Gorilla: What's up readers? I should be writing my philosophy paper but I have a problem staying focused long enough to get a solid train of thought going. I thought I would exert some negative energy into a post on this blog. This post will briefly unearth some of my feelings on the subject of philosophy.
Because I can't focus I will begin my little rant with something good about philosophy. Philosophy has philosophers. The philosophers have names. The names of the philosphers are used in the best drama series on television, LOST. John Locke/ Bentham, Hume, Rousseau, and others. LOST returns January 21st with back to back episodes. I'm going to need like 3 pairs of undergarments.
Anyway, philosophy is people talking about the deep meanings of things. If you want to be a philosopher, you need to have a lot of time on your hands. If you have no interest in philosophy, it can be a waste of time. Sure its nice to have profound thoughts, but you dont have to write four inch thick books with tiny font.
Jumping to another point (for I have to finish my paper), one philosopher whose work I recently read is Robert Nozick. He described and experience machine that would cause you to experience anything you wanted and it would appear to be real. Anything you want. So Nozick comments, "you would think and feel that you were writing a great novel, or making a new friend, or reading an interesting book." No joke, that is what Nozick said he would experience in this machine that could project ANYTHING. I don't even think people who enjoy reading would use this machine to produce the experience of reading an interesting book. I could think of a vast number of different things I would experience before doing anything involving a book. If I were to make a list of top ten things I would experience, half of them would be too dirty to include on this wholesome blog.
Hitherto, I dont know if I made sense I just had to diffuse some of my energy.
Seriously, reading a book?

The NFL Makes Me Sick
Gorilla: Hello everyone. A few weeks ago my fellow conchord, Wolf, discussed his feelings toward the play of some football teams early on in the sesason. I would also like to express myself on the issue of the NFL. First off, the league has had so many injuries (including paralysis, death, and your brain turnign to goo after you retire) that now any big hit is rewarded with a hefty fine. Well football is a man's game. You got to be TOUGH. You gotta fight through minicamps without keeling over from heat exhaustion. Then comes the pre-seson where the stars of the NFL don't even play because of the risk of injury. You've made it to the regular season. Perhaps the season goes swimmingly. OR....First game of the season you blow out your knee and can't play the rest of the season and you won't be able to try to repeat as MVP (Tom Brady). Perhaps your knees hold up, but as you go across the middle for a 12 yard reception you get your clock cleaned by a free safety trying to end someone. You get up and you don't know where you are. You think you're back at Millridge Elementary and its time for recess on the spider web. But your coach keeps playing you because you are a MAN and you're TOUGH. Ugh.. enough on the life restricting injuries.
My second complaint is that the NFL is sooooooo over-analyzed. You play ONE GAME A WEEK, then you have "experts" like John Clayton and Sean Salisbury discussing the most insignificant stories that mean absolutley nothing. Donovan McNabb didn't know a game can end in a tie (and theres an idiocracy right there), TO would like to make some cathces, he's so selfish and he destroys clubs. Tony Romo went to the movies. Tom Brady impregnated three indonesian circus midgets. WHO CARES!? The NFL is: play one day, talk about off-field nonsense the next six days.
Off-field garbage leads me to my final point. The NFL has to be at leat 64% criminals and law breakers. The best linebacker in the league murdered someone, the former top running back is a drug dealer, and all of the Bengals starters have spent time in jail at some point in the last three years. Adam Pacman Jones recently was given his third chance to play football and not cause off-field raucuses after failing the first two times. For all you die hard NFL fans from back in the day with the original LT and the Juice, I found a site with an NFL All Criminal Team: click
Well thats my rant on America's favorite sport. Enjoy the rest of the season.

Cy-ing Double
Gorilla: Thursday, November 13 Cliff Lee was named the AL Cy Young Award winner. Clifford posted a record of 22-3 accompanied with a petite 2.54 ERA. The Cy Young Award remains in C-Town as last year CC Sabathia captured the recognition as best pitcher in the AL. Before CC, the Indian's only Cy Young had been Gaylord Perry in 1974.
What makes Cliff Lee's award more impressive is that he was sent down to the minors in the middle of the season after putting up a dismal 5-8 record with an ERA of 6.29. During the spring training prior to the 2008 regular season, Lee was fighting for the fifth spot in the rotation. After an intense physical training routine in the off-season and a historic 2008 campaign, Lee is now set as the ace of the staff for 2009.
On another note, Grady Sizemore earned his second Gold Glove and his first Silver Slugger award. These recognitions come from an incredible defensive and offensive season that included a 30-30 year. By the way, our last MVP award was acheived by Al Rosen in 1953. Grady, I think its time that prestigious award returns to Cleveland.
Enjoy some clips of Grady being one of the best players in baseball. His catch at 55seconds is a personal favorite of mine.

