Video: Final Fantasy: "Cliquot" (Beirut cover) (Live in Paris)

If there's one thing we've learned from our friends at La Blogothèque, it's that Paris seems even more besotted with Beirut than your average blogger. Unless Paris is now the City of Bloggers. What's up, Brooklyn? Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett seems to have learned a similar lesson amid all the recent Beirut live footage. In this video of a performance at La Diva du Monde in Paris, Pallett busts out "Cliquot", a song from Beirut's forthcoming The Flying Club Cup, and croons the tune in his usual violin-pop style. Maybe he picked up the chords when Final Fantasy performed with Beirut (and members of the Arcade Fire) not so long ago? Via, appropriately, La Blogothèque.

[original track from The Flying Club Cup; due 10/09/07 on Ba Da Bing!]
