My Favorite Conchords Musical Numbers

Hey I hadn't been to the Apiary in way too long. I missed out on their interview with Rhys Darby about his work on (the best show on TV this summer!) Flight of the Conchords. He plays Murray, pretty much the best part of the show other than Brett and Jemain themselves.

As a result of this interview (and it's imbedded video) I decided to list my top 3 songs from the show so far.

3. "Part Time Model"


2. "Goodbye (Leggy Blonde)"


1. "If You're Into It"

Musicians for Obama?

Hey, I'm trying to get some bands together for a concert in support of Barak Obama. The only money would be donation only and it would only cover the cost of the show or possibly go into the Staten Islanders for Obama group I'm involved with. We are trying to get permission to use one of Staten Island's many parks however if that doesn't happen we will surely find an accomodating venue.

Mostly we want this to be a rally and a good place where we can try and get more people politically active. If you're interested in getting involved please email me at: timduffyster@gmail.com

Murray Record Release Extravaganza This Saturday!

Murray is Staten Island's finest rock band probably ever. They are a well oiled killing machine with an excellent post-punk/new wave sound that is referential without being pastiche. I'm very find of their new EP, I was lucky enough to be among the first to hear it. You can hear some of it at their MySpace.

This Saturday the band will begin selling the record at a big showcase taking place at Staten Island's own Alice Austin House. It's going to be a hell of a show with cool art, DJs, a short film, and a performance from the band. I highly recomend you go. Sadly I don't have the chance as my cousin's wedding is that day. Go in my place!

Didn't get Sonic Youth tickets? I can assure you your average Sonic Youth fan could certainly fall in love with this band. Plus when was the last time you explored Staten Island? Probably never huh?