Jim from The Office: The Game
Second Conchord - Gorilla
Do you often find yourself losing interest in conversations or in other coloquial situations? Well I have created a new game that will cure your boredom. This tony new game is called "Jim". Named after Jim from The Office, the game is played with one player, the Jim, or possibly with another player, the Pam. The object of the game is to be bored sitting around, possibly during a conversation with other people, and during that time you have to look into an imaginary camera and make a "Jim face" as you spike the camera. If a Pam is playing along, "Jim faces" may be made to him/her but she has to be sitting at a desk approximately twenty degrees north east of the Jim's orientation.
Winning is acheived if you avoid getting caught looking into the camera by the people around you. You are also a winner if this game helps boost your self-esteem.
As with all games, there are sure to be provisions along the way. Try playing "Jim" with your friends or by yourself and let me know how we can make it better.

O Canada
A Special Campaign Comment from Wolf
To all you Mark Muccis in the nation, who repeatedly informed me through your facebook statuses and otherwise that you will be promptly fleeing to Canada following a McCain loss, by all means go. I'm not saying this because I think the country would be a better place without you. Although that's a very real possibility. I'm happy to support your move because it finally proves beyond any shadow of a doubt how stupid you people really are. How ignorant you are in your opposition to a candidate with "socialist" policies whose victory has you instantly singing the chorus of move to Canada. For any conservative who may have stumbled across this post while waiting for their one way flight to Canada and has no idea where I'm going with this: CANADA HAS SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE.
I would love some input from the readers about other ways that Canada is more liberal than the United States, but I don't know of any other specific examples, so (unlike my conservative friends) I won't make generalizations that turn out to be untrue.
So by all means, move to Canada. God knows you won't be missed here.

Long Live the Queen!
Gorilla: Conchords of the world, recently our transcendent blog received an update when we added the new feature located towards the top right of the page. This button displays the number of visitors on the site at that moment. Clicking on the button results in opening a portal to the global world of Three Conchords Inc. Here you can see when people have been reading the spice of life and where our fellow Conchords are from.
Our first visitor from outside the U S of A, is a hero who resides in the city of Newport, United Kingdom. On behalf of Three Conchords, Gorilla salutes you. You are no wanker, there is no bullocks about that.
Here are some things you may not have known about Newport, United Kingdom:
A City in Wales on the bank of the River Usk
Sister city of Annapolis, Maryland
"Newport" comes from the fact that it was a new port for ships
Population of 2,398,458,123
All ships in the port are made of gold
Frodo complemented it as "one of the most relaxing stops on the way to Mordor"
Thank you visitors from Newport, UK. We hope to see more people from across the globe grace us with their presents and presence.

Great Day
Gorilla: When I arose from my slumber this morning, I was not aware of what would be in store on this chilled autumn Sunday. After returning from a morning with the Lord, I logged on to the world wide web and was greeted with the bubbly news that New York Yankees young prodigal son, Joba Chamberlain, was arrested for a DUI. Thankfully, the pin-striped punk did not harm anyone else in his drunken stupor. Don't drink and drive, fellow Conchords.
As the day trickled onward, another surprise arose when I saw that our friend, Wolf/First Conchord, has finally posted once more. This is good news for Wolf, for Lion and I were talking behind his back about replacing him.
The day of fun concluded as the Boston Red Sox were rendered ineffective offensively and were finally eliminated from the 2008 playoffs. I hate the Red Sox. The end proved to be quite poetic as the Baby Rays looked to one of their own that made the rest of the team look like seasoned veterans. David Price, the first pick of the 2007 draft shut down Boston and got the last four outs of the 2008 ALCS. It was refreshing to see a team built mainly from their own system (Rays 6/9 starters) take down a money-dependent club that was only able to produce three starters in their lineup.
Another stat that you may end up seeing on the Sport Center:
Boston Red Sox Payroll: $133,220,112 Rank-4
Tampa Bay Rays Payroll: $43,422,997 Rank-29 of 30 (numbers from espn.com)
And for the record I want the Phillies to win the World Series.

