In addition to being the founder of Squeeze, Jools Holland is also the UK’s answer to Jimmy Fallon: his BBC 2 program, Later… with Jools Holland, consistently offers performances from music’s most elite. On last night’s episode alone, Justin Vernon, wearing one hell of a denim jacket, busted out the horns for a full band rendition of Bon Iver’s “Towers”; Feist, with Mountain Man again providing vocal support, tackled both “The Bad In Each Other” and ”How Come You Never Go There”; and Mastodon, who are apparently only the second metal band ever to appear on the program, wrecked havoc with “Black Tongue”. I don’t know anyone on this side of the Atlantic who gets BBC 2, so check out video clips of the aforementioned performances below.

And one good performance deserves another. After Lana Del Rey‘s killer cut of “Blue Jeans” from the Premises, the artist formerly known as Lizzy Grant made her TV debut on the October 11th edition of Later… with Jools Holland.

Stripped to its most raw and essential, the song is profoundly stirring, allowing Del Rey to shine as the vulnerable vixen caught in the sea of topsy turvy love affair. Check it out below (via 130 BPM).

Del Rey’s upcoming debut full-length is listed as hitting stores on January 23rd, 2012. Her debut single, “Video Games” b/w “Blue Jeans”, is out now via Stranger Records.

During last night’s three hour span of late night television, the following things happened: MGMT brought “Brian Eno” to Letterman (they also delivered a full concert right after), Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi Birgisson capped off his recently completed North American tour by performing “Go Do” on Ferguson, and The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, appearing in the midst of J-Fal’s Rolling Stones week, gave his best Lost impersonation on the latest episode of Late. Plus, albeit not falling under the U.S. late night umbrella, both The National and LCD Soundsystem delivered stellar performances on the UK program Live on Jools Holland. Yeah, told you it was a busy night.

Per YouTube and The Audio Perv, you can check out most of the aforementioned below. (Click here to see Mick Jagger’s appearance). Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering how Jay followed up last night’s performance from Limp Bizkit, he had country musician Luke Bryan play “Rain Is A Good Thing”. LOL.

MGMT – “Brian Eno”

MGMT – Live on Letterman concert

Jónsi – “Go Do”

LCD Soundsystem – “Drunk Girls”

The National – “Bloodbuzz Ohio”

Last night, Mos Def joined Damon Albarn, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Kano, Bashy, and Bobby Womack appeared on British television program Later with Jools Holland, where they performed two songs from the Gorillaz’ recently released Plastic Beach, the album’s first single, “Stylo”, and “White Fang Flag”.

Thanks to the accompaniment of the National Orchestra of Arabic Music in Syria, “White Fang” proved to be a brilliant listen, but the rare appearance of Mos Def made “Stylo” the evening’s true highlight. In addition to complementing Albarn’s vocals on the track, the rapper also appeared to amp up the energy of the band’s performance, at least if you compare it to the one given on Colbert.

Now if we could only get Murdoc to actually make an appearance…

“Stylo”

“White Flag”
