Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Comedy and music mix as well as oil and water, but Flight of the Conchords – the Grammy-winning New Zealand duo of Radio 4/HBO fame – are one of the rare and precious exceptions.
Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement's secret is that they usually aren't trying to be funny at all, at least not in a bust-a-gut sense. It's the punchline-free poignancy of the strangely zen Pet Shop Boys pastiche "Inner City Pressure" that suits them best... although the pure laugh-power of Prince mickey-take "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" and the Shabba/Shaggy-styled "Boom" cannot be disputed.
Pick of the Album: Bret and Jermaine do Neil and Chris: 'Inner City Pressure'
