MUSIC FROM SPACE: Death Cab for Cutie - CROOKED TEETH

The song itself is a pleasant trifle, but Rob Schrab's video for Death Cab for Cutie's Crooked Teeth is pure genius. Schrab uses puppets and other techniques, in a process he calls "drawless ainmation," to tell the heart-wrenching tale of a little cardboard robot. He has a making-of video that's a lot of fun, too.

Note that the record label has already pulled the Crooked Teeth video off of Youtube, so it's not unlikely it won't be availble for long here, either... Because the best way to promote your bands is apparently to yank their videos off the Internet and store them in a vault somewhere. (Click the image at left to buy the band's album Plans on Amazon.)
