#365songs (187 / 365)

Another song that's notable to me mainly for the music video, though the song is solid too. These absolute sickos (complimentary) actually recorded a music video that's just the Eschaton scene from David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite Jest (which novel blew me away when I read it as a 20-year-old). The song itself lightly references IJ in the lyric "In the year of the chewable Ambien tab" and otherwise doesn't lean into fan service, but the video is about as faithful a representation of the tennis-as-war-game set piece as you can get without embedding a child's head in a CRT monitor. Probably full of Easter eggs too, though the only one I noticed was Jenny Conlee wearing a classic DFW bandana. Directed by Michael Schur! One of like five directors whose names I recognize! What a miracle. I'm so glad this video exists.
