New York Dreamer

I love Flight of the Conchords and I love their show. I think they are the most intelligent band on this earth. They are amazingly deft at crafting words for their funny situations. It seems like daft jokes, but they are in fact brilliant. I believe that only the people with intelligent minds and warm insight into human beings would ever be able to create that kind of humor and real laughs. Besides, their music is sincere and genuine with plenty of pure spirit. It’s honest, intuitive, with sincere integrity.

I love Flight of the Conchords because they are real music lovers. Unlike some manufactured pop stars who are more obsessed with their styles and cheesy outfits than with creating real music, Flight of the Conchords knows how to create and enjoy real musical delights, bringing up real emotions from people. When they talk about global issues or their daily lives, they don’t do lecture in a condescending way. They don’t claim that “we are the world.” They are just “one of us,” talking about their experience as we all do. They don’t claim that they are big stars with the power to gather everybody and heal the world. To the audiences, ironically, they are real stars because they know how to reach to us and really touch our heart with their music and lyrics.

I love Flight of the Conchords because in their music I find something similar to my experience in the city. It just feels like I have known them for a loooong time. Flight of the Conchords is a music duo coming from New Zealand to New York, trying to find their place in the music business. I also came from a foreign land to make my presence in the entertainment and media industry. Let’s say, it’s kinda a sense of empathy. It’s great amusement to share their experience and compare theirs with mine with a lot of laughs.

I bumped into Bret a few weeks ago in my neighborhood and had a moment with a jolt of excitement, along with a brief conversation with him. Ahhhh. I was feeling like a teenager groupie girl and turned the conversation into a total nervous awkward encounter. I hope that I would do better and different next time I talk to him or Jemaine.

Just check out their videos. You will know what I mean. You are gonna be very amused. My favorite songs are “Business Time” “Mutha ‘Uckas” “Foux Du Fafa” “Think about it” “Robots” “Inner City Pressure.”

Their second season starting today on HBO January 18th Sunday at 10PM. Tune in. Gonna love them.
