  • “Perform This Way”

    Weird Al’s initial stab at a title track for his new album met with resistance from the original “artist”. Or, as @badbanana put it, “The song Lady Gaga didn’t want you to hear[.]”. Glorious. UPDATE: Here’s Weird Al’s side of the story. UPDATE 2: I’d be looking for a new manager if I were Lady…

  • Google Wave Invites

    I just recently wrangled my way onto Google Wave and, well, there’s not a whole lot of folks to talk with as of yet, since invites are so scarce. However, I’ve a total of four Wave invites sitting in my Inbox, waiting for disbursal. So, the first four people that either follow me on Twitter…

  • It’s No Twinkie-Wiener Sandwich*, But…

    I bow before the meat-eating prowess of R. “Bacon Is A Vegetable” Stevens of Diesel Sweeties fame for his construction of the ultimate American food: Hot Dog Loaf. Take two all-beef franks, wrap them in traditional meatloaf-y goodness and then bake it to completion. Mmmm, beefy. I would have used Ball Park franks instead of…

  • Straight Outta Lynwood, Straight Into My CD Player

    Album Title: Straight Outta Lynwood Artist: “Weird Al” Yankovic Year: 2006 I went out and snagged a copy of Weird Al’s latest album yesterday and, after giving it a few listens, I have to say that it’s one of his better albums, although by no means his best. I think it’s actually a bit more…

  • Most Definitely Off The Heezy

    The “White n’ Nerdy” video has debuted: *chuckle* A week and a day, baby. UPDATE: YouTube link’s been RIAA’d. Hit the Google Video copy instead. UPDATE 2: The video is back and Al-sanctioned at YouTube, so the player above should work.

  • I’m Ready For September 26th, Are You?

    That’s right, baby: new Weird Al album on the way. Hit his MySpace page for the first single off the disc, “Don’t Download This Song” or simply click below: [audio:Dont_Download_This_Song.mp3] While you’re at his page, make sure to give a listen to his parody of Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty” entitled “White and Nerdy” and be sure…

  • Lost + Weird Al + Queen = Crazy Delicious

    Take Weird Al’s polka incarnation of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, add it to a flash animation comprised entirely of images from the first season of Lost and, et voila!, you have a highly amusing 5 minute “music video”. Heh.

  • “The Party Of The Century!”

    Phew, what a week-and-a-half it’s been. I’ve hardly had two spare moments to rub together since last Thursday, the day chosen for my brother’s bachelor party. I left work early that day, helped my wife out with some last-minute packing and then conveyed Stewarts, The Next Generation to my parents’ place. We left Will behind…
