Today's video is "Our Retired Explorer" by The Weakerthans. A weird video, but definitely one of my favorites! Dancing in Antarctica looks like a blast. Also, it has a bit of a downer ending.
Here is some info on The Weakerthans from Wikipedia: "The Weakerthans are a four-piece (and sometimes six-piece) Canadian indie rockband that blends punk rock with folk rock. The band was formed in 1997 in Winnipeg, Manitoba by John K. Samson, after he left the punk band Propagandhi to start a publishing company. Samson joined forces with bassist John P. Sutton and drummer Jason Tait, and created The Weakerthans as a vehicle for a more melodic and introspective brand of songwriting than that of Propagandhi."
The Weakerthans are definitely one of my all time favorite bands. All of their songs really seem to hit home for me and I've never been sure why. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard much of them before!
