Courtesty of the Decemberists web site, you can download the video for 16 Military Wives using BitTorrent via this link from their web site, or if you can bear watching the tiny lo-res version, you can find it here.

...and DAMN if John Roderick (of the super ultra deluxe band The Long Winters) makes a guest appearance in the video! Yay for NW indie bands playing nice together! John's been sporting a super ultra long beard for the past who knows how long. There's a pretty good picture at Fliker by someone who took their picture at South by Southwest music festival down in Texas.

Acutally it's not even the whole band, just Sean Nelson and John playing an accoustic set - which really is The Long Winters at their best -- when both of them are singing together (Sean sings the harmony and is freakin HOT) and there's no electic guitars, drums, bass, nothing.
