I'm generally not a big fan of covers, but at the risk of being banished from Blogville, I think I like this better than the original. I like my pastoral folk to be mad pastoral (via):

P4k.tv had themselves a good week. First that 3-parter thing with Beach House in a basement, and now the premiere of this perfectly appropriate new video for the Walkmen's best single since "The Rat," with Hamilton Leithauser starring as the "I Like Turtles" kid in director Norman Coady's awesome old-timey horror flick:
