W9:T20: Flight or fight...

"Flight of the Conchords" is an Enzed musical comedy phenomenon that I'm both entertained by and (nationalistically speaking) rather proud of.
A quick search on YouTube for their name will bring up a list of video clips of many of their live stand-up performances, the music that featured in their HBO series, and some of the interviews they have had.



The above is the opening image of a video clip of the duo performing their "Gangsta Folk Rap" www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvNLv5NEmM0

Their unofficial website has also utilised the site themselves by collecting many of the links to YouTube clips together in a gallery www.conchords.net/video/fotc-youtube-gallery

I find YouTube to be an interesting place to poke around in, particularly if you are a fan of a particular celebrity/show/animal etc.
As for it's practical usage for libraries; it could be used for video diaries and live footage of library events which (like the FotC site) could then have the URL links embedded in library websites or e-mails.
