Decemberists contest: win a Prop "Calamity Song" Video, vinyl and artwork


Autumn of Wilde

Decemberists fans welcome! To celebrate the oh-so-literary incredible video tape inspired by David Foster Wallace for 'Calamity Song', we give a treasure of price Decemberists remotely. A dedicated fan will mark a tennis t-shirt in the video, a rare framed album package "The King Is Dead" print and three vinyl albums: "the King is dead," "Danger of Love" and "The Crane Wife."

The clip, directed by Michael Schur for "The Office" and "parks and recreation" is a deliciously dark homage to the epic of David Foster Wallace "Infinite Jest." "I got this funny idea that a good video for the song would be a recreation of the Tower of the Enfield Tennis Academy of Eschaton - basically, a thermonuclear world crisis recreated on a short tennis - who played about a third of the way in the book," Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy told NPR. "I found a soul to Michael Schur, a man with an enthusiasm even greater for the work of Wallace as my own." With many of the worship and respect in this seminal book, engineering, this is what we come with. "I can only hope DFW would be proud".

To win the award, the head of the box below and tell us why you love the Decemberists enough to deserve this.
