Without further ado, here is "Mr. November":
Some background. As you may know, I regularly write diaries both here at DailyKos and at my anti-McCain blog, OldManMcCain.com. After months of standing on the sidelines and watching Jed Report, Cartwrightdale and others take the lead in creating grassroots videos, I decided to get into the game.
I taught myself Final Cut Pro over the past two weeks, compiling Obama footage from YouTube, and putting it all to the brilliant indie rock song "Mr. November" by the Brooklyn-based group The National.
Although the band has indicated that the song was originally written following John Kerry's heartbreaking loss in 2004, they have since declared that it applies even better to Barack Obama. In fact they are selling Mr. November t-shirts at their website, with the proceeds going to Obama For America:
No word on whether Obama's a National fan (though he's no stranger to romanticized indie rock), but the National sure do like them some Obama, so they're donating each and every penny from the sales of their Mr. November shirt to the Obama campaign.
I plan to upload a higher-res version to YouTube, although obviously the quality is limited by the source footage. But I'm very happy with the video and hope it gets you fired up!
