The Decemberists‘ latest video was directed by… Mose Schrute?!? Michael Schur (former writer/producer of The Office, and current mastermind behind Parks and Recreation—plus the genius responsible for the greatest sports blog ever, Fire Joe Morgan) was behind the lens for this clip to The King is Dead‘s “Calamity Song.”
The video is a homage to David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, which I have yet to read—Oh, why doesn’t anyone make a video in tribute to my favorite book?—so I won’t pretend to know what is exactly happening here. Tennis? It’s about tennis, right?

It is about DYSTOPIAN tennis-which, incidentally, is the only kind of tennis I am any good at.
In other news, PETA has announced that they’re going to open a porn site at peta.xxx. They plan to serve up free porn mixed in with their ‘message.’
video not working for me 🙁
@bookfiend The video was down on NPR’s site, but it seems to be working once again.
