Owen Pallett is Final Fantasy. He plays violin and piano, and loops it to make it sound like theres a whole quartet but its just him. He has two records out right now, plus a whole whack of seven inches, and hes recording a new album.
He is so cute ^_^ Seriously, Owen, if you read this, drop me a line. lmao. Loooove this cover. Newsom is the best, and yours is a GREAT interpretation.
This is beautiful. Mr. Pallett is a musical genius and, I daresay, the new hotness. He also looks adorable in his Raphael a la ninja turtles headband and wristband. This is one sexy violin-playing ninja.
I would slap every single person talking if I was at this show...so disrespectful.

What's the point of a musician if no one's listening? It doesn't even look like anyone notices he's up there during the beginning.

Ok, this guy is cute... but what is he doing? Does he plays or talks? What the F...?

It sounds like he's essentially doing improv, taking suggestions from the audience.

Oh yeah, the person must have totally forgotten about the "no musicians talking" policy that youtube holds on posting videos on musicians.
It's nice to see the person interact with the audience, it takes a lot of balls too, to stand up in front of all those people and try talking to them.

Wow, a professional recording, nice! There is some video/audio sync lag towards the mid/end however. Excellent overall!
