final fantasy - “what do you think will happen next?”
canadian indie band final fantasy (aka owen pallett) performs at schuba’s in chicago 10.12.07
owen is a brilliant, classically trained violinist whose music is simply magical (in fact, his last album “he poos clouds” was intended to “illustrate” the 8 schools of magic from “dungeons and dragons”); this video is a good demonstration of owen’s on stage “looping” process

the 8 schools of magic are Dungeons & Dragons, nothing to do with the Final Fantasy videogames.

He’s brilliant, but why the call himself ‘Final Fantasy’ when that name is already associated so heavily with a massive video-game franchise, known for it’s music much more than Mr Pallett?
He should stick to his real name, or make up an original stage name

Final Fantasy as a video-game franchise began in 1987. Owen Pallett was born in 1979. Did he create Final Fantasy when he was 8?
Besides, it makes no sense. His stage name has no relevance.
