flight of the conchords

the Gondry episode is still very very good, "Carol Brown" still gives me chills. but so does "Doggy Bounce"

anyone seen the Jemaine Clement vampire film?

Yes, it's a pleasing enough collection of sketches.

strangely is the cover story of current Film Comment

hopefully they play a couple of the new songs i saw them play at summerstage, which were funny but could use some editing for length

new live show now up on Spotify, plenty of laughs and the odd very nice bit amongst some schtick that's slightly worn out at this stage

Oh good ! I hadn't thought about them in a while.
Started listening to that and they still have it !
So far the highlight is "Summer of 1353".

Saw them do the new show at the o2 last summer, it's good.

yeah i was in dublin

they missed quite a few threads and noted so it didnt hang together at the end (i think it was their first night) but still a very fun night

Aw it’s an hbo show... but it’s not available on hbo !

?? It’s a BBC show... but it’s not available on BBC!

Ahah The videos Of that I saw were hbo though

spotify

Their first show was on the BBC, but it didn't stop them taking the premise and some of the songs and scripts to HBO. HBO broadcast this last October and had it available to stream for months, but presumably they either own the entire thing or retained the audio rights, such that they can release it for sale or audio streaming now.

I just looked and it's back on HBO in fifteen days. So, out of seven months, there's, what, one (1) month's holdback where it came off HBO so they can try and sell it in a different format for a fortnight.

rewatching the original hbo series. 13 years old!

it's still good.

the BBC series was the original btw

a radio series, right?

yep. it's great!

i'll check it out!

that's so strange, I was just thinking about revisiting this myself today

I think about the Fleetwood Mac "love square" scene all the fucking time

I just discovered this song they did for Red Nose Day in 2012 and it's incredible!

brilliant even though all of the (nz?) artists are completely unknown to me.

and lol at the muppets songs bit.
