Raw talent.
This is what I would describe the marvelous band from New Zealand. Flight of the Conchords.
Their wit, their music, their overall talent, the dialogue. It is simply awesome.
I discovered them by chance while flipping through the TV a few months back.
In general I am a huge fan of comedy shows, stand ups and specials, but I always skip the musical comedy segments because they do not appeal to me.
By pure chance this band from New Zealand caught my attention and I was awestruck.
The way they glorify the mundane is deeply interesting and hilariously funny. I thought that Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld mastered the art of the inane, but here comes a band from New Zealand that managed to put a twist on it, take it to another level and musically entertain as well.
Great stuff
I love it when I make discoveries like that. Not for the entertainment factor alone, which is ample, but for recognizing excellence in talent and in attention to details and in the craftsmanship.
I do recommend it to many of my friends but few of them find it funny.
But I do, and I keep watching it again and again.
So, Jemaine and Bret, if you are reading this, great stuff, well done and keep it up.
