"Bret McKenzie may be best known as one half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords , but lately he's getting a lot of attention for his work as music supervisor on the new Muppets movie. He shares the songs that shaped him as a teenager and laid the groundwork for his hilariously quirky, and funky style - from James Brown and Harry Nilsson to Leonard Cohen." Read on Bret McKenzie - KCRW - 30.11.2011
It would be safe to say that maybe other than The Beatles, no other artist has been covered as much, and by as many different and diverse artists as Bob Dylan . On January 24, the songs of Mr. Zimmerman will once again be interpreted for a new 80 song compilation, that will help celebrate and support the 50th anniversary of human rights organization Amnesty International . The four-disc set, entitled Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International, will feature 75 newly recorded tracks from arguably one of the [...]
I can usually gauge my enjoyment of a television show based on how much my wife hates it. Flight of The Conchords is the perfect example of this. While I roll on the floor laughing my wife has that "huh, that's so stupid" look on her face. So the news of a potential Flight of The Conchords movie being on the horizon gives me the shakes and a great idea for a date night. Bret McKenzie has been out on the publicity circuit for the work that he did for The Muppets [...]
It has only been two years since the second (and abruptly final) season of HBO's Flight of the Conchords, but it feels longer than that. The New Zealand-based duo have separately appeared in several films since then, along with touring last year to support their sophomore album I Told You I Was Freaky, which was mainly
It's been a while since we heard anything from Flight of the Conchords following the 2009 announcement that the duo's ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ flight-of-the-conchords-movie- may-be-in-the-works/59059/
Since departing from our screens after 20092s second season of Flight of the Conchords , fans have been wondering if we might see them again. Although they announced that there would not be a third season, a tour in 2010 supporting the release of their second album (essentially the songs from their second season) also yielded some new songs that left fans hoping that this was an indication that we might see the two New Zealanders on screen again. Earlier this year rumours of a movie surfaced, since that's what a lot of television shows seem to [...]
Kermit and Miss Piggy visits Fallon Wednesday while Animal sits in with The Roots on Friday. (Disney) In this day and age, anything of past cultural significance won't be gone for too long before it's swept back up into the current zietgeist and swallowed whole again. Sadly, most re-visits to our childhood end up falling short ( The A-Team ) or set new standards for 'epic fail' (David E. Kelly's infamous Wonder Woman ). I think that's why there's so much excitement about the release in theaters next week of [...]

Following on from last weeks 80's synth TV themes , here's another irreverent Sunday post for you. Don't get used to it though there isn't that many electronic music/other stuff crossovers in the world. Today we are looking at a niche that combines two of my three favourite things. Electronic music, and comedy. I'm going with ElectroCom. You can keep that! The traditions of Comedy and Music have been intertwined for as long as they have existed, but it's rare for someone to do something genuinely funny with synth music. And I don't [...]

My apologies goes out to those offended by pictures of beautiful women... Overall I'm pretty happy with how this week's FSP turned out. I was a little worried about the lack of good shit coming out this week but I did some digging and was able to put together a solid playlist for you guys. Highlights include [...]
I'm a sucker for Flight . Even though the writing of the show became deplorable over the last season. You can only imagine, then, how much I'm digging this tight electro-house remix with very clever sampling of the Flight of the Conchord's smash hit, "Too Many Dicks" 1) Too Many Dicks (Overwerk Remix) -The Flight of the Conchords Overwerk uses the big sound with tongue in cheek, relishing the absurdity of the lyrics. In all seriousness, however, the subject matter of the lyrics is no [...]
Photography: Gleb Tarassenko And that's how you do electro. Overwerk - The Nth ° Daft Punk - The Son of Flynn (Overwerk Remix) Flight of the Conchords - Too Many Dicks (Overwerk Remix) Overwerk | Daft Punk | Flight of the Conchords
OVERWERK released a new remix last week that slipped by me because I wasn't following him on SoundCloud (a problem which has been corrected). Anyway, I can't say I'm too in love with his originals. I feel like each one is getting better and eventually he'll have a break out hit and be huge, but his remixes right now are definitely next level worthy. And major props for remixing Flight of the Conchords, something you don't see every day. I can already imagine having the beginning of this looped in a situation where the girl to guy [...]
In celebration of hitting 2k fans on Facebook, Overwerk released this electro-fied remix of Flight of the Conchords' comedic track, Too Many Dicks (On the Dance Floor). As always, Overwerk has his synth game proper, and those drops?! Eghck. Preview: Download: FotC - Too Many Dicks (Overwerk Remix) | Mediafire When I was on his [...]
Here we are, 6 hours away from the end. Each hour, as we get closer, the Shank will countdown its 18 favorite apocalypse songs until... well... until we're all gone.
This one grabbed my attention when I scanned the tracklist and saw the closing song was by Flight of the Conchords. I put it on and I was mesmerised. This is a serious contender for the best mix I've featured so far, it's beautifully put together and, most importantly, has a wonderful choice of songs. Download here .
