So…The Flight of the Conchords officially announced last week that they will not be returning for a third season. Yes, I had myself a good cry. It helped with the healing- a little. But to truly soothe the kiwi sting, I had to fire up the iTunes and Iisten to what once was. And while I love Business Time (who doesn’t?), I’ve also always had a soft spot for the less popular The Humans Are Dead (I mean, did you hear that binary solo?). So, that’s this week’s theme: Robots* It’s a soundtrack for the impending Robot Revolution. The Robolution, if you will. So, get the kids in the bomb shelter, stock up on canned peaches, sit back and relax. It’ll all be over soon enough.
*the number of exclamation marks is at your discretion, given the stage of the Robolution. I chose three because they’re about to release a new version of the Kindle. Spooky.
