I Told You I Was Freaky

I Told You I Was Freaky is the second studio album by Flight of the Conchords. The majority of the songs come from the second season of their HBO series, which was mildly disappointing following the hilarious first season. On December 10th, it was announced that they would not return for a third season. The songs are typically performed as part of the show; related the events that take place. If the second season of the television series rated at about an 7/10, then the album would either surprise or suffer with the lack on context. In this case, it feels as though the songs are better on their own. In any case, it’s probably about time for a “band meeting”.

On Work

It’s been nearly a year since my idea of work changed.

Mandy Brown from a working library has hit the nail on the head.

“Work” can mean toil or slog, but it can also mean creation, opus, oeuvre. It is the latter sense that I feel compelled to protect. The world does not lack for boredom or stupefaction; what we need are not more jobs but more lives, more work that dignifies the people that perform it instead of demeaning them. More days when we are tired because of the work, not tired of it.

The Best Rock Song Ever?

It’s a loaded question with more than one correct answer. There is no doubt that such a distinction should be split into eras. It’s hard to compare The Beatles to Nirvana, for instance. In the end, when I think of a rock song, this is the song that always comes to mind.
