In this week's edition of "Why the hell haven't I seen Bon Iver live yet?!", Justin Vernon drops by the Jimmy Fallon show to jam out with the Roots. I mentioned last week that I loved his performance on SNL, and that I really wanted to see Vernon and Co. play "Perth" instead of "Beth/Rest". Well, I got my wish a week later and it was without a doubt worth the wait.

Do yourself a favor and check out the amazing collabo (take note Grammy Awards) that didn't make the broadcast after the jump.

The Roots Release 9 Minute Video Inspired By Their Concept Album Undun

The Legendary Roots Crew released a mini movie on the strength of their latest album Undun. There's word that the Late Night house band are contemplating turning their hip hop concept album into a full on stage production (Note to Black Thought et al.: Don't go idlewild and try to make a feature film with your own dough...it could prove disastrous) and this is a great way of testing the waters.

The video is directed by Clifton Bell and features the fictional protagonist of the Undun story, Redford Stevens. It's a story of a kid that becomes a victim of his environment, which is not far from reality. Enjoy the vid and drop your thoughts in the comments.
