Rock drums: boo.
Cheezy guitar solo: boo, too.

Upon reading this, my brother Evan wanted to know whether the ballet would include this in Hootie’s History: the forming of a South Carolina boutique label with Atlantic Records called Breaking, their signing of another South Carolina band, Jump, Little Children, and the subsequent emotional and financial torture they (and their lawyers) eventually put said band through, which in part influenced Jump’s eventual demise as a group.

Now that’s a dance piece I’d go see!

Or… maybe it’s a rock musical I’d like to write?

I live in the Midwest, now.

Damn it. This is so great. Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, the gorgeous red-haired slayer from Buffy Season 7, and three Whedons, including Joss. Why is it so great? It’s an indie-film project created during the Writers Strike of ‘08. Also, it’s about superheroes. Also, it’s a musical. And, Neil Patrick Harris and Joss Whedon. It’s like Matt’s Über-Nerdy Dream Collaboration. It’s like Joss called me up personally and said, “Matt, what would you like for me to work on next? And who should I cast?”

If you go to the site before Saturday night, you can see all three parts for free, but after that you have to buy them on iTunes.

Wow. So retro.
