I'm not sure if you're jesting, but this would actually be a pretty cool inclusion.

Greensleeves is new to me, and Thrill Jockey's put out a couple really cool releases, but damn it'll be hard to make any team I think is worthy of beating Stones Throw. Didn't realize how much they've done on top of Madvillain til now. *gulps*

Cool. Looking forward to it. Never heard of Nuclear Blast, but the other two are certainly heavy hitters.

Nuclear Blast is a effin' killer metal label! http://www.nuclearblast.com/en/label/index.html

Given I'll be announcing dates before the week's out, and to give people time to put their teams together... Possibly two weeks away at the most.
