On The Fringe of Maya?

Looking for examples of Maya animation that don't look like Maya animation. Just got an opportunity to learn Maya (yay). I'm completely new to 3-D animation.

I'd like to get a feel for what Maya can do outside of its typical application as a tool for making uber-slick, hyper-detailed characters and landscapes (examples of what I mean by that here, here, and here).

I'd like to find work that takes on the aesthetic of the non-computer world... kind of like if the people who made the videos here, here, or here had access to a program like Maya.

Lo-Fi Indie Folk recommendations

I've just discovered The Mountain Goats (John Darnielle) courtesy of Large Hearted Boy and some positive online reviews. I love the fact that he used to record albums into a boom box, and has a voice and singing style that are quirky but oddly compelling. Any other recommendations for acoustic indie lo-fi folk (if that is a category)? Extra points if the group/performer makes you feel like you could pick up your guitar and do what they're doing (i.e. not Leo Kottke)
