The Tickle Monsters have struck again! And they've taken the form of doggies!!!!


Flight of the Conchords, "Hurt Feelings"

Oh, Flight of the Conchords. I love you so much that I want to cry. I love you so much that I want to make funny, well-rhymed ditties that will impress you so much that you will love me too. Oh well. I'm sounding a little like Mel, and that's freaky. This song is from the most recent season of their show (and their upcoming album I Told You I Was Freaky). I still haven't seen all of the season because my mom tapes it for me (Hey--HBO is expensive!) and she only works with VCRs (21st century's a bitch) and our VCR broke. We bought a new VCR, though (yes, they still make them. Stop laughing) and I plan to figure out what I did with the tapes my mom gave me.

I know, it's from the 70's. I heard it on a podcast, though, and it seemed to fit, considering what's been going on this week.

Jihae

These are some great songs. She reminds me of Rachel Yamagata...soulful, emotional, etc. The video for "Pink Sands" is different, but the song is exceptional.

Roman Candle, "Eden Was a Garden" (Artist gave me permission to post the mp3)

I played this on my podcast two weeks ago, but the artist just gave me permission to post the mp3, so I figured I'd put it on here. It's a really good song.
