Video: The Mountain Goats- Sax Rohmer #1

I'm not the biggest fan of the Heretic Pride album, but I do like this song. And, also, this video, which wisely puts the focus on Darnielle's lyrics. Breathing life into them by giving them various textures, animations, fonts, and synchronized actions from the band, 'Sax Rohmer #1' has a video that may not the most original idea in history (the 'show the lyrics' thing goes back to at least Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues') but still works very well.

I also recommend looking up some live clips of The Mountain Goats. John Darnielle is a pretty amusing guy, and his passion and energy for playing the songs--even while solo and acoustic--is entrancing.
