Still listening to this in YDAU

[@paolom.9361]

What a voice Michael Pemulis!

[@stefan-schmitzer]

as close as we're ever gonna get to an ij series

[@theindiefanclub]

I am pretty sure Kittenplan was never meant to be that cute.

[@king_ezra8755]

who's listening in the Year of Glad?

[@imbored4615]

Someone believes they are still arguing over if the camp is the map or the actual territory

[@detecus1863]

This is the Year of the Apple Vision Pro.

[@Biverix]

Infinite Jest is brilliant. I love this.

[@Scarjka]

I wish they would have made it snow, but it's still very nice.

[@ashish89ism]

This has to be the greatest music video of all time

[@Hurtdeer]

seeing a bit from that amazing book acted out a little made my brain tingle

[@WarrenCromartie2]

I love this band. They deserve to be huge!!

[@tommyperkins]

The attention to detail is stunning. I'm not familiar with the band's personnell but one of them has a NASA glass like Hal :)

[@Draxtor]

damn i missed that NASA cup damn !!!!

[@banjogyro]

Hal's performance was remarkable

[@sreekarch3830]

Just discovered this after all this time. Beautiful, beautiful song!

[@carminecaletti]

Thank you guys, I was about to cry!
Go! The Decemberists!
Greetings from Italy!
R.I.P. DFW.

[@Draxtor]

I am sitting here in my Eschaton t-shirt, reading Infinite Jest for the third time, currently page 680, and just now I learn about this song and this video? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? 😅😅❤

[@gailygoo86]

Yooo I'm like 13 pages behind you ,, my first reading!

[@philophos]

This was a better recreation than I expected, lack of snow notwithstanding.

[@Gruff.]

Not the calamity I was looking for but I'll watch it anyway

[@CanyonofStatic]

Love the woman dressed as DFW with the pink hair...

[@Cainetic]

This is soooo cool and accurate!!

[@tt-wz9iq]

Maaaah boy!!!! Infinite jest!!!

[@didymus940]

Really perfect ! Nobody could do better in recreating an episode of IJ by filming.

[@zoosad]

great song! thanks guys!

[@llebieck]

Yeah. That was a nice touch.

[@dimitrisdimitriadis4913]

Band: Decemberists
Album: the *King* is *dead*
Song: -Endless- *Calamity* song
in before this is flooded with references to an 89 year old head doctor :D

[@Ramonsixser]

89 years old!? Man, I know I sound like a broken record, but is he really 89 years old??

[@garfball3010]

89 years old? He cant really be that old can he?

[@dimitrisdimitriadis4913]

Cmon guys, he's too fast. He can't be 89 years old.

[@JavierNavarroPrez]

Happy New Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment!!

[@DylanNes]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[@adfxceedfgdfvvbasdfrtvcx]

Lord is lucky this video ended the way it did

[@DylanNes]

I just realized something. Wasn't Jenny Conlee struggling with breast cancer around the time this song was released? I think she wore that pink wig because she might have been balding because of the chemo and because pink is for some reason the official color of breast cancer.

[@bonniebrillyparker]

love!!!!!!! wallace :))))

[@alexmacleod8448]

Great song. Great video. Great band.

[@carlosromanoalvarez3261]

The Infinite Jest :D

[@apollondelphinios]

can't believe DFW is dead

[@justsomeguy-u6p]

Fucking love this band

[@jonnycabana]

I love this, a wonderful tribute to DWF. Pretty close to the book's passage about Eschaton, except for the final part where Otis P. Lord get stucked into the monitor, but I suppose it was to much for the poor kid in the vid :P

[@Keehaar]

I was waiting for that to happen :)

[@Draxtor]

@@Keehaar me too! The actor probably said "NO WAY OR YOU PAY ME DOUBLE" hihihihi

[@locabassi]

fatto benissimo!

[@TeaDrinker3000]

Yaaay!

[@jonnycabana]

happy birthday David :)

[@Totuccio89]

Ingersoll is exactly how i imagined reading the book

[@3llisyt]

This video is good, but is it good enough?

[@alanaardvark6184]

While I normally don't listen to this kind of music I think it fits the video quite well (and vice versa). They did a great job with the video and captured general 'feeling' of the scene.great choice of actors as well.
Which one is supposed to be Hal?

[@enriqueperez-riesco4186]

The one with the NASA cup

[@fedor_sorokin]

[@ardayesildag3769]

Well,if there will be an Infinite Jest movie,Michael Schur must be the director.

[@tomaspalm]

Well, he does own the rights

[@franzmeier2128]

Why is Egypt instead of Syria part of IRLIBSYR though?

[@alsuvakhitova5823]

So much nostalgia! My dad used to play this song to me during long road trips.

[@АлександрСемичев-р6ф]

ааааа как же это круууто ,прям вспомнился роман

[@АртюрРембо-ю3ы]

Я так понимаю вы о Бесконечной шутке?

[@АлександрСемичев-р6ф]

[@AshwinNepal]