"Pro" Football
First Conchord - Wolf
Maybe my sample size is too small and this generalization is unjustified, but I was embarrassed by the NFL this weekend. I'm basing this claim off of the Browns-Redskins and Raiders-Jets games. These were possibly the most unbearable football games I have ever seen, and this is only one week removed from Ohio State-Purdue.
Browns-Redskins
Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards combined to create the most impotent passing attack in the game. Edwards backed up the self-generated hype from his "Braylon unmasked" segment on sportscenter last week by dropping more passes than he caught. It must feel good for Braylon to back up his talk with unprecedented results and silence anyone who would say he can't catch a fucking football to save his life. Anderson likewise silenced critics with a clutch 14/37 passing performance. 38% completion percentage is an incredibly generous way to summarize his performance as it doesn't take into account his unique ability to miss wide open receivers by 10 yards or more, or how he delivered an Eli Manningesque drive at the end of the game; giving up at the 40 yard line and putting up 4 incomplete passes in a row like any superbowL MVP would. The game entered the third quarter scoreless and could not have realistically been worse in any way.
Jets-Raiders
Tuned in to this game at the end of the fourth quarter to see compelling footage of two teams putting everything on the line in a close game to determine which team wanted it less. Brett Favre showed everyone what a seasoned veteran he is by floating a lame duck well over the head of his receiver and into the outstretched arms of an oakland dback towards the end of the first overtime. In a startling display of grit by a young player, however, the dback managed to drop the pass and showcase the young talent of the NFL. At some point a field goal was kicked to end the torture and the Jets came out on top of the suck-off.
I read an interesting column by a Pittsburgh writer about how the NHL needs to ban fighting (by interesting I mean retarted). I have yet to see a boring NHL game and there is a specific reason for this. In addition to intimidating the other team and energizing your own team, a good fight in a hockey game can take an uneventful game and completely change its pace.
EX:
The NFL should seriously consider adding this element to its game for weeks like this. But until it does, I would like to thank the NFL for reminding me of all the reasons I like hockey more.

What Lion is Listening To
Third Conchord - Lion
With the recent life-changing event known as college, this king of the jungle has been roaring over his inability to download hoards of illegal tunes. It has truly been humbling. I definetly take for granted having open internet access back home. Sure, maybe downloading music illegally is wrong. I do kind of feel bad doing it, especially because the music I'm downloading seems to be from bands and groups without a penny to their name. But hey, most of these bands aren't in it for the money anyway. That's probably why their music is good in the first place.
Without being able to go torrent-crazy in this intellectual setting, I have gained a better appreciation for several bands I had previously downloaded music by. It almost makes me somewhat happy that I have finally gained the ability to give certain albums second, third, and forth chances to impress me. And, shit, have I been impressed by...
The Walkmen
I was bored to DEATH by the Walkmen at first. I loved "The Rat" immediately, but I thought they were just straight up dry otherwise. But the release of their new album, "You & Me," completely changed my mind and I gave them a second chance. "On the Water" is now one of my favorite songs. And they are great live. Check these out...
Ra Ra Riot
I had thought Ra Ra Riot was just another corny indie pop band before I downloaded "The Rhumb Line," their first LP. I shouldn't judge a group by their name. They are poppy, but not in a semi-gay Los Campesinos way. They have catchy hooks and I like the lead singer's voice. Check out "Dying is Fine."
Caribou
This guy isn't for everyone. Dan Snaith, aka Caribou, appeals to the kinds of people who like atmospheric, Brian Eno-like music. This, without a doubt, is THE best music to go to sleep to. Not because it's boring (although many will think so), but because you almost get caught in a trance just listening to him. Very hypnotic. Check out "She's the One."
If these aren't for you, go listen to the Jonas Brothers and suck a dick.

Female Moustaches Revisited
Gorilla: Ladies and gentlemen, mere weeks after my profound post on female staches, this commercial popped up on the airwaves.
After seeing that the masses have taken my thoughts to heart, a single tear trickled down my face until it kissed my almost moustache.
Keep up the good work ladies.

