During the first season of "Flight of the Concords", you could watch a new episode on Sunday night, and you could YouTube all the songs the next morning when you got to work (until HBO made YouTube take them down, anyway). But you couldn't listen to the songs on your iPod on the way to work on Monday morning. You had to wait for the album to actually come out. It was unbearable. Well, that's not a problem any longer.

The next season of "Flight of the Concords" starts January 18 on HBO, and it'll include the New Zealand comedy-rock duo's new song "Angels". According to Billboard.com, on the morning of January 19, you'll be able to buy "Angels" from iTunes and jam that shit on your way to work.

Just like last season, "Flight of the Concords" will feature new Flight of the Concords songs every week. But unlike last season, you'll be able to download all those songs the morning after the episode runs. For all ten weeks of season two, every Monday morning iTunes will sell a song from the previous night's episode. And just after the season ends, there will be a new Flight of the Concords album with all ten of those songs plus five new ones. The next Flight of the Concords album doesn't have a name yet, but it'll be out on Sub Pop April 14. Billboard also reports that Sub Pop will offer an album pre-order that will give fans a track per week.

The songs on the show are usually short, but the versions for sale on iTunes will be blown-out and extended and reworked, so it's not a ripoff or anything, don't worry. According to Billboard, kooky Australian pop starlet Sia sings backup on "at least one song," and a Conchords tour is in the works for this spring in North America.

You have to love it when someone figures out exactly what you've been wanting and then sells it to you. That's what we call a win-win around here, my friends. And just watch: Sub Pop is going to make Bleach money off this. The only possible negative side-effect of this whole deal will be the increased likelihood of hearing your friends do bad Flight of the Concords impressions.

And just because Flight of the Concords love everybody who uses the internet, they're streaming the whole first episode of the new season here.
