I've always liked the Decemberists, but this song tops everything else I've heard of theirs so far.

The author of this blog can't stop listening to this damn song.

Added later: Lacey just ruined my Twilight-reading marathon NYE plans by calling earlier and leaving a message that she'll be back in town tomorrow.  I guess I'll have to do the reading marathon on NYD instead.
