Good Stuff: Flight of the Conchords

Just started watching this show, unforteuntly I don’t have HBO… so I’m missing the new season. Youtube has a healthy number of clips from the show that are great, here’s two of my favourite:

A friend’s short film…

He’s trying to promote it online so here it is:

On rotation

1. Head Dress by Amazing Baby – Just heard this on the radio, great song.
2. Great DJ by The Ting Tings – Now running on Slumdog Millionaire commercials
3. Wishing Well by Terence Trent D’Arby – Family Guy had a gag featuring this song and couldn’t help but get hooked.

On rotation

1. Blue Jean by David Bowie – Great song and I love the music video. Bowie is so cool
2. Just Like Honey by Jesus and Mary Chain
3. Where did our love by Soft Cell – I think this cover was originally only released with Tainted Love, but for my money, its a better song

I’m so glad I left Investment Banking when I did

Check out the article Bonuses are gone, Cristal is corked on the Globe and Mail website,

When I left in the first quarter of 2007, we just had a great year and bonuses were good (well by HSBC standards), however people were nervous about the year ahead. The economy was weakening a bit, credit markets were softening and people were wondering how they would meet revenue targets based off of the great year we just had. I doubt they had any idea how bad it would get… so glad I got out.

SNL Digital Shorts

Anyone else noticed that the last few SNL Digital Shorts have been pretty lame? The Best Look in The World… Laser Cats 3… Daiquiri Girl… I wasn’t a big fan of Grandkids in the Movies either. They seem very forced.

7. Roy Rules
6. Hero song
5. Andy’s Dad
4. Natalie Raps
3. Lazy Sunday
2. Iran so Far
1. Business meeting with Rainn Wilson

Many of you are probably noticing the absence of Dick in a Box… it was good the first time I saw it but didn’t have legs.
