![Robyn Hitchcock: I Often Dream of Trains in New York [DVD] (Reviews)](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2139363_lg.jpg)
Good performances of great songs, but there's nothing to see here, people. Not too long ago, I reviewed the new Flight of the Conchords album, and among my complaints was the charge that some of the songs didn't work without their accompanying visuals. Well, feel free to haul out your Emerson and find something about foolish consistency, because I'm about to say that Robyn Hitchcock's concert DVD I Often Dream of Trains in New York would be a lot stronger without the whole "DVD" part. Takes all...
Contrast Podcast recently asked music bloggers like myself to submit our favorite 50 songs of the year for their annual "Festive 503 podcast. Our selections were then compiled into a shortlist and now we've been asked to recruit votes to narrow it down. For the curious, I've bolded the 10 songs I personally voted for. I really, really want "Nice Very Nice" by Kurt Vonnegut & Dave Soldier (from their album Ice-9 Ballads ) to make the final list. Not only because it's my favorite song of the year, from my favorite album of the year, [...]

Belle de Jour came out on Sunday! And she has a ... PhD? This is a bit unnerving for those of us who are still in school. Is this what'll I'll have to do to get funding as a student in the UK? 300 per hour sounds lovely, but I don't think this job is for everyone. (Neither does Brooke.) Besides, I only write about prostitution... I've been in love with this song from Flight of the Conchords for this past month, so this should come as [...]

Nadat ik deze cd voor het eerst in de speler duwde moest ik even slikken. Klopt dit wel? Moet ik een arrenbie-cd bespreken? Na een paar minuten speurwerk op internet had ik het door. Flight Of The Conchords is een...
Comedy and music are wonderful bedfellows – witness the zany, seminal humour of Monty Python's songs or the off-the-wall ditties sung on The Mighty Boosh – and Flight of the Conchords are just the latest in a long line of comedic groups to dabble in music. After working together for more than a decade, Kiwis Bret Mackenzie and Jemaine Clement have become seriously hot property in the comedy world, thanks to their HBO series The Flight of the Conchords, and key to their success is that they're not just able to trade witty repartees, but they're adept at [...]

It's difficult to evaluate a comedy album from a group based on a cable television show. That's the challenge we face with Flight of the Conchords' sophomore album I Told You I Was Freaky. The New Zealand duo's second album tends towards the hip hop/dance end of the musical spectrum. At times, like the low self-esteem rapper on "Hurt Feelings", the pair create an extra level of humour by

While on the Warner Bros. lot this week, a friend of YuppiePunk World HQ sent us the above image after trying to view the site in between meetings. Alongside an image of Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr., aka Sylvester the Cat, aka gringo pussy-gato, is written: THE PAGE YOU HAVE REQUESTED HAS BEEN BLOCKED BECAUSE IT MAY CONTAIN CONTENT INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE WORKPLACE . Apparently we're the Tweety Bird of the Internets. And though we'd like to think we make merrie melodies, apparently they're too edgy for some places of employ. We are flattered to have been called out by [...]

How long can a musical comedy outfit keep its act fresh? That question has clearly passed the minds of the guys in Flight of the Conchords, who are considering whether to film a third season of their popular show for HBO. Jermaine Clement from the band was talking about his concerns to Reuters. "It very likely might not" return for a third season, Clement said. "It could come back in a shorter season or like a special. We've got to write the series, but we've also got to write the songs, and just dividing [...]
