Watch James Blake's Performance of "Retrograde" on Letterman

Being a fan of James Blake is great. Not just because he makes brilliant fucking music, electronically, but the fact that he knows how to recreate his masterpieces live, and have them work just as fresh as the albums they come from. In December, every music blog that covers James Blake will have "Retrograde" listed in their top 10 (top 5?) tracks of 2013, so why not watch him perform it live from last night's episode of Letterman?
