Five things I'm loving right now
1. Bruno trailer: It arrived via MySpace - shouldn't it have been on Twitter first? - but Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat follow-up still looks to be a laugh-a-minute romp featuring some severely bad-taste hijinks. Rednecks? Check. Camp military shenanigans? Check. And, er, a baby in a box? Yep, that's a check too.
2. Born Like This - Doom: Another brilliant boundary-pushing rap attack from the man formerly known as MF Doom. Check out the J Dilla-produced Gazillion Ear, then follow it up with Thom Yorke's remix and try and figure out which is better.
3. An Emerald City: The atmospheric instrumental rockers release their debut album Circa Scaria this week, before moving to Berlin in May. Check out Qing Song.
4. A New Tide - Gomez: Like contemporaries Elbow and Doves, Gomez continue to be praised by critics but forgotten by the rest of the world. Not in my house. Their Powerstation show a couple of years back continues to sit in my Top Five Best Gigs of All Time list, and their new album sees them at the versatile, blues-rocking best.
5. The I.T. Crowd: I've only just discovered this geeky British gem of a sitcom, and I'm loving everything except the laugh track. Where can I get a haircut like Moss?

5 tings im all aboot.
1. Rock with The Hot 8 Brassband. I've been trying to track this album down for AGES and finally found it last week. Its so Hot right now.
2. Repeats of Havok and Newboys sellout tour on tvnz 7 (or 6? um, one of those channels).
3. Coiny Cuppy. Best/worst drinking game ever.
4. Bands that play dance music e.g. Rapture, !!!, Does it offend you yeah?, Etc.
5. Egon Sehiele - Love your saucey art Egon.
The I.T. Crowd rocks. They only ever played it late on TV1 (seriously, who under 60 watches TV1?) so I managed to miss the second series entirely.
Agree with 1977 - hooray for Comedy Central!
Those of you loving I.T. Crowd should check out Garth Marenghi's 'Darkplace'. Features a couple of actors from I.T. Crowd but its much more surreal - an intentionally cheesy 80's medical horror/drama - think a British X-Files meets E.R. meets Twin Peaks.
It's not a laughter track! It's filmed in front of a live audience.
moss performing with gomez would possibly be the perfect gig

Comedy Central CH10 on Sky. In the past I have suffered while waiting for a show to start with nothing on to fill the gap. My suffering is over with the arrival of Comedy Central. The Sunday Roast I think it was called with Pamela Anderson and a string of guests taking the piss out of each other. It's quite old but hilarious. Courtney Love was so high. Oh and best of all I caught Seinfeld at 5.30pm Saturday.
The safe arrival of my dvd prize. Yeeha
