It’s Silly Season

Queen

Ashley and I have been listening to a lot of Queen lately. Sure, they aren’t exactly new, but I haven’t listened to Queen in years (aside from the usual Karaoke performances of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and when they play “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You” at sporting events). I downloaded their large greatest hits collection recently and found it strangely refreshing. I’m not even sure why I am mentioning any of this in a post since they are a well known band and most likely noone cares. Mainly I just wanted to post a Queen video because it fits with my currently silly mood.

Flight of the Conchords

We also rented the DVD for the television show Flight of the Conchords. It’s about a couple dudes from New Zealand who are in an unsuccessful band. They wander around and bust out into songs at random times. Like Queen, this show is not particularly new and is pretty silly. These guys have been cracking me up.

Update: The second disc wasn’t nearly as good as the first. Perhaps the show is already “jumping the shark”.

    I was about 30 seconds into this video and was already thinking “oh God help Ashley”…this song I can just imagine is one that you will/have repeat[ed] over and over and annoyingly over again with your high pitched voice blending in with Freddie Mercury

    “She’s a Killer Queen
    Gunpowder, gelatine
    Dynamite with a laser beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Anytime”

    lol:0) you are silly

    why do I not have the option of going back to edit my comment? I need to remove the word “about” and “was” from ‘was already thinking’. gosh.