Gorilla's 2008 MLB Playoff Predictions
Gorilla: It's one of my favorite times of the year. The time when air begins to chill as men become legends, forever forged into the history of baseball.
October=Playoffs
This year's playoffs are sure to be an amazing finale to a great regular season. Here are some things to keep an eye on during the road to the World Series.
-The Tampa Bay Rays' first playoff experience ever
-Chicago Cubs looking to win a championship for the first time in a century
-The Boston Red Sox looking to repeat as champs and win 3 of the past 5 Titles
-Milwaukee Brewers' first time in the playoffs in 26 years
Here is how the first round of Division Series are set up.
ALDS:
Boston Red Sox (95-67) -Wild Card @
Las Angeles Angels of Aneheim (100-62)
Chicago White Sox (89-74) @
Tampa Bay Rays (97-65)
NLDS:
Las Angeles Dodgers (84-78) @
Chicago Cubs (97-64)
Milwaukee Brewers (90-72) Wild Card @
Philadelphia Phillies (92-70)
As always in these situations, plenty of predictions are to be made. Here you go:
Angels Def. Red Sox
BoSox a little dinged up, no Manny, home-field advantage Angels
Rays Def. White Sox
ChiSox a little aged, Joe Maddon keeps the troops focused
Cubs Def. Dodgers
Cubs get solid pitching and hitting, a strong force in these playoffs
Brewers Def. Phillies
Great match-up, two emotionally charged teams, Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia push the Brew Crew forward
Gorilla's Championship Series Prediction
ALCS: Angels Def. Rays
Rays magical season ends at the mercy of one of the most potent line-ups around
NLCS: Brewers Def. Cubs
No Ben Sheets- No World Series, Derek Lee steps up big, epic series of Central Division foes
Gorilla's World Series Prediction
Angels Def. Cubs
Dominant bullpen shuts down the Cubs, Vlad slugs, Cubs pitching fades
That is how I think it will turn out (If not Angels, then Red Sox WS Champs).
What I would like to see is a Brewers vs Rays World Series with the Brewers ending up on top. I belive in Ryan Braun and CC Sabathia.
Let me know what you think will happen.
Enjoy the post season.

The Holy Grail of Dorm Life
Gorilla: You are getting ready to go off to college. Let's see if you are ready:
-Cheez-Its/other snacks
-Kool-Aid Jammers/other beverages
-Overrated Macbook Pro
-13" television
-Shower shoes (you know why)
-Nail clippers
-Box of adult reading
Looks good. You have everything you need to enjoy your time in your dorm. Right?
Of course you are wrong. You are forgetting the single greatest item a college student can have the pleasure of owning.
That's right, you forgot the 9 Pack Charmin Ultra Soft 2-Ply Toilet Paper.
First off, just look at how happy that brown bear is on the package. If everyone in the world were a bear with a roll of this TP, all the trouble would wipe away. College campuses are abundant with that infamous, scratchy and rough toilet paper that is the width of a dollar bill. The paper is so thin and unreliable, one moment I'm cleaning the cavern then -POP- I'm checking the health of my prostate. Other than the undurability of the paper, it is also very rough. I'm not a magician. Only on the rarest of occasions will I need less than two trips to the south for hurricane clean-up. After a few wipes, your rump feels like it spent the afternoon staring up at the sun on a Florida beach. It burns and chafes.
Please do yourself a favor and go out and purchase your own 9 Pack Charmin Ultra Solf 2-Ply Toilet Paper and you can experience the greatest joy in the world: a soft carressing wipe.

After a few wipes, your rump feels like it spent the afternoon staring up at the sun on a Florida beach. It burns and chafes.
Please do yourself a favor and go out and purchase your own 9 Pack Charmin Ultra Solf 2-Ply Toilet Paper and you can experience the greatest joy in the world: a soft carressing wipe.

