Exclusive Album Premieres on "The MySpace"- Flight of the Conchords & The Night Marchers

I don't like posting press releases verbatim, but got this little nugget in the inbox today:

MYSPACE TO EXCLUSIVELY PREMIER ALBUMS BY ATMOSPHERE, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, THE NIGHT MARCHERS APRIL 18

The release goes on to talk about each artist and their labels and myspace and yadda yadda, but hello? Flight of the Conchords! and San Diego's own The Night Marchers!!

When this special aired on HBO, I must've watched it 25 times OnDemand. I'm so glad someone posted the clips on MySpace.

Barack Obama Wins A Grammy!

I have to admit, I've been enjoying the Grammys this year. Daft Punk & Kanye killed it. Foo Fighters are rocking as I type. I'm not so much into the awards themselves because I almost always disagree with the academy (I'm not a fan of Amy Winehouse, and she pretty much swept the categories and I really believe that Once was robbed more than once), and I'm more interested in the awards that usually aren't announced during the show. Anyway, the full list of winners is here in case you lack patience like I do.

Some highlights:

Our next president won a Grammy! (Beating out Bill Clinton, fyi)

Best Spoken Word Album (Includes Poetry, Audio Books & Story Telling)

The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream
Barack Obama[Random House Audio]

Best Comedy Album (For comedy recordings, spoken or musical):

The Distant Future
Flight Of The Conchords
[Sub Pop]

And anyone paying attention- local boys As I Lay Dying lost the best metal category to Slayer. Boo.

Labels: as i lay dying, barack obama, cheesy tv, flight of the conchords, grammys

Flight of the Conchords Preview

I have mentioned my elation that Flight Of the Conchords was picked up to be a full show on HBO. And now I've watched the episode and while not quite as funny to me as the stand-up, I will still be viewing the show regularly during the season that starts on Sunday, June 17. MySpace has the full first episode here. Check it out. They're also touring and performing LA in LA on July 11. Tempting.

Labels: flight of the conchords, hbo
