]]> Kristen Schaal plays Mel, the “number one fan” of the band on the HBO show, Flight of the Conchords. She’s good stuff – one of the funnier female comedians/actresses I’ve seen. She plays the role of a groupie/stalker, and is always wearing printed t-shirts of Jemaine and Bret that are a crack-up.

On one episode, when Jemaine got let out of jail, she had on a shirt with a huge picture of him pouting behind bars plastered across the front. Classic!

Click this link to check out her vlog, which is the same thing as a blog, but with video, instead of text. Duh. Get wit it.

It’s a pretty cool video blog that’s updated fairly often. So go crazy!

]]> Bret Mckenzie, the ‘little guy’ in/of Flight of the Conchords, did an interview a couple months back with the A.V. Club (whatever the heck that is) that was way awesome; such good reading material.

In one part, when he’s talking about how he and Jemaine have 923748932742974 Myspace friends, he says, “They’re not our real friends, though. We’re still quite lonely. We feel cheated by the Internet. I wanted to have a birthday party and invite them all, but… too freaky. I would probably have to have a party somewhere big, maybe Central Park… I’m not really a big fan of MySpace. Think it’s evil. Corrupt.”

HA! Ain’t that the truth!

]]> For those of you who haven’t heard of Flight of the Conchords, what the heck is wrong with you?!

FOTC is a two-man band of absolute hilarity and ridiculousness. In fact, they’re so awesome that their awesomeness has scored them a 30 minute television slot on HBO, where they just got picked up for a second season of music, fun, and Jessica Simpson-ish stupidity.

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are a folk-based comedy duo from New Zealand, named the Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival, which is a large part of why they’re so well-known today.

It also doesn’t hurt any that their show on HBO has absolutely succeeded, and the ratings are sky high. If you haven’t seen it, stay tuned for the second season which will be returning in 2008. Also, you can download the episodes from the first season on iTunes, or watch clips of them on youtube. Or, if you’re really cool, you can buy the first season DVD when it comes out on November 6th.

Enjoy, and check back for more Flight of the Conchords updates as they come in.
