...though it’s all laughs, it’s nothing new from Bret and Jemaine. For fans of their hit TV show “Flight of the Conchords,” their eponymous debut album will likely just be sort of a season-in-song disc, but for those unfamiliar with the HBO series the laughs might be a little out of context. With the new season right around the corner, it would have been nice to see a preview of things to come, but any fan devoted enough (and there are many) to buy the album...
...firms say they are up to the task of security and confidentiality. At Integreon's facilities in Mumbai and Gurgaon, for example, guards search attorneys' belongings to ensure they're not carrying flash drives or laptops, according to CEO Liam Brown. Computers don't have disc drives, usable usb ports or CD burners, and most can't print.

Each room can hold up to 36 terminals--many of them with dual screens. The company never stores data...

These are the source material for almost all his films.

Also, the shows are musicals, and it's during the singing that they really soar--Dreamgirls meets the Ebenezer Baptist Church choir, and the congregation's spirits raise the roof...
...only a few tracks on which the lyrics are clear and audible, as most of the album’s mixing focues on instrumentation at the expense of vocals. “Hummingbird,” which was released as a single last year, appears third on the disc and is probably the best example of the punchy style in which the Ruffians do their best work. Very rarely does a single moment in one song transform a decent album into a good album, but the instrumental break halfway through “Hummingbird” really sets the mood...
