			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the great music videos by N.A.S.A. mentioned in that <a href="http://greaterthanorequalto.net/blog/2009/12/tom-waits-animations/">Tom Waits post</a> (though I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZB7yswo6a0">the best</a>) features the distinctive work of the artist <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/04/magazine/04STYLE.html/">Marcel Dzama</a> (ignore the D and you&#8217;re probably pronouncing it right). The song, &#8216;The People Tree&#8217;, features David Byrne so, you know – get to&nbsp;it.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/631W6DGjdgQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/631W6DGjdgQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>But Dzama&#8217;s imaginatively eerie style (if his art was in a horror film, it would be an artful crayon drawing by a haunted child that makes the parents wonder just what the hell is wrong with their kid) has been better captured on video elsewhere – in this Department of Eagles video for &#8216;No One Does It Like You&#8217;, which the artist himself co-directed with Patrick&nbsp;Daughters:</p>
<p style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MZAKjKC7Gho&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MZAKjKC7Gho&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>(Dzama also, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Dzama">Wikipedia tells me</a>, contributed to this Bob Dylan music video &#8216;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Xhs4F-KSo">When the Deal Goes Down</a>&#8217;, but his contribution seems to come only at the end, by which time it may be competing for the viewer with the creeping approach of yawns and&nbsp;sleep.)</p>
<p>If you like Dzama&#8217;s style, <a href="http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2008/4/18dzama.html" target="_blank">McSweeney&#8217;s publish</a> a collection of his work called <em><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Berliner-Ensemble-Thanks-You-All/dp/1932416994" target="_blank">The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All</a></em>, which is as beautiful and composed of as many small wonders of unorthodox formatting as you might hope from a McSweeney&#8217;s&nbsp;book.</p>
