The Weird Al thread

Cool! I thought 'ol "Monk" Cat was long forgotten! The difference is that I purchased his albums as they were released.

Of course Zep and the Fab Four have, while still main stream, moved over to "classic" now. And my mom use to go to the Beatles concerts (you know, those screaming teen girls!), and played the albums relentlously.

But, I think we got off track of Al.......

His new album came out yesterday, and includes:

White & Nerdy
Pancreas
Canadian Idiot
I'll Sue Ya
Polkarama!
Virus Alert
Confessions Part III
Weasel Stomping Day
Close But No Cigar
Do I Creep You Out
Trapped In The Drive-Thru
Don't Download This Song

DualDisc includes PCM Stereo, 5.1 Surround and instrumental mixes of the entire album
(with on-screen lyrics option), plus a 9-minute behind-the-scenes documentary and
6 Brand New Music Videos from world-class animators Bill Plympton, John Kricfalusi,
Jim Blashfield, Thomas Lee, David C. Lovelace and Robot Chicken!

And can be ordered here:

Looks like I'll be stopping by the store on the way home!

I'd like to mention, rather late in this thread, that I met Weird Al quite some years ago. He rode my vehicle at The Great Movie Ride. He was very tall, and very pleasant. He's tops in my book.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times back in the 90's. His drummer, Bermuda Shwartz, and I, were both endorsed by the same drumstick company and our paths crossed during the various music conventions we would both attend. Usually, Al wasn't usually very talkative and, in fact, I remember one particular day, where he came to the booth we were at and went and sat in the corner, on the floor by himself, for about an hour. I think he just needed a little break from his adoring fans. Still, he was always polite and friendly when we met. His drummer was far more outgoing, however.

I belive Bermuda Shwartz was the one who started the official website. It took someone out going to get it started I guess.

And boy, Al can put on a concert!

But I don't care much for his new album. His last two were great, but this one so far doesn't jive with me. At least not yet, and I haven't listened to all of each song yet. But the Dual disk idea is cool. There are a bunch of videos for the songs on the DVD side, which is a great idea. And the case is nice, with a push button release to open it.
