Dear, Pixeltan. Play more music – preferably live in Austin but playing in front of microphones controlled by recording engineers will be a reasonable substitute. Thanks!
your pal,
Ben
PS – also tell Devin that I enjoy his cartoons and ask if he would release all the music he and Brian Chippendale created for that as well.

I meant for this to be a post of musicians who also animate but I am having a hard time finding videos where the musician animates his own video so this is just going to be a post on Chad VanGaalen and later on I’ll feature the music of Pixeltan(bassist Devin Flynn animates), The Cheap Suit Serenaders(the famous R Crumb plays in that band), and Lightning Bolt’s bassist Brian Gibson(the drummer does music for Devin Flynn’s animations too).
So Chad VanGaalen is the bomb – I suppose he is the most underrated guy on a major indie label that I know of. His voice sometimes reminds me of Neil Young a bit(I think Chad is Canadian like Young). My favorite tune of his is MiniTVs which I can only find in this mix youtube video (fast forward to 10 minutes into the video for Chad’s song – also there is a great Mike Andrews song before and an old Jeremy Jay song after). Anyway, he is also a talented animator and does a few videos for other Sub Pop label mates. Here is one of his own songs with the video he made for it.