Football + Country Music = Absolutely Retarded
Third Conchord- Lion
I'm sort of stealing this topic from a story I saw on Yahoo! Sports a week or two ago. I thought the topic needed to be discussed further. I mean, seriously, what is with the connection between football and country music?!?!? Why do television networks insist on playing god-awful country music during football game intros, outros, any-tros for that matter?!? Anyone??
Could it possibly be that football is solely an American sport and country music is solely an American music genre?
WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?!?
Country music blows. It blows even worse when its paired with football.
Lets go through the basics...
Football - Manly, ruthless, fierce, competitive, fast, exciting, emotional
Country Music - Thinks its manly, never fierce, usually consisting of an overweight southerner who talks too much about drinking beer and his F-150. The demographic for country music usually consists of high school girls who memorize every word of a Rascall Flatts song and sing with their girlfriends while buzzing around in their little cute red Mazdas.
Another problem with this combination is simply the fact that most likely, 2% of NFL players actually listen to country music. Those players are mostly overweight, white offensive lineman that have confederate flags tattooed on their flabby arms.
Wouldn't heavy riffs and rhythmic beats be a little more suitable to the game of football? Country music has never been seen as really "cool" or "motivational."
I'm done with this rant. It's 1:00 am and its been a while since I've made a post. This was simply too nagging to let die...and it had to be said.
But if I could ask one question of you American football fans out there..
Can we please put a boot in the ass of country music with football??

Female Moustaches
Gorilla: After reading the title of this post, you may need to sit down and take a deep breath. It is understandable, but I am about to make a proposition that may change society forever.
This topic first arose in my mind when I glanced at a female staff member at my school and there seemed to be about one too many hairs on her upper lip. For some reason I did not immediately run to the bathroom to reintroduce myself to my Ramen noodles I had for lunch. I was fine with it. Acceptance flowed through me followed by the belief that all upper lips were created equal. So here it is: IT SHOULD BE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR WOMEN TO HAVE MOUSTACHES
Now, before you start rioting in the streets or doing anything else crazy like wearing a Boston RedSox hat, let me explain myself.
I'm not saying that I am attracted to woolly women, just that some ladies should be allowed to sport possibly the greatest facial attribute of all time. Being able to grow facial hair is like having a super power. If a female can grow a stache better than I can, go for it. I'm not saying I can't grow one, heck give me a few weeks and you'll want me to mow your lawn.
I'm not forcing society to think that the female moustache is sexy. I would just like society to be walking down the street and see Ms. Jane Doe but mistake her for Rollie Fingers and be OK with it.
This is a hot topic and I am sure it will be debated to no end during the presidential election race. Please debate yourselves with comments.

15. Climbing Up The Walls
16. Bodysnatchers
17. How to Disappear Completely
Shows like these remind me why Radiohead are the single greatest band in the world today. There is absolutely no comparison. Only Radiohead can make me spend $80 within the first 10 minutes i arrived at Blossom Music Center. $40 for their shirt, $30 for a Grizzly Bear shirt, and $10 for a tour poster. I could've spent another 10 bucks if i wanted to quench my deadly thirst with one of their ridiculously expensive bottled waters...but i held off.
The show started promptly at 7:30, which was a surprise. Grizzly Bear played a tight, quick 8 or 9 song set (don't have the setlist), but they showed why sites like Stereogum rank them as the best live band around. Daniel Rossen and Ed Droste perfectly complement eachother with their singing while Chris Taylor harmonizes in the background. They played old favorites, like "Knife" and "On a Neck, On a Spit" as well as new material, most notably "Two Weeks" (which they debuted on Letterman last week.) However, they were off the stage by about 8:10, leaving us wanting a little bit more. But it's impossible to be that greedy when you have Thom and the gang waiting to come on next.
And they didn't dissapoint. They took the stage at about 8:35 and Thom almost immediately broke out into his signature nerdy-white-boy dance on "15 step." For most of the almost 3-hour set, they neglected The Bends (damnit) and Pablo Honey (which everyone expected.) But their set was an otherwise good representation of their past work. My personal favorite of the night was possibly "Nude." It is is truly the best representation of Thom's beautiful falsetto and songwriting ability. However, this show was not only about the audiorgasms (yes i made that up), but also about the videorgasms (stick with me.) The lighting at the show was truly visually stimulating, epic, fantastic, and, well, simply ORGASMIC (as shown by the red headed broad in front of us who would NOT stop dancing like a complete lunatic...we tried to get footage but it was too dark). They also played "Pyramid Song" and "A Wolf at the Door" for the first time on their tour this year. Jonny busted out the ondes martenot for the haunting "Climbing Up the Walls," a personal favorite of mine. The set "ended" with "Bodysnatchers" and "How to Disappear Completely."
The first encore was a given. Everyone knew they had to come out and play some more classics, which they did. After starting out with the beautiful "Videotape," Thom said "You might know this one" and then everyone heard the opening signature guitar of "Paranoid Android." (which needs to be on Rock Band or Guitar Hero). After ending the 5-song encore with "Street Spirit," the folks of Cleveland weren't ready to go home just yet.
The second encore was nice treat from those old British geezers. "House of Cards," "Lucky," and "Everything in it's Right Place" finished off the show for good. The lighting during "Everything" was mind-blowing, as the words to the chorus were vastly projected behind the band. In a completely bad-ass exit, they left one at a time, Thom leaving first, followed by Colin and Phil, leaving Ed on his guitar and Jonny messing around with the ondes. When they both finally left and the lights turned on, everyone was still awestruck by the legendary performance they had just witnessed.

