Flight of the Conchords -BBC Audio-

Prototype (Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords) Video Kid is the alter ego of Bret McKenzie, one half of the comedy folk duo The Flight of The Conchords, whose debut TV series is airing currently on HBO. Bret was also a founding member of The Black Seeds, one of New Zealand's most successful acts. And is if that isn't pedigree...

I like this. I love Flight of the Conchords!
This was a disappointment. The BBC show material was used by the guys to create the HBO show, which I felt was superior because the visuals add to the charm of FOTC. Overall, many of the gags will be familiar if you watched the HBO episodes. As Brett and Jermaine "admitted" on NPR, the BBC show is about them making it in England while the HBO show is about them making it in the States -- that is about the only difference. If you have to have the whole FOTC material, I would recommend it. Otherwise, it is not worth the investment.

Did you love them on HBO's One Night Stand?
If you were hoping for a collection of songs like the hilarious and well written numbers on the HBO special, get ready to hate this item. These are recordings from a BBC Radio series they did, which are almost all talk, no rock. Or even folk. And it's not like you can skip a talking track or two and get to a song track. The couple songs I stumbled onto were buried deep inside talking tracks. You say: What's wrong with the talking tracks? I say: While I haven't listened intently to them to discover how great or terrible they may be, they're just aren't what I was hoping for. Hope this helps, Love, Your Mom
