Moustache Summer 2009/Lion's Music Recommendations

Lion

Hello loyal readers (?), activity on the blog has been slow as of late...the three lads that proudly make up 3CI have been busy working in academia.  But be assured...this summer the Three Conchords are going to truly show the height of their ambitions and curiosity.  This upcoming holiday, dubbed "Moustache Summer 2009,"will see all sorts of ridiculous attempts at adventure and self-discovery.  It will be marked by a growing of three dirty, stinky, catapillar-like flavor savors a la Dan Corrigan. (If I can handle looking like an adolescent Freddie Mercury whilst attending summer classes and trying to maintain a job.)  (Sidenote 1: Does Wolf know about this plan??) (Sidenote 2: Whilst is a word.)

Several ventures have been discussed within the 3CI entity, and likely only a fraction of those discussed will actually take place (which usually happens).  But, if things go to plan, you can be looking forward to another collaboration with FTM Films on a film project, a dancing man of paradise inside of a shopping mall, a trip to visit our NAFTA partners up North, several video shorts, and frequent updates of how Moustache Summer 2009 is progressing.  (Day by day pictures of my adolescent 'stache?? maybe)

On a less-ambitious-but-still-fking-awesome note, I would like to recommend a few more music artists to check out.

If anyone caught SNL last week, you would've seen 3 performances by the French band Phoenix.  I've heard of them whilst (used it twice!!) circling through my favorite music websites/blogs, but I had never really given them the time of day.  But when I saw their performance, needless to say, I shat myself.  It seriously sounded like a CD recording, and you can be assured it was no Britney lip-sync performance.  I immediately used legal-bending software to download their upcoming album "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix"...but seriously you should consider buying some of this bands material.  Check out the catchy "1901"...




Another band that I stumbled upon is White Rabbits.  Reading about their upcoming album, I found out that one of their previous albums, "Fort Nightly," was good tune after good tune all the way through.  I read this Pitchfork Review, and downloaded the album.  God damn you Pitchfork...you are always right.

"The Plot"



Enjoy.
