I keep hearing great things about this "Panda Bear" fellow, but doesn't he just sample existing songs and sing to them at a mixing board? I mean, his melodies seem very nice, and his style is reminiscent of Brian Wilson, but I just can't put that much stock into a musician who doesn't play an instrument. I suppose the art form has to evolve though... maybe he's at the forefront of musical progression and I'm stuck in the past?

The use of no instruments on music is not new at all. Pierre Shaeffer and other musicians of the Musique concrète were making music without any instrument back in the late 40s. So Panda Bear has not created anything new.
For me, if the musicians use instruments or not won't affect on my reaction on it's music, there a good musicians and there are bad musicians no matter what.

I think you're right in that artistic vision tends to be transcendent, regardless of the medium. I am a graphic designer by trade, but music is my passion and I find that my job elevates my music and my music elevates my visual art (not that I'm very good at either, just that I know it all comes from the same place). So I'm usually pretty good at appreciating artwork with vision, even if it strays quite far from the traditional.
So I just bought Person Pitch on iTunes and will give it a few listen, see if I can get into it.
