FotC only to last one more season?

Dave — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:58:11 GMT

I decided to check out WTF! to see if any new updates were on the horizon, and I was saddened by the news of their next season being their last. The news is located on WTF! front page: http://www.whatthefolk.net/index.htm

Anyways here are full photo's of the magazine the story appeared in. Thanks to WTF! for the photo's.

Mr.Death — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:15:12 GMT

Did anyone else see this? Practically nobody has where I come from. Overall, it's a mediocre indie movie, and the best parts are Jermain being generally awkward, but it's simply not that funny.

Why the Conchords really took flight

5:00AM Sunday June 29, 2008

By Michelle Coursey

They're New Zealand's hottest international artists, have been nominated for an Emmy - and are now worth millions of dollars.

But it appears a relatively paltry sum of $300,000 was the real reason TVNZ turned down comedy duo Flight of the Conchords four years ago.

That much-criticised decision by TVNZ's commissioners led the Conchords, Wellingtonians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine ...

Flight Of The Conchords: comedy Kiwis on their musical dabblings

For those of us that found Vince Noir�s hair-fixated surrealism just a touch too pleased with itself in The Mighty Boosh�s lukewarm third round of instalments this year, HBO�s superb Flight Of The Conchords series was simply manna from heaven, chronicling the unstintingly lo-fi adventures of a pair of aspirant Kiwi musicians and their less-than-convincing attempts to take New York by storm.

Curiously taking ...

Sex and the City vs. Flight of the Conchords? Huh?

The LAT undertakes an important sociological mission today, highlighting the basic costuming differences between two very different breeds of obsessive fanperson: The Sex and the City fan and the Flight of the Conchords fan. While one group leans towards unabashed label-whoredom and pricey slingbacks, and the other towards Little Joy-friendly ironic hipsterwear and All-Stars, they manage to find some common ground in the category of animal prints�though in SATC's case, they're ...

Flight of the Conchords get down to their socks.

// Words: Jeff Renaud

You would think following up a Grammy win for best comedy album with their first ever full-length studio release would push Flight of the Conchords into at least the Top 3 in the race to become New Zealand�s most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo, but alas, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement remain the odd band out.

Yeah, as you all can tell, the forum is having a slow time. I haven't put much effort into getting new members, but I plan to as soon as I feel like doing so, I mean this forum isn't going anywhere.

Anyways, around the time of FotC second season, hopefully we get some solid traffic coming in here. I'll attempt my best to get my forum noticed, in the mean time lets wait for the second season to roll around and see what happens.

Xasthur — Sun, 18 May 2008 07:23:53 GMT

Yeah, I haven't been visiting this forum nearly enough lately.

I have been busy all month with various things, and to make matters worse...I have been sick for over a week now!!!

The funny thing is, I still feel like I was getting so much more accomplished last month.

This month has just felt so empty and depressing, and I dunno why

Anyway, i'll be around when I can be.

Yeah I'm having problems with my 360, it won't read games, it can, but it takes forever to get a game to work. I just got GTA IV today too, so that sucks bad. I guess it costs $99 to get it repaired, and they make you pay shipping and handling too.

FotC #3 on the Billboard top 200 this week

Dave — Sat, 03 May 2008 00:04:51 GMT

Pretty awesome news. We can honestly say they've hit total stardom. Many people don't like that though, they liked it better when they were unknown, kind of like the guys only to a certain amount of fans. But hey, I'm happy for them.

Also, it'd be so awesome if they made new music videos for the songs, that'd rock my socks off, my business socks I mean.

This Polygamist garbage

Dave — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:19:34 GMT

Has anyone else seen the news about this crap? Wow, it's somewhat funny. The women who are part of this Polygamist society are like not there, they speak with like no emotion. It's almost weird.

But yeah you should honestly listen to an interview with these women. I like how they don't even speak of the young girls (aged 13 to like 16) getting married to older men, they just always say how they want their children back. It's as if it's all an act.

Got my CD today

Dave — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:42:26 GMT

Yeah, checked Amazon.com and it was there, so I checked the mail and there it was. I just started listening to it, so I'll probably delete the music that's on my computer then, to just save up some music.

I guess there is a vinyl release out too, sounds awesome.

I like the poster that it comes with, but I don't know if I want to hang it up.

So, how is everyone doing anyway?

Xasthur — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:21:35 GMT

There hasn't been much discussion for a while, so I just figured I would write a thread asking how everyone is doing.

I'm just writing a lot of things, working on a few forums, listen to music etc.

Nothing too special really, but i've been around.

How about you folks?

FotC album leaked over the web

Dave — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:24:32 GMT

yes it's true. It was leaked I believe the 12th of April. So yeah you can find that over the web fairly easy.

Anyways I myself downloaded it, and I still can't wait for my CD to come in. I should get it sometime next week, possibly Friday or Saturday.

Can you guys see the banner?

Dave — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:35:33 GMT

I noticed when I checked the forum at school the FotC banner never shows up. Do any of you have that problem?

Thank you to everyone who helped us get this far.

Rhys Darby gig

Paula Thompson — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:51:14 GMT

I live in LA and saw him do his stand up routine at the El Rey theater Feb. 17. There were 2 shows. It was being filmed for DVD (dubb-video-dubb) release on Warner Bros. We were at the early show. Rhys came riding up on a bicycle built for two ("limo driver" in the front seat), carrying a suitcase. I think Rhys tried to pay the car valet w/New Zealand money to park the bike . There was a Johnny Depp impersonator -- we (the people in line) were instructed by the film crew to ignore ...
