For the benefit of [livejournal.com profile] joysilence particularly and any 80's enthusiasts more generally, here is a very good synth-pop number from Flight of the Conchords, which I was pleased to see on the telly last night. Sadly I can't seem to embed it to LJ. Bret Mackenzie looks brilliant as a New Romantic.

Its funny lyrics and ridiculous-yet-good has cheered me up quite considerably today. Today has not been a good day in many ways, as I have had to deal with problems with the bathroom in my flat in Tottenham leaking into my downstairs neighbour's flat. I'm still in Devon so it's all had to be done over the phone.

The whole episode was very good, my favourite so far, and the fact that I saw it just after seeing La Roux top the UK single's charts on TMF meant I had a very satisfactory evening's viewing. I like her video for Bulletproof a lot, it's really good to see a scowling ginger androgyne in the top spot. And she really does scowl throughout the whole video.

Later on things picked up though, as I purchased a ceramic plated crimper from Boots Electrical Beauty (the only beauty) for only £14.99! It's great to own a crimper again. My last one was purchased from a charity shop in the 90's, when it was hard to get them new. It was metal and took half an hour to heat up, but was brutally efficient. This one is a bit more advanced.

I am coming back to London on Saturday and hope to see some mates at a gig in Camden. Work has started on the house next door that we used to live in, so I shall be glad to get away. By the sound of it I will have avoided the worst of the heatwave in London, as temperatures are forecast to return to normal at the weekend. I shall try and concentrate on the nice things of life like bands, hair and disco dancing, and keep mundane issues such as plumbing and work in perspective.
