I told you I was freaky

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that the new Flight of the Conchords album comes out this Tuesday. So while you're in line to get your copy of Transformers 2 (get it at Target, the DVD case "transforms" into Bumblebee), grab this CD too.

I've been looking forward to this for a long time, especially since the last season of the TV show came out months ago. Why wouldn't you put these out at the same time? Save a little on advertising and push a few extra units with all of those stores offering $5 off the pair or something. But noooooooooo.

The only downside to it, that I can see, is they're all songs from the second season and, in my opinion, a little weaker. Sure there are some catchy tunes like Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor (which is about exactly what you'd think) and Friends, but a lot of them are episode and situation specific. Inner City Pressure works great in your iPod lineup. We're Both in Love With a Sexy Lady doesn't quite have the legs to stand.

But there are a lot of good things. Sugalumps is almost a response to Baby Got Back (did you listen to the Coulton cover yet?) and Friends is really catchy and Jim Gaffigan sings along in that one.

I should at least mention they cover quite a bit of styles in this one. Drifting away from the folk roots, there's some reggae, dance and others. Nothing offensive to the ear, but quite a ways away from the previous album. Check out some samples on Amazon. They're probably offering a bundle deal too...
