Vote for the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra at Uke Hunt

******Update**********

The votes are in and the final tally is in favor of Rod Thomas. W.I.U.O came in at a close second. It was all in good clean fun. Still wanted W.I.U.O to win though…hummpph… .

Thanks for everyone who went over from my blog to Uke Hunt to vote!

*****Update has now come to an end*****

There is a heated comptetion going on over at the Uke Hunt blog (ok well not a heated competition, I mean after all we are talking about ukulele players, some of the most cruisy people imaginable). But at the moment the W.I.U.O only have 15 or so votes. Let’s change that!

Take a second to go to this site  http://ukulelehunt.com/2009/01/28/ukulele-video-of-the-year-2008-your-vote/ and vote for the best ukulele video of 2008 at the Uke Hunt blog (which the best uke vid of 2008 is surely “It’s a Heartache by the W.I.U.O. )

Vote Kiwi! 
 
*Chirp*

Flight of the Conchords Season 2 early premiere….

The Kiwis are coming, the Kiwis are coming...back

…on FunnyorDie dot com. http://funnyordie.com .

***Update**** Direct link to the video is here.

You can get a sneak preview of FotC season 2 opener starting Decemeber 17th and will subsequently be up for 4 days.

Sweet as!

***Update**** I just saw it, and am watching it again. Oh man… Crying here. If this is any indication of what we can expect from Season 2, I can safely say it will be even funnier (if it were possible!) than the first. Orsum.

Flight of the Conchords win four awards at the NZMA

F to da O to da T to da C

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (aka Flight of the Conchords) won 4 well deserved awards for their brilliant self-titled album. You must have a look here at their acceptance speeches.

Funny stuff! But then dats how dey roll, eh?

I am sad however, well devestated actually, that The Phoenix Foundation didn’t get their props (however they were in the same category as Flight of the Conchords for two of the awards so it would have been a bit difficult for both groups to win!). Lee Preeble did win two awards, one for Best Producer and another for Best Engineer for The Phoenix Foundation album Happy Ending, so it wasn’t a total loss.

For a full list of the winners in all the categories go here. (Thanks to Owen’s Valley’s very own Tomatohead for this bit of info).
