John Hadfield is turning to music videos to help him fund his new album -- he says on his Facebook page that proceeds from downloading this new video on iTunes or CDBaby will go toward funding his new album.
Probably worth 99 cents just for the idea of writing a song called "Bookmobile Submarine" and then talking about microfiche, which is a joke that I think you have to be, like, at least 23 years old to get. Decent animation, it's a fun little 2:30 video.

Video: "Green Eleven" - Todd McHatton
As self-animated videos songs go, this one from Todd McHatton, for "Green Eleven" off the recently-released Sundays at the Rocket Park, is a pretty good one. It's a mostly sunny animated video -- even the clouds sing, so, yeah, pretty cheerful.

Video: "Cars & Trucks" - Sugar Free Allstars
This time for real.
The second video from Sugar Free Allstars' Funky Fresh and Sugar Free resides (literally) at the corner of Funky St. and Groovin' Ln. (Also: liked the P-Kitty reference.)

Share: "Oh, John the Rabbit" - Elizabeth Mitchell
As previously noted, Elizabeth Mitchell will be releasing her next family music album, Sunny Day, later this year, October 5, to be exact. And she's just released a super-cute video for one of the tracks on the new disk, "Oh, John the Rabbit." You can view the video here. It's pretty simple, with Elizabeth, Daniel, Storey, bunnies, and a bunch of other kids. "John the Rabbit" is a pretty classic call-and-response song, one that Mitchell recorded on her very first kids album, You Are My Flower. Storey wasn't even born when that album was released more than a decade ago; to have her join in on this version seems pretty cool.
Anyway, if you like the video, you can also download the mp3 from that page as well for the price of an e-mail.
Update: The video's now on YouTube...

Video: "Tommy Got in Trouble" - The Bazillions
The Bazillions make a video for the best song off their debut album Rock-n-Roll Recess. It's cute, and will also teach your kid what 9 x 7 is. So, win.

Video: "Big Pet Pig" - Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke
I know, I posted this video from Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke once already a few months back, but I haven't had the best luck watching the videos, including this one, on the Topspin widget. YouTube doesn't fail me, though... and, hey, it's always fun to go back and rediscover videos you haven't seen for three months. It's akin to that toy you hid from your three-year-old and brought out a few weeks later. Like new, right?
