Flight of the Conchords

Over the last several weeks, I have become hopelessly addicted to the band and TV show, Flight of the Conchords. And now, they’ve released the first epsiode of the second season early on Funny or Die. Unfortunately, the show will be on HBO starting in January, which means I’ll have to play catch up.

That’s so wrong

Last night, I had Led Zeppelin’s Communication Breakdown stuck in my head. It was warring for brain airtime with Abba’s Dancing Queen, to my irritation and displeasure And then I passed the earworm infection on to someone else. He growled that because of something I said, he’d be listening to Wayne Newton on his way [...]
