http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/23/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bowie.aspx As with any rock band, The Flight of the Conchords are feeling like their look is getting a bit stale. Of course, unlike most rock bands, these guys don’t actually have any “gigs” or “recordings” — or really much of anything to show for their work. However, that’s all about to change.   But first, Bret has to get over his feelings of self-consciousness after he’s told he looks too small during a photo shoot. Fortunately, it’s David Bowie to the rescue, as Ziggy Stardust himself visits Bret in a dream to offer career advice. Well, it’s actually Jemaine dressed like Bowie in the recurring dreams, which include the 1972 “Ziggy Stardust” Bowie, the 1980 “Scary Monsters” Bowie, and finally, the (shudder) 1986 Bowie from the movie LABYRINTH.   The Conchords are on the cusp of signing a big deal with a greeting card company to have their song play in a new musical card. But, Bowie’s advice (“do something outrageous”) backfires when Bret jumps on the card producer’s desk in the middle of their interview and shows off his lightning bolt-painted wanger at an incredibly inopportune time (well, I guess there really isn’t an opportune time to do that, but you live and you learn). en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/23/Flight-of-the-Conchords--Bowie.aspx 77 60
