For some background, perhaps you ought to read the excellent Wired News
interview with the Chapman brothers, or the recent New

Later this year the Chapman brothers plan to release their first CD, which
features expanded versions of the songs on their Web site, the hip-hop debut
of Coach Z (a character who looks like Flavor Flav of Public Enemy but is
green and has a Wisconsin accent) and music from two of Strongbad’s favorite
heavy-metal bands, Tarantula and Limousine, neither of which exists outside
the universe of Homestar Runner.
