Re: Owen Pallett Heartland

He used to be called "Final Fantasy", and if you can find it there's a
podcast from CBC where he and Cadence Weapon (Canadian 8bit hip hop
artist) collaborate on each other's songs for an hour.  Pretty neat
stuff.  I haven't seen him live yet, but I do live in a more remote
part of Canada, which is often overlooked when artists are suddenly
launched into indie-stardom.  Proud Canadian though!
