The Conchords channel The Move.

Heh. I love psychedelia, even though I've never done acid.

Brit psychedelia is so cute, though. It's less about drugs than it is about crumpets and jam and boating in the park and stuff. The American version is generally a lot darker....; 8/22/2007 12:24 PM

*mwah!*

I opted for ISB because they were more a folkie act -- guitars and finger cymbals and what not -- and the Conchords so far have struck me as closer to that than to the Move. But this rocks a bit too, so now that I think of it you're right.

Anyway, it's adorable -- god, I wish I had HBO...; 8/22/2007 3:03 PM

This sorta sounds like the more hippy dippy psychy Donovan!; 8/22/2007 10:47 PM