Motion Picture Magic
Gorilla: Razzanian Devil Productions and FTM Film are teaming up to create this year's smash blockbuster hit. Us here at Three Conchords Inc. are tickled to say that only here will you get the most in depth behind the scenes information on the project. The project remains untitled and no release date has been set. Release has been rumored for late summer 2008, but production delays may push the opening to early fall 2008. Little information on the plot of the movie has been revealed, but this upcoming week the Three Conchords will sit down with the creative minds behind this film and have the interview everyone has been waiting for.
Stay up to date with the latest production information. Check the video below for a taste.
Long Awaited
First conchord - Wolf
Its here! I feel like a child on Christmas. Actually, probably more like a Jewish kid on Hanukah would feel. I'm not really sure how that would feel, but probably about 1/8 as exciting as Christmas morning. I don't know. Some comments from the Jewish community of readers could help clear this up for me. Maybe a half-jewish/half-catholic reader. Someone whose life is a juxtaposition of holiday emotions in the wintertime. Let me know. Anyways, ITS HERE!!
I know what you're thinking, "I forgot what the focus of this blog was because this story follows no logical train of thought. And I'm curious as to what has finally arrived. I hope its my new menorah." Well you're correct to question whether I will ever get to the point. However this surprise does not stylishly cover a portion of your head as a religious symbol. Do you want to know what's gotten my nipples into a frenzy?! I know you do, be patient, I'll feed you baby birds.
On July 22, 2008, Zack de la Rocha broke his relative 7 year silence with a brand new EP. The 5 song album under ANTI records features Rage frontman de la Rocha and drummer Jon Theodore and has already led to multiple knicker urinations on my own part. The reason for the EP's rave "hanukah morning" reviews was my slight disappointment that new music from Zack is not also from Rage. As I write this entirely too long blog, I sample some tunes off the EP and its insanely unique sound, and I am now forced to re-evaluate my emotions as 9/8 as excited as a Catholic kid who just kidnapped Santa and raided his giant sack. (Sorry Jewish community, the quality of this release makes you no longer needed. Thanks for your help though.)
"One Day as a Lion is both a warning delivered and a promise kept."
Music Recommendations
Third Conchord - Lion
I grow bored of music very regularly, so I frequently like to look for something different to expand my music taste. Most of the time I end up giving them a few listens and stop there. But some bands or artists grab my attention immediately and refuse to let it go. Here are some recommendations if your looking for something different...
Panda Bear
-Panda Bear is Noah Lennox, a member of the band Animal Collective. I've been into their stuff for a while, but I've been listening to his solo album, titled Person Pitch, for a while now and I really enjoy it.
Song to Try: Comfy in Nautica - I really like the lyrics in this song
Black Lips
- I got their album Good Bad Not Evil a few weeks ago, and it's already gotten heavy play on my iTunes. I guess you can say they are a true "punk" band, but not in the same way that word is thrown around today to describe bands like Green Day and other shit.
Songs to Try: Cold Hands and Bad Kids
M83
- M83 is a very interesting band. When i got their album Saturdays = Youth, i wasn't expecting much except for a few cool sounding 80's synth-lead songs. But somehow the complex layers in their songs kept me repeatedly listening to their songs. They sound their best when blasted in some high quality headphones.
Songs to Try: Kim and Jessie and Graveyard Girl

Jamie Lidell = Modern Soul King
Third Conchord - Lion
Jamie Lidell is British. nerdy. white. crazy. What would you expect if I told you he was an artist? "Oh, he's probably the lead
singer in some indie band...the kind where you can barely hear his voice over the distorted guitars and synthesizers," you would say. Well, that's what i thought at first too. But i happened to stumble across this video on www.pitchfork.tv the other day, and, well, let's just say that shit was surprising...
It's funny how everyone there that didn't know Jamie probably had no idea that was coming. Jamie's latest record is entitled "Jim" and is out now on Warp Records.

