Flight of the Conchords

For those of you that love dry humor and music, you must partake of the TV series Flight of the Conchords.

Jermaine and Bret are New Zealanders trying to make it as a band in the US. (New York City more specifically) These episodes are hilarious. The episodes are a lot like Seinfield but with a slight plot line. The humor is very different from Seinfield though. It's a very dry humor. But the biggest difference from typical television is their sporadic music video/novelty performances during the course of the episode's plot line. Their music is odd and weird but totally interesting and catchy. It somehow has artistic quality. So basically, it's not at all like Seinfield.

So watch these short video clips of their episodes and music:

If you're into it

Bret you got it going on

Bowie episode

Performance of "Business Time"
(This one is probably the best, or Bret you got it going on)

"The Humans are Dead"


For the record -- Kelly Russell introduced these guys to me.
