New Favs in TV, Music, and Web
I have a new favorite in TV shows and musical groups. It's "Flight of the Conchords."
This group and their HBO show are hilarious! (But they are also not for kids or folks who are easily offended. Adult content abounds. You've been warned.)
To get a sample, click on over to one of my new favs on the web: YouTube.
(Yeah, I know, I'm late to the party. So what's new?)
Just search on "Flight of the Conchords" for a wide variety of related videos, including some of my favorite Conchord songs: Inner City Pressure, Hiphopopotamus Vs. Rhymenoceros, A Kiss is Not a Contract, and Business Time. (I generally prefer the videos from the TV show instead of the live performances because it often pays to see the songs in context).
A sample lyric from Inner City Pressure:
"Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11
From a quarter past six ‘til a quarter to seven
The manager Bevan starts to abuse me
Hey man, I just want some Muesli."
I'm also loving YouTube for watching old scenes from General Hospital, especially snippets from the glory days of CarLo. (Oh how I miss Tamara Braun and Ted King!) GH was Must See TV back then. Now it's more like Must Blog TV.
Which brings me to my other new web fav:
Serial Drama
These chicks rock! Reading their blog entries about GH is more entertaining that watching GH.
