In "Run, Chris, Run", Joe makes Peter aware that a reason that Cleveland seems to prefer to hang out with Jerome is because they are both black. Peter admits that people like to hang out with their own kind, like the audience at a Decemberists concert. In a cutaway to a concert, Colin greets the white guys that weigh less than their girlfriends.

  • The Decemberists are a hyper-literate progressive indie rock band, sort of like the Jethro Tull of the 21st century. They stole their name from the December Rebellion against Tsar Nicolas I. On the November 29, 2006 edition of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert announced that The Decemberists, like Jeopardy!, are riding on his coat tails by ripping off his Green Screen Challenge, challenging their fans to help them with their own green screen video. Thus challenged, Stephen asked why they couldn't just be like every other indie rock band and rip off The Pixies.
  • The Decemberists were formed when (as he was then known) Colin Dickens-Wilde-Shakespeare-Mangum-Stipe-Morrissey Meloy's previous band "Tarki-os" (named after a box of cereal he imagined owning as a child) got sick of him taking everything so seriously, and decided to leave one day. Later, their single album "I guess I was hoping for something less serious, I mean I was only in a band to get laid in College, God Colin is such a Dick" was bundled with their EP "Songs We Stole From The Waterboys" and some rare tracks and released on Kill Rock Stars as a way to fulfil a contractual obligation when Meloy moved to a major label.

Unable to understand why the band would leave, Meloy moved to Portland, where he met Five Other People, who were all fans of his previous band. It was whilst basking in their affection that he got the idea to create another band, almost exactly like Tarki-os but more meaningful and deep and pitched the idea to them. They agreed to this and to his demands that they should never speak to anyone about the band ever and The Decemberists were born.
