Flight Of The Conchords

NZ's favorite sons raise their rubber guitars above the parapet. Secretly I think this album was inspired by Firesign Theatre's "Fighting Clowns", in the sense that this can't possibly be true.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 14 fans who also own “Mr. Liverface”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
