Those Who Are About to Die Really Aren't Nearly As Good As They're Made Out to Be
Outer space aliens from a differing dimension have abducted the Fiery Furnaces and the Arcade Fire and plopped them down in the middle of an intergalactic gladiatorial mid-sized theater of death. Armed only with rave reviews from Pitchfork, "next big thing" tags from Spin, oceans of drool from bloggers and MySpacers, and their instruments, the two must wage bitter battle until only one still draws breath. A reference on Gilmore Girls acts like a turkey leg from Castlevania. Who wins?
The victor then must go on to face whoever survives the Most Overhyped Indie-rock Band of 2003 Finals between the Broken Social Scene and the Decemberists.
The super-secret, end-game, nigh-unbeatable Final Boss? C'mon.
