I know Mr. Flansburgh has done quite a bit of video directing. What role do moving pictures play for him in relation to music? Is it a seperate entity, a related creative outlet, or an integral part of what you do?
During your long career both of you have been embraced by a wide variety of television programs. Your music and likenesses have appeared everywhere- from the "Tiny Tunes", to "Brave New World", to "Malcolm in the Middle". Does this attention get in the way of your musical mission?
Why are 'educational'/nonsense lyrics and child-like presentation (puppets, animation, cartoons, etc.) so fascinating to you? Are these trappings also part of the music for you, or are they a simple framework within which to express other ideas?
