I know I've said it a million times before, but TV on the Radio are god damn amazing. Here they are on Jools Holland performing Golden Age & Dancing Shoes.

I really can't wait to see them live again. Tickets still available here. Do it!

I noticed this first just before Christmas on Jools so check out that particular performance as well.