Lion's Youtube Videos of the Week
This is the new video for Radiohead's "House of Cards." Instead of using cameras and lighting, 3D plotting technology was used, which "collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects."
..and R.I.P. George Carlin
Nickelback: Pop Sensation or Turds with Instruments?
If you did not chose the latter, find yourself a different blog. We have been around for a few days now, I don't know what took me so long to rip into this lousy excuse for a band. The dreadful droning of lead singer Chad Kroeger destroys nearly every song this band creates. The other songs are ruined by crappy lyrics. I know this band is Canadian, but that does not affect my feelings toward the band. I support our northern neighbors. They once held the Olympics in Calgary where the first ever Jamaican bobsled team participated. If you recall, the Canadians gave those mon one of the greatest slow-claps ever performed.
But I digress. Nickelback sucks. However, this Gorilla likes to take positives out of the worst of scenarios. For example, whenever a Nickelback tune crosses the airwaves of my radio, I am able to better my reflexes as I am forced to immediately change the station.

Rachel Dawes
The Dark Knight: Terrific cinematic experience, doubtlessly one of the best movies I've seen in a theater in a long while. Leaving Regal Cinemas, however, I did not find myself mulling over the subtleties of a disturbingly perfect Joker assumed by the late Heath Ledger. My mind's eye wandered instead into the deep canyons formed beneath Rachel Dawes's eyes. The nagging question of why Katie Holmes had recieved plastic surgery from a doctor with chronically damaged eye sight in order to better fit her role in The Dark Knight still turns in my brain. I am also unable to venture a guess as to why the writers of The Dark Knight did not offer a simple explanation as to why Rachel's crippling fear of being molested by Batman in her sleep had given her a case of insomnia which had devastating effects on her physical appearance and acting ability.
Bottom line: Maggie Gyllenhaal is an uggo. She wasn't bad looking in Donnie Darko (what happened?). Heath Ledger has replaced God as God in heaven.

Review Response
Wolf: I have to agree with everything said in Lion's review. I've heard that there's original music on this CD not found on the show, is this rumor true? and does the song Jenny appear on the CD? In addition to the comments made by the Third Conchord, I would like to bring to light a similar artist. While on some levels the satiric melodies of Bo Burnham may be less musically rich than those of the Conchords, I find his lyrics incredibly creative and intelligent. I think fans of the conchords should check him out on youtube and look for Bo to make some noise in comedy in the future.
Record Review : Flight of the Conchords
Third Conchord - Lion
Rating : 9.0/10
Here's something you know : Flight of the Conchords are hilarious. Here's something you might not know : They are pretty god damn good musicians. On their first self titled LP, the New Zealand comedy duo succeed in making you laugh while getting the songs stuck in your head for weeks. Bret and Jemaine aren't stupid. This isn't an in your face comedy album that tries too hard and falls flat on its own face (ala Tenacious D). These songs are carefully crafted and layered so you discover new things about them the second or third times through.
The album immediately grabs your attention with the charming "Foux du Fafa." It is followed by the synth-lead "Inner City Pressure" and perhaps FOTC's most popular song, "Hiphopopatamus vs. Rhymenocerous." Bret and Jemaine perfectly mock the self-promotion aspect of the rapping business while making you laugh. The first single off of FOTC is "Ladies of the World." Rhys Darby, 'Murray' from the HBO show, makes a guest appearance on "Leggy Blonde." 'I had a budgie but it died. I like...PIE!' Darby sings. The album continues strong and finishes strong with "Business Time" and "Bowie," both already established hits.
Overall, Bret and Jemaine have created something new with this LP. Never before have we seen such smart, well-crafted comedy in music before. Their acoustic guitars, bass guitars, synthesizers, and other instruments lay the perfect background to their jokes. It would have been easy for them to spit a few jokes into the microphone while occasionally strumming their guitars, but they decided to make an album worth listening to for two reasons: the music AND the jokes. And that is what will keep the Flight of the Conchords around for many years to come.
