The scene ends badly, as you might imagine

I finally got to see the video for the Mountain Goats' "This Year" over at AOL Music (the last time I checked, they didn't have it), and it's genuinely a relief to see that John Darnielle hasn't checked any of the intensity and exuburence of his performance style for the video. A great song, of course, but the video is worth it for the priceless moment when one of his captors brings Darnielle a soda alone.
