on Fallon

Last night, Swedish modern punk legends Refused made their late night television debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, to perform two of the more well-known tracks. The first, "New Noise," came during the shows broadcast, alongside the web-exclusive version of "The Shape of Punk to Come."

Check out both performances below.

Tom Waits on Fallon

A night after Tom Waits cruised through "Chicago," the opener from his latest album Bad As Me on The Late Show with David Letterman, the grizzled crooner made another NY stop on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Before his performance of "Raised Right Men," Waits sat down with Fallon for a short interview. You can check both out below.

Frank Ocean on Fallon; releases Channel Orange early

The momentous television premiere of Frank Ocean came shortly after the early-scheduled release of Channel Orange, which you can expect to have a lot of hype around it by now. That album, by the way, is available for free stream here.

In debut performance, Ocean dropped an orchestrated rendition of "Bad Religion" along with the always-appreciated help from The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Check it out below.

Tom Waits on Letterman

In the first of two giant performances from last night, Tom Waits performed the standout track from last year's Bad As Me, "Chicago." Full of jittery pulsations and the classic Tom snarl, it's the scratchy jolt you can only expect of him.

Check it out below.

The Walkmen on Fallon

Last night The Walkmen made their first run in a probable string of late night television performances supporting their new album Heaven, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Check out the supreme title track below, along with a bonus performance of "The Love You Love."

Andrew Bird on Fallon

Following his two-song performance on The Colbert Report a few weeks back, Andrew Bird stopped by the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon stage to perform "Eyeoneye." Watch the unsurprisingly great performance below, and grab Bird's newest album Break It Yourself now.

The Roots perform (for real) on Fallon

I imagine there had to be at least a few people in the crowd who were slightly disappointed when they heard the musical guest for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was the band that's there every night anyway. Regardless, the Roots performed two songs from their new (and stellar) album Undun on the show, including part of an amazing "Redford" medley inspired by the Sufjan Stevens' song.

Wednesday Bears: Dodos (and Neko Case) play Fallon

The Dodos got some help from their friend Neko Case, who everyone just loves, last night on the band's appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It's a fairly impressive performance, especially considering I usually have a hard time getting into the Dodos. Maybe it's Neko. Man I love Neko.

Tuesday Bears: M83 on Fallon

Anthony Gonzalez and the rest of M83 performed Hurry Up, We're Dreaming standout "Midnight City" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. You know, the song from the Victoria's Secret commercial and B&B Album of the Month for October 2011 (REMEMBER??)

Sax included.

Tuesday Bears: Beirut on Fallon

This is easy. Beirut performed The Rip Tide standout "Santa Fe" on Fallon last night, effortlessly. Watch below, via The Audio Perv.

Thursday Bears: Everything you missed on late night TV last night

Like the title said, you missed a lot.

Mastodon, Portishead, and Black Star (!) all performed on late night TV last night. Mos Def (now Yasiin Bey) and Talib Kweli performed the new "Fix Up," alongside Black Star standout "Astronomy (8th Light)." Watch them all below.

Tuesday Bears: Radiohead on Fallon

More Radiohead?

On the cusp of what has now been a confirmed upcoming tour from the England super band (next year), Radiohead made yet another familiar New York City stop on their recent media brigade, this time on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

But with most of The King of Limbs tracklist already performed on Saturday Night Live and The Colbert Report, "Giving Up the Ghost" was the next logical choice (if you're keeping tabs, that only leaves the instrumental "Feral" and "Separator" left to be seen). Watch the performance - sans Ed, Colin, and Phil below.
