Conchordance

What I love most of all about the internet is television. Isn’t that funny? Isn’t it just grand? (Why am I channeling Liza today?) Think about it – two wonderful time wasting devices come together to work in perfect harmony as one. It’s like those cartoon specials when He-Man and Shee-Ra would team up. In fact, if I wanted to revisit those good times I could just get online and find an episode. But today, what I’m all about is not Shee-Ra, but something that doesn’t require the cracked veneer of nostalgia (and a tidy spliff) to seem fun. Namely, Flight of the Conchords. Download it. YouTube it. Watch it again and again and hum the catchy tunes. Comedy duos doing music parodies inevitably sounds lame, but this is not lame. This is downloadable brilliance with all the added goodness of those funny NZ accents that make all Kiwis sound like magical pixie children. Yay! Pixie Children! Also: I love songs about Robots.

[FYI: The premise of the show is that New Zealand and New York come together - which is just perfect in so many ways. Not least of which is the Y and Z come together in the alphabet. Go figure.]
