Flight of the Conchords

If you're already familiar with Flight of the Conchords, then there's not a lot I need to tell you about this solid disc. If you're NOT familiar with Flight of the Conchords, well then, you may want to consider becoming such.

Flight of the Conchords is a "folk parody duo" that plays whimsical songs about whatever they happen to feel like writing about. Most of the tracks on this particular disc all stem from the first season of the TV show they did on HBO. Many of my favorites are contained herein, such as "Boom" and "Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymnocerous", and, "Bowie". A couple tracks make a second appearance on this disc, having already been featured in the "The Distant Future" EP. ("Business Time" ... Read More:

For Your Consideration

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
by: Kathy Griffin

Release Date June 17, 2008
Firstly, I am so excited to have tickets for her live show in November. I love Kathy's comedy. She is truly one of my top 5 people I would love to hang out with for a week or two. I feel a connection with her honesty, and sincerity about what she feels about certain events.
My love list;
Mom's, Dad's, Nana's, dogs, cats, humming birds, ducks, and all animals that walk, crawl, slither, or drag their butts around on this Earth.

Love and Peace to all who inherit this space called Earth, Donny

Let the Buyer Beware

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
by: Lenny Bruce

Release Date September 14, 2004
Hands down one of the best we'll ever see. When Dick Gregory puts you in a class with Mark Twain and Richard Pryor in terms of funniest ever, that says something. I found a copy used at a Newbury Comics, and for half off, and after listening, I would easily pay the 70$ for this collection.

Dress to Kill

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
starring: Eddie Izzard
directed by: Lawrence Jordan (II)

Release Date November 26, 2002
. Dress to Kill Eddie Izzard at the top of his form. Friends either find him sensational or don't like his kind of humor. There seems to be no in-between. This DVD is preceded by a regrettable bit of nonsense re San Francisco that might discourage new viewers from getting on to his marvelous stage presentation. His NY presentation of this show, shown on HBO, was better, mostly since it didn't have the terrible introductory material in this DVD. Looking forward to a DVD of his current show, "Stripped".

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
from: Buena Vista Pictures

Release Date December 05, 2000
If you have seen the movie, then you know the music is great! This a fun CD to put in when your driving around with the top down on your convertible or riding in your jeep/old bronco. Parts of the movie come to mind when you hear the songs. Keeps you smiling.

The Distant Future

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
by: Flight of the Conchords

Release Date August 07, 2007
Flight of the Conchords should have done a little more brainstorming when trying to come up with things to sing about. This disc has five songs, and two of them are about sex. The opening track, "Business Time," is a rhythm-driven slow jam with the singer breathily monologuing about having sex with his wife/girlfriend... not a very welcoming way to start off your very first disc release. We move on to "If You're Into It," and hey, more sex! This time, the singer is encouraging a girl to have sex with some other guy.
Once you get past those two, the rest of the disc is very good. "I'm Not Crying" is, without a doubt, the best Conchords song yet. The subtle ironies and slight jabs at psychological denial of a lover's rejection are absolutely brilliant. ... Read More:

Have Another Ball!

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date July 08, 2008
After the mediocre "Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah" and the slightly better "Love Their Country", I was starting to think that the Gimme Gimme's had lost their touch. I am happy to say that I was wrong because " Have Another Ball!" is a great CD. The only tracks that aren't good are the terrible "Sodomy" and the so-so "The Harder They Come". I only hope their next release is this good.

Young Frankenstein: The New Mel Brooks Musical

CD-Charts > Music > Comedy
from: Decca Broadway

Release Date December 26, 2007
Don't believe what you read in the New York Times, especially those caustic reviews by Ben Brantlel. He needs to go! Get Clive Barnes back! "Young Frankenstein" is a wonderful, hilarious romp parodying the musicals of Cole Porter and Friml and Youmans. It takes you back to when musicals were fun and frolicsome. There are great performances from everyone. Only Roger Bart doesn't match the mayhem and I think that is more of a directorial matter. I would love to see someone like Bill Irwin or even Robin Williams takeover the role.

The audience simply adored the show when I saw it. And the CD is well worth the price. If you're in New York take in "YF" and another Brantley reject "A Catered Affair." Take a pass on "In the Heights" which is over-hyped and ... Read More:
