Many people have been blogging about this new TV series (well, new in the UK) called Flight of the Conchords. It's an HBO comedy that is set in New York where two aspiring rock and roll stars (who also happen to be from New Zealand) are trying to get somewhere with their music. It's very Curb Your Enthusiasm, although the difference comes with the songs which are parodies (obviously). They break into song in the episodes. And these songs are truly funny. They take the piss out of artists, genres and themselves in such a brilliant manner.
Here are a couple of the best, youtube even has full episodes which you can watch (until HBO taken 'em down):
"I can't believe, that i'm sharing a kebab with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen with a kebab"
"I rap about reality like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea"
In other me news. The gig night went very well, thank you. Some great bands on stage. I've also written a review of Manu Chao's new record, La Radionlina.
Chimes of Freedom.
