The new HBO show
"Flight of the Conchords" is hysterical. It's my absolute favorite new show, hands down. Yes, it borrows liberally from
"Tenacious D", which got its start as a series of comedy shorts also on HBO.
OK, maybe it borrows a lot. The story is pretty much the same: Two guys in a band (in a band? they are the band...) trying desperately to make it big. But the music business is a cruel mistress, and try as they might their efforts never quite seem to add up to success.
Both the "D" and Conchords have a small, but ravenous, fan base. Lee, in the case of Tenacious D, and the semi-creepy (but pretty hilarious) Mel for the Conchords.

Yes, this is what you think it is. And yes, I'm doing what I said I would never, never, ever, ever do.
God bless the world's hypocrites.
That said, please be patient with me as I work out the kinks here. I'm using a bleeding edge version of Typo here, which, itself, is pretty new to the world of blogs. So, for now, the look and feel is going to be pretty lame.
Sorry.
I do like the Hemingway theme, though there are some issues with the sidebar layout below. Until I sort that out, this is going to be pretty much the extent of things. No links, no topics. Just this.
Sorry again.
Oh, and why frozenhellscape? Because I once told my good friend Derek Willis that I would blog (and I quote) "when hell freezes over."
Miracles happen.
