Chad Vangaalen - Clinically Dead



So, I was in one of my local "video rental stores" recently (that statement probably dates me, but who cares... God, I did College Radio back in the day, and Chuck's are still cool, but I digress...) and immediately as I walked in heard some amazing, sophisticated, lo-fi recording. I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms. Lo-fi is not supposed to be sophisticated. But, I don't know, there was something nuanced and spectacular about the music. I asked the video clerk what they were playing. Chad Vangaalen. I am now a fan. Oh, and the dude animates. Too cool for his own good!
