Something New & Good

I recently received a pre-screening invitation to HBO's new comedy show Flight of the Conchords. Because we live in an internet world where we control our media bereft of commercials I had never heard of these Conchords -- Google power w/youtube has enlightened me to something brilliantly entertaining. Its sort of like a Mighty Wind for Gen-X'ers. Overall, they're insanely creative.

An improv comedy/music duo swing songs over guitar strums like you do at your best when drunk with buddies, but they do it all the time. Folk Parody Power!!!



ALSO - bringing you the best hits from New Zealand like Albi the Racist Dragon.

*bonus song* RhymeNocerous VS. Hip-HOPopatamus

*bonus bonus song* Ode to David Bowie



Stay tuned for the HBO broadcast of this new gem. I will sit with mouse ready at my torrent site.

(my favorite new phrase is now: "Ohmigod, she's so hot - she's a curry."

Uhm...you know that the first episode has been available on myspace for 2 weeks right?

Anyone else going to see the Conchords & the Sklar brothers @ McCaw Hall?

You must have not read the sentence where i said, "...I had never heard of these Conchords."

but thanks for being snobby about it.

I've been taking Joe's course on "how to leave comments". I think I'm catching on rather well.

Seriously though, sorry man. Didn't mean to come off snobby.

Let us know if he's that short in real life? Is it through a SIFF hookup?

Well being a young child in the late 70's. I am a HUGE Muppet fan, so I truelly envy you on this one MCP. How did this come to be?

Yeah...I'm a massive muppet fan myself and I was really, really exciting to meet him (he was there for a screening of his new film). There will be a post later about this, but I'll say this much...my experience was Gary Coleman-esque.
