Stephen Colbert vs. The Decemberists
Dec. 11th, 2006 10:52 amA faux feud between two of my favorite people/groups/whatever is completely full of awesome.
Stephen Colbert a few weeks ago introduced a segment called "Who's Riding My Coattails Now?" and called out The Decemberists for ripping off his idea of having fans create videos using green screen footage; he announced his second green screen challenge, in which he asks fans to edit him into The Decemberists' video. Colin and company in response issued a counterchallenge, "The First Decemberists vs Steve Colbert Guitar Solo Challenge". Last week, Stephen responded and invited them to appear on the Report on December 20 (as he notes, generously giving them the home field advantage by having the contest in December XD). It's totally worth watching this segment just for the clip from his previous career in the 80s as lead singer of "Stephen and the Colberts".
[Edit: Full video for "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" available here. Bwah!]
