I just watched this beautiful video by a Danish band called Under Byen, from a link in Neil Gaiman's journal.

Ethereal music with a singer reminscent of Bjork, and the animation is lovely. Took about 10 minutes to load on my dial-up connection, but worth it.

People send him the neatest stuff.

Edit: Neil posting that link must have overloaded the band's site, because the next day, it no longer worked - however, I found the video at another location.

Here's the YouTube version, but really, I would watch it at the website; YouTube mangles the resolution.

Awesome. I think I should add him.

I've only read a few of his books; Neverwhere and The Wolves in the Walls, whic is one of my kids favorites - and mine too, truth be told, I love children's books. He's most famous for The Sandman graphic novels, which I have yet to read, but they're on my wishlist.

I don't know where he finds the time to do his journal with all of the other work he does.
