Flight of the Conchords

I don't think I've posted anything about Flight of the Conchords here, and that's quite an oversight on my part. I'm a huge FoC fan, and I have been since before moving to Wellington. They are a two-man folk-comedy duo from New Zealand, in case you've missed out on seeing their antics. "Business Time" is probably their most famous song, but I think they're all pretty damn funny. Since I've been back visiting I've amped up most friends' and family's FoC exposure to the point that I've now fully addicted most of them (just in time for Father's Day...). CDs, DVDs of the show, youtube,... ah yes, so much to love.





Living in Wellington I'm only a few degrees of separation from either Conchord since they met at my uni, so perhaps someday I'll get to meet the illustrious duo. Just living in New Zealand has given me a whole new perspective on their comedy, though - some of the shows' jokes really require a working knowledge of NZ culture.

Their CD is $30 in Wellington, but it was only $10 here! What are their overheads?!
