Playlist for July 15, 2008

So as you may or may not have noticed, I wasn't on last week. This is because they changed the schedule at the station (yet again) to alternating shifts. So it'll be every OTHER Tuesday for the rest of the summer, I'm afraid. Likewise, there have been technical difficulties getting a recording of the show, so no podcasts for a while. On an up note, I hear there's a Mighty Boosh movie in the works. Rock. Here's a clip of them I enjoy. The playlist from this week follows.

* Cover of the Week

Moths Don't Get Stuck In Baths

Roy explains why everything Moss invents is worthless.



From The IT Crowd, another fantastic Britcom currently in production (youtube it!). You may recognize Moss (actor Richard Ayoade) from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and/or The Mighty Boosh (also good shows). There is talk of an American version a la The Office or (less successfully) Coupling. So we shall see about that, I suppose!

Taking Retro To Its Logical Conclusion

Because the past is in right now.



I love Vince's horrified look at the end when Howard mentions pencil cases!

From The Mighty Boosh, one of the weirdest and most awesome current television series.

The Hippy Horse-Jesus Connection...

Apparently they're a team...



I love the HAIR parody. Brilliant! (This is from the short-lived BBC comedy series "Hippies".)

Rejection!

Bernard's Letter (Black Books):



...also one of the best uses I've ever seen of a Classical piece (opening of Beethoven's 1st Symphony) in film/television.

Little Girl

Hugh Laurie is awesome. Seriously. This is a song from the British sketch comedy show "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"--Enjoy!



I especially like his creepy little moustache!

One Track Lover

This just happens to be one of the finest parodies of the 80s music video that's ever been made. Matt Berry plays actor Todd Rivers as Dr. Lucien Sanchez...singing a song. On Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Enjoy!



PS~I love love LOVE Richard Ayoade (he's the clumsy rapping bartender at the end of the video sequence)!

Why I don't like cricket...

So this is just a hilarious clip from a good show, The Mighty Boosh. Check it out on the internet.



...In case you were wondering, the song he's dancing to is 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday". As you were.
