With Phish now officially headlining Bonnaroo, I decided to give you guys a little hippie action this week. If you are not a fan of people who can play their instruments well, then checking out this band may not be for you. But if you aren't scared off by the jamband tag, these guys are pretty damn good. I'm not crazy about most of their studio work, but even it has its moments, and a live Phish concert is a seriously special event. Here is a show that many diehard fans consider one of their greatest: [...]
After the release of his 2006 album He Poos Clouds , Owen Pallett found the time to put together two impressive EPs when he wasn't too busy contributing his string scholarship to a ton of projects. A couple videos came out supporting the first EP, Spectrum, 14th Century , but this is the first set of movin' pictures featuring a song from the second, Plays to Please .

Last fall after a period of post- Poos silence, Owen Pallett released a pair of excellent EPs, and in their wake, a pair of interesting videos. Unlike " Blue Imelda " and " The Butcher ," Owen actually turns up in Pays To Please 's "Horsetail Feathers." Director Tracy Maurice makes good work of the cut's old-timey symphonic swing, essentially answering the age-old question "What if All That Jazz was a futuristic space oddity?" Yep that old chestnut.

I love Owen Pallett , and therefore I love this obscenely silly video in all its intentional bad 80s-ness. This Final Fantasy song is "Horsetail Feathers" off the EP Plays To Please (available on limited edition 10" vinyl from Blocks Recording Club, CD from Slender Means Society and States Rights Records and for download on iTunes). Oh, and the video is directed by Tracy Maurice.
