Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young...

Last night on Late Night, Jimmy Fallon did an amazing, and hilarious, spot-on impersonation of Neil Young covering the theme song for The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Yes... you read that correctly. And Jimmy Fallon doesn't even crack up half way through.

Check it out below.

Ohbijou @ The Exchange

Indie darlings Ohbijou made their way through our neck of the woods Monday, bringing their brand of orchestral chamber dream pop to a decent sized crowd. Ohbijou have been getting lots of buzz across the world since their debut album Swift Feet For Troubling Times came out a couple years ago. After seeing them live and listening to their two albums, I can definitely say the acclaim is well deserved.

Ohbijou are a band that are not going to leap out at anyone. Their music, which is infused with violin, cello, horns, and lush keyboards, is ideal for movie soundtracks or for chilling out at a coffee shop. If you are a fan of Stars, Broken Social Scene or Metric's more mellow offerings I would highly recommend this band.

The band, which is based out of Toronto and led by sisters Casey (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards) and Jennifer (violin, vocals) Mecija, perfectly replicate their layered sound onstage. Casey's voice is very soft, but shows flashes of gutteral power every now and then. This is pretty impressive considering the diminutive size of the singer.

Overall, I was really impressed with the show. My only complaint, which is very minor, is that their music might be a bit TOO mellow for a live performance. That being said, after listening to their two albums on my iPod for the last couple of weeks I knew what to expect. But it might be a bit off-putting for a newbie to the band.

The band were pretty serene and sedate during their performance. However, given the music they play, you can't exactly expect scissor kicks and windmill guitar strokes. Casey kept her onstage banter to a minimum but when she did speak she was extremely soft spoken, exhibiting a hint of shyness. However, this added a certain charm to the performance.

Long story short, it was a great way to spend a Monday night. You can check them out at their myspace page here.

The Flaming Lips - "Watching The Planets"

The Flaming Lips are a band I appreciate more than I actually like. I only own one album, 2008's At War With The Mystics, and think it is mostly self-indulgent psychedelia. However, I hear that that was the wrong album to get properly introduced to the trippy world of The Flaming Lips. One thing I will give them credit for is that they are never boring. Their live show is legendary, particularly Wayne Coyne walking over the crowd inside an oversized bubble. Plus, any band that backed up Beck on a tour is ok in my books.

Well The Flaming Lips have another album that just came out, Embryonic, that is getting some mixed reviews. This is probably due to that fact that it's a double album... That is probably way too much weirdness in one sitting for my liking.

However, at their best, The Flaming Lips are one of the most fun and adventurous bands out there. Probably because they are so" out there." Case in point is the first single and video from Embryonic, :Watching The Planets." I first heard this song when The Lips performed on Letterman or Conan. It was an absolutely stunning performance of a killer tune.

I saw the video for the first time a couple days ago and it is hands down the craziest, trippiest video I have ever seen. It's as if the promo posters for Queen's "Bicycle Race" came to life while you are tripping on magic mushrooms. It truly has to be seen to be believed. There are naked people riding bicycles. There are naked people coming out of some sort of embryo/vagine that looks like something out of Where The Wild Things Are. And Wayne Coyne even whips out his roll of "coynes" for all the world to see, which takes a lot of balls. (So needless to say, this video is VERY NSFW!!!!!)

You can check out the video exclusively at NME. Don't say I didn't warn you.
