They Might Be Giants, "Crumb Factory"

I'm digging the dreamy/gritty animation by Elliot Cowan. This is actually an entry in his The Stressful Adventures of Boxhead and Roundhead series.

Do you dig the gritty animation because it kind of looks like your old friend, the smoke monster? http://criticalmass.blogs.citypaper.net/blogs/mu/files/2009/03/025_smokylocke.jpg

Hey Patrick. I'm very pleased to see you like my stuff. I'll send you a dvd compilation of them if you like. I'm also working on a new one called "The Thing In The Distance". You'll find a link to it from my website.

Pretty fun, but I think the author would be better suited doing a less literal interpretation of the lyrics for the video.
