Sweet Conchordia

Haven't heard of 'Flight of the Conchords'? Post-modern parody rock/pop for the post-9/11 world. Recently, they took their act from BBC radio to HBO in the States, with an August 7th release of an EP featuring 3 songs featured in the TV series and 3 live tracks. 'The Distant Future' is well-executed, showcasing the group's studio production and performance prowess.
If you're plugged into cable in Canada, The Movie Network has their entire first series available on demand.

Oh Timbaland...

Anyone else noticed this?

Timbaland et. al - "Give it to Me"
When Timbo is in the party, everybody put up they hands
I get a half a mil' for my beats, you get a couple gra-an-and
Never gon' see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
I'm respected from Californ-I-A, all the way down to Japan

Timbaland et. al - "The Way I Are"
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we'll be the perfect soulmates

Writers and lyricists can take on characters during a creative process, but this feels more like a calculated business move than an artistic decision. It would be easier to take if Shock Value had a bit more depth (despite its 17 tracks), but hey, with a couple massive singles and McMoney in the bank, who needs artistic fulfillment?
