or at least like McNuggets. I guess I didn't get that feeling though cause I started watching for the girls in the can of Season 2. Bushy Top's accent's improved a fair bit since, though. But, now that you say that I seem to remember that Simon mentioned a flashback to the Gant murder in the pilot, and that they hadn't done that sort of thing in any episode since.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Yeah, the accent, the flashback, even some of the exposition all sorta sucked. The fact that every freakin' second of it is necessary for later plot points, well, that's awesome.

That flashback was the one big note they've received from HBO.(/ The Wire likes gritty, urban carrots) And yes, I love how the Wire always uses stuff again. It makes it hard to introduce to non-fiends, however.I used to think DW was Australian because that's what overlaying Baltimore on top of London kind of sounded like, here in Arizona, land of the uniflected. He's pretty decent, now. Although not in the "No way...he's British?!" league with Hugh Laurie and Idris Elba.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I just caught the most recent FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS and the "Bowie in Space" stuff just had me on the floor (especially the Let's Dance style stuff over the end credits).

I saw the first one on a podcast, and it had me on the floor laughing. It's like Tenacious D, but waaaay funnier.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The video itself was a little bit literal but Jemaine's Bowie impression in the episode was spot-on.

Yes! I loved the "different eras of Bowie".

That's exactly how I feel. And I like the music WAAAAAY better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am loving Flight of the Conchords. It's really impressive how perfectly they can mock so many different styles of music.
Live album you say?

Entourage: man, it sucks, that E is subsuming his own abilities for Vince. He's so used to it, though, that it seems natural to him. Fucking Walsh.
