Introduction

It was the night of October 11, 2010. The Decemberists had finished another successful concert just outside Merriweather Post Pavilion. After all fans had vacated the arena, they began to prepare to leave. Colin Meloy stepped outside to catch some fresh air and was surprised to see an individual running towards him. Not wanting to have to deal with what he assumed to be yet another crazed Decemberists fan, Colin started to make a move to go back inside the building.

Upon awakening, he saw that there were some creepy-looking zombies to his left and some scary looking people (who didn’t appear to be undead) with long hair. “What have you done?!” he asked. The two groups looked at each other, and then one of the zombies said, “Your days of producing modern acoustic progressive folk-rock are over.”

They then proceeded to butcher Colin Meloy.
