The Decemberists on The Colbert Report – 12/20

December 20, 2006 in Music, TV by Sean

For those of you that haven’t been following the “feud” between Stephen Colbert and The Decemberists, here’s a brief recap:

  • Colbert did a “Green Screen Challenge” on his show where he taped footage of himself in wielding a light saber in front of a green screen and invited viewers to fill in the background in imaginative ways. George Lucas’ submission lost
  • The Decemberists taped a video for “O Valencia” in front of a green screen and invited their fans to fill in the background in imaginative ways. They called it Reanimate The Decemberists
  • Colbert accused The Decemberists of ripping off his idea and announced his Second Green Screen Challenge, to animate him into The Decemberists video
  • The Decemberists countered by challenging Colbert to a Guitar Solo Duel, which he accepted

So, The Decemberists will be on The Colbert Report tomorrow (12/20, 11:30pm ET) to take on Colbert’s allegedly superior skillz. Can’t wait!
