The Conchords are great .... And yes, they might take a bit of getting used to, but stick with it, It's worth it, I promise .... My favourite is the pencil song (not sure what it is called) - they even play that on BBC radio 2 here in the UK. Will also 2nd that list members are a great source of recommendations!

These two guys from New Zealand (they're actually comedians as a band, but in the show they are serious about it) have a "band" and date girls and whatever. Their manager is also head of the New Zealand tourism office and they have one fan. They're always broke and doing performances at awful places. So funny but has that kind of quirky humor that not everyone is going to get. When I first saw it (my brother insisted) I wasn't too impressed but it totally grew on me. I can see Office fans liking it. (BTW-- we are talking about the US Office-- isn't this the one time we adapt a UK show and it doesn't suck?! Woot!) I agree Kitty- the lists are a great source for recommendations! - --Leslie - ----- Original Message ---- From: Kitty Rosman To: basia@smoe.org Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 11:46:22 AM Subject: RE: cruisin' for bruisin' question Not familiar with this show, but totally I respect the recommendations from fellow group members. I'll see if it's available from HBO "on demand" and check it out. Speaking of recommendations by fellow group members, thank you to Steve in Madison for turning me on to Pamela Driggs. I bought 2 CD's on Amazon and I was so-o-o-o glad I did. I absolutely love everything about it. BTW, I know I mentioned this before, but there is a version of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Just like A Star" out there where they do the song as a Brazilian samba and it is really really good. I found it on iTunes. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
