[Watch] Arctic Monkeys - "Black Treacle" x "Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair" Live on Jonathan Ross

Last week we heard Arctic Monkeys put their own spin on Katy B's "Katy On A Mission" during a session for BBC Radio One at Maida Vale studios. Last night they kept their UK promo going with a visit to Jonathan Ross' late night slot on ITV to put in two performances of their own tracks. First up at the top you can see them perform new single "Black Treacle" and if you make the jump you can enjoy "Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair". Unlike last time when the band paid Ross a visit there's no clown suits in site. The performance though, tight as ever.

[Watch] BADBADNOTGOOD x Tyler, The Creator - "Orange Juice"

Last year in the midst of Odd Future being literally everywhere you may remember BADBADNOTGOOD creeping into our consciousness. They're a jazz trio who uploaded some interpretations of Tyler, The Creator's and the whole OF gangs tracks. For a taste of what they did, go watch them do "Goblin" here. In October last year the trio hooked up with Tyler and got to perform some tracks with the man they'd been covering on the internet. Today, Prefix points towards another video they've uploaded from the Tyler session. It's of the Radicals jam "Orange Juice". Check it out at the top.
