...back to this amazing performance I saw when I was in San Francisco and I always that I had to share this guys work with others. The dude's name is Owen Pallett and his "band" (its mostly just him) is called Final Fantasy. He opened for the Bloc Party show that I saw. If you know bloc party then you definitely know "This Modern Love," one of the more powerful songs on Silent Alarm. Here's the song if you don't know it, or need to be introduced for the first time. Try not to be distracted by the drummer's moobs.
Now take a look at Owen Pallett's version.
I remember everyone had the same initial reaction of this nerd with his violin attempting to cover bloc party. We all thought it was a joke. But damn. I very rarely say that covers are better than the original, but this is definitely a candidate. Be sure to watch the video the entire way through.
