Nearly a year ago I praised "Apples and Honey", a new track from The Macaroons. Rosh Hashanah is just a week away, so this new video is just about perfect. (It's also totally appropriate for non-Jewish viewers, like myself.)

Video: "Preposition" - The Bazillions
Their last video, for "Tommy Got in Trouble," had the advantage of being for a great song. It was a good video for Twin Cities band The Bazillions, but their new one (at least to YouTube) is even better. "Preposition" is a decent song, but this video is Schoolhouse Rock-worthy.

Video: "Bookmobile Submarine" - John Hadfield
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...
