New Discovery

Yesterday, I discovered "The Flight of the Conchords" on FNMTV with their video 'All the ladies of the World'. Hilarious. It was like watching an SNL short appear on MTV as a legitimate music video. How transcendent.

Apparently, these guys (Jermaine and Bret) have had a show on HBO and have toured Australia and the US as well as their homeland, New Zealand, as a parody folk duo (for a couple of years now...or longer...what do i know???). To me (the one who was born yesterday), their live performances are better than anything else they do, especially their 'Business Time,' 'Issues/Think about it,' 'Hiphopopotamus v. Rhinoceros,' and the classic 'Albi, the Racist Dragon.' I do give a 'kudos' (whatever that is...sounds like a candy bar to me) to another one of their great music videos, 'Mutha Uckers.' Pretty good stuff.

Anyway, here's a little 'Business Time' for your viewing pleasure. P.S., what is the deal with 'FNMTV'?? According to a commercial I saw, it stands for "Friday Night Music Television.' Okay, MTV, or FNMTV, or whatever your name is nowadays, how come I saw this 'FNMTV' program on a Wednesday morning? MTV. Take a clue from Youtube...or make a Youtube show. Join the two worlds together.
