I had thought that a video couldn't get more endearing than OK GO's rescue dog laden one for "White Knuckles". And then Chicago tech-pop quartet Maps & Atlases put out this gem of a video for "Israeli Caves". The plot is rather simple. Little boy gets bullied and has his tricycle stolen by a bunch of adults in bear masks and the little kid makes a rather ingenious (and Kill Bill-esque) plan of revenge which is revealed through an adorably poorly written, misspelled, and backwards letters containing list. And of course, the boy wonder manages to do all these things and reclaim his stolen trike all while staying ridiculously cute. And a fun bonus: The little kid kind of looks (and dresses) similarly to Maps & Atlases singer/guitarist/bearded folk hero Dave Davison. This video could very well be his origin story.
