Between Britney’s nauseating exploits and Fergie’s monotonal efforts (seriously, someone get that girl a beat), I couldn’t take it anymore. Was there no decent music to be had that could provide a laugh along with the artist, instead of at their expense?

I was at the zenith of my despair, jonesing for a quick dose of music and comedy that could justify further procrastination (boredatvanpelt just didn’t cut it anymore; it seemed that conversation focused solely on the exchange of sexual favors, which was no doubt scintillating for the parties involved, but unfortunately quite dull for everyone else).

Luckily, a friend came to my rescue and forwarded me a link about a band called Flight of the Conchords, a duo from New Zealand. Their music is witty and actually merits the way-too-ubiquitous LOL label. Having gotten their start at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, they’ve since been featured on HBO’s One Night Stand, and now they’re filming their own HBO show.

Check them out: “Business Time” is fabulous, as is “Jenny,” and “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros” will make you want a Kiwi accent (or only want to date people who do).
