)(BEST VIDEO EVER%$

I was supposed to go to bed but then read the name Bishop Allen somewhere on my screen which wasn't the first time so I thought maybe they did a Takeaway Show which then could be my first real introduction to this band. I haven't found any yet, but I did find two by Final Fantasy which is Owen Pallett who plays the violin and his band, but in the Takeaway Show it's just him. I watched the two videos and then saw something on the right that caught my eye. In the middle of some French words I noticed the word Beirut. So I started to read the text and it said something about Owen singing on a song from The Flying Club Cup. This song is Cliquot. Thinking that every song on the album was sung by Zach Condon, Mr. Beirut himself, this caught me by surprise. So I started listening to the song and indeed, yes, this song is sung by Owen! Oh my. Never knew, never had a clue. But on the Last.fm page of the song there was this YouTube video of a girl doing a cover version of the song. So I went to check it out. Then I decided to watch a cover version of Nantes, another song by Beirut. And then another cover. This eventually led to a Daft Hands version of the song Nantes which is some guys writing lyrics on their fingers and then moving them whenever the words from the lyrics are heard in the song. Reading the comments this was not the original idea. The original idea came from someone else who did a Daft Hands version of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk, hence the name Daft Hands. I will post the video here and after posting it I will finally go to bed and sleep. But I just had to share this video 'cause it's f*cking amazing! Simple, yet brilliant. The end is just wow, so fast, I love the movements and the combinations of words making another word! Fun fun fun.




So this is the effect the internet most of the time has on me. One click leads to another and before I know it I find myself hours in front of the computer screen when I was supposed to be doing something else. It's a major distraction.
