Television

I'm loving Flight of the Conchords on HBO. An acoustic guitar duo from New Zealand and their manager have adventures in New York best told through goofy and extremely well crafted songs. This show works because the guys are charming with an understated demeanor, great comedic timing, and the right amount of cheesy goodness it takes to deliver songs intermittently in a modern television show. They fully embrace the awkwardness of presenting sincere songs while reminding us that sincere songs about life can be quite good.
