Flight of the Conchords


Flight of the Conchords is of the the greatest shows ever (and band)!!! Besides being absolutely hilarious and pretty damn good musicians with a hit show, did you know that they won a Grammy in 2007? They are known as (well...by themselves) "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo." Think of their music as witty, funky songs that belong in a modern musical, not a hit HBO series, but it is. From "Think about it" to "Business time," each song isn't necessarily full of emotion nor does it display their amazing range, but their music is a comedic performance and each song is a joke and punch line. Not many bands play like them; more importantly, not many bands like them, succeed. Would Tenacious D be popular without a movie superstar in Jack Black? Doubtful. "Their in a league of their own," said a wise man.

There latest episode is about Jermaine and Brett falling in love with the same girl who lost her epileptic dog. There show is very funny, a bit weird, and a "not to miss" show, so...check it out! And when in doubt listen to their Grammy Winning Album.
