Latest video from The Decemberists for "Sixteen Military Wives."
It's good. Very good. Really very incredibly good. It has a very Rushmore look and feel at heart, following a school's diplomatic encounters within their own Model United Nations. There are also obvious allusions to America's own current administration and it's unfaltering attitude concerning foreign relations.
From the band's website: "The video was made in a spirit of absolutely insane cooperation between friends, family, and strangers who worked for little more than some snacks and the chance to throw wads of paper at Colin." And don't anyone miss Death Cab's Chris Walla, who produced the new album Picaresque, as the wannabe news reporter. AND HOW COOL IS IT that they included a copy of Chris Thompson's Blankets in that locker!!!
The band just released the video on their website as a high quality 75 mb Quicktime file. You can read more about the release as well as how to download it as a BitTorrent HERE.
Enjoy, Pbjnecrome, representing the Republic of Antvillia.
