Battle Of The Hipster Fetishes

Apparently, The Decemberists have initiated a green screen challenge, in which they filmed themselves playing a song in front of a green screen and posted it online for fans to fill in the blanks and create their very own music video.

If you'll remember, Stephen Colbert has already done this.

I am going to side with Stephen Colbert on this one, because while I do like a coupla Decemberist songs, The Colbert Report is probably the best show on television. And he did it first.

For a full blow-by-blow, check out the wikipedia entry on The Decemberists and scroll down. I believe their retort to be lame, but it's highly possible that they are just kidding. In much the same way that is highly possible that Colbert is kidding, since that's what he does for a living.

Reality is hard.
