The Passion of Wilco?

apparently you can sync Mel's Jesus Chainsaw
Massacre with Wilco's "Ghost is Born" ??

Directions:
Sync up Wilco CD with movie at 00:01 on the CD and the movie at chapter one, with the screen showing the Icon Productions symbol.

Here's what should happen (according to GQ's David Walters)

5 minutes 53 seconds - The song "Hell Is Chrome" begins on A Ghost Is
Born. The song's first lines are When the Devil came / He was not red /
He was chrome... At this precise moment in The Passion, Satan appears
for the first time (and he's not red).

10:35 - Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss in The Passion. Moments later,
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy sings the lyric Why can't they wish their kisses good?

18:40 - When a sympathetic Roman guard asks about Jesus' arrest, Tweedy sings There's no blood on my hands / I just do as I'm told.

52:44 - The extended beating scene in The Passion and Wilco's fifteen
minute "Less Than You Think" coincide perfectly.

1:13:58 - After Palm Sunday flashback in which Jesus is greeted warmly,
Tweedy sings I was welcomed / With open arms / I received so much help in every way / I felt no fear (at this point in the film, the CD is repeating). [Sketch] that's a vital instruction, isn't it? Shouldn't this be at the beginning[/Sketch]

1:49:51 - Tweedy's lyric I will always die / So you can remember me (on
the song Company In My Back) occurs exactly when Mary asks Jesus to let her die with him.

1:53:08 - The earthquake that begins when Jesus finally dies in The
Passion starts right when Tweedy screams on the song "I'm A Wheel".

1:56:01 - When Jesus is taken down from the cross and cradled by his
supporters, Wilco plays "Theologians" and Tweedy sings ominously, No
one's ever gonna take my life from me / I lay it down / A ghost is born.

And if you squint hard enough, it looks like Judy Garland is playing Jesus, and Roger Waters, Pilate.

I tried this with The Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon. What a let down.

Does anyone have a link to the original source?

I couldn't find any, just some threads on other boards.

Call me crazy, but i have a sneaking suspicion that not everything you read on the internet is true...
