Get used to the name Dan Mangan -- the Vancouver-based troubadour is about to captivate American audiences when his sophomore album, 'Nice, Nice, Very Nice,' is finally released in the States. Canada has already been chanting his name for a hot hipster minute, and since he's a solo singer-songwriter, Mangan has nobody but himself to thank, right?

"One time, when I was a kid, I drew a stick man," Mangan tells Spinner. "Just the other day, I drew two stick men hanging out together. My, how I've grown. Fortunately for me, the crew at Blatant Films did all of the hard work for my video for 'Road Regrets.' I will accept as much of their hard earned credit as I possibly can."

Of course he will. As he sings in this song, "them's the breaks," kid. Still, he may wish to thank director Jon Busby for this animated, charm-your-socks-off video. Like the song itself, it's a keeper. Check it out below.
