Flight of the Concords

So I finally got around to watching the first episode of the new HBO show Flight of the Concords. I have to say it was better than I thought it would be and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. If you missed it here's a link to a clip of their recent appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. The song is "Beautiful Girl" and it cracks me up. http://www.whatthefolk.net/news.htm#letterman

From the NY Times (by way of AICN) "funny in such an understated way that it is almost dangerous to make too much of it — it could collapse like a soufflĂ© when the door slams.

It airs Sunday nights at 1030 on HBO...check out repeat broadcasts during the week.
