Flight of the Conchords!!!


After my last, very deep and slightly depressing blog, I am writing about one of my favourtie things- Flight of the Conchords! They are the funniest thing in the world! Let me introduce you to Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie.
Jemaines the one with the glasses. Bret is the other one. They are kiwis from Wellywood who are making it big in America right now. Their manager is Murray and their fan-base is Mel. Here is an orsum quote from their sight that is pretty much FOTC. "Flight of the Conchords have put up a website on the internet. A spokesman from the band (Bret) said it there was a five year delay launching the website online due to a 'disagreement'. Apparently there was debate over how many times letter 'W' should appear in the 'WWW' part of the web address. While Bret wanted four making the domain name wwww.conchords.co.nz Jemaine was vying for seven with wwwwwww.conchords.co.nz. It turns out that you're only allowed three anyway." he he he. I like the Flight of the Conchords. They make me laugh. And sing. Especially when I'm listening to their music. Like now. And a lot of my time coz I love them so much! So should everyone else. Coz they are orsum. Other people like them too. They have won some prizes.
The BBC radio series won the Bronze in the Comedy section of the Sony Radio Academy Award in 2006.[13]
On November 15, 2007, The Dominion Post awarded Clement and McKenzie with the 2007 Arts Wellys, and named them the 2007 Wellingtonians of the Year.[15]
Time magazine's James Poniewozik named it one of the Top 5 New TV Series of 2007, ranking it at #2.[16]
On February 10, 2008, The Distant Future won the Grammy for Best Comedy Album.[17]
Entertainment Weekly named Flight of the Conchords the seventh best show of 2007.
Oooh. Beat that. They rock. They sing funny songs and act in a funny tv series and even manage to do them both at the same time. They act like a naive, failing band from New Zealand, where no-one has ever heard of, lost in the middle of American hard-outness. They are hilarious. But I am sad when they aren't on. Like now. But I'm listening to their music now so it's all right. I think thats enough for now. Flight of the Conchord ROCK!!!!!!
