We have people on vacation, another one off getting married and our Summer workload is higher than normal. AND I haven’t taken any time off yet but that’s changing late next week. The entire family, all 6 of us, are headed to Toronto for a vacation to visit my wife’s family. I can’t wait. I really enjoy them, even if they are my “family-by-law”.

So, today’s post is on the lighter side–laughter is such a great way to recharge the mind.

I am a big fan of Flight of the Conchords and you should be too. Their brilliant HBO series is nomitated for 3 Emmys, yet no one seems to have seen it (you can rent it on NetFlix). Their YouTube Business Time video has over 10 million views! So, take 4 minutes to recharge and enjoy a favorite FOTC tune: Beautiful Girl.

But that hasn’t stopped me from listening to them non-stop since a friend passed me their link.

Here’s what I know. They’re a Portland, Oregon band (since 1999). They’re best friends Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel (Ben played drums and keys for Modest Mouse). Vocalist Brandon had to relearn to sing after severely damaging his vocal cords–a process that took years. They call Sub Pop home and their latest release, Keep Your Eyes Ahead is very, very good. Take a listen.

There is also a great interview and performance on NPR, via KEXP. And of course, they have a myspace page.

What do you think? (leave a comment or email me)
