  1. So, yesterday I learned that in 2009, Weird Al made an educational 10 minute, 3-D video for the Orange County Fair about the human brain. It ran that year at this and another fair, but was kind of lost to time after that.

    That is until this week when Weird Al released the entire video on his YouTube channel.

    You can check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=2xujU87ZHt4

    Some stuff is lost, obviously, without the 3D elements, but it's got some original songs and surprising cameos including one by Paul McCartney. So...there's something for y'all to check out later.

  2. Eric Appel – „Weird: The Al Yankovic Story“ (2022)

    Die Welt braucht grundsätzlich viel mehr Polka! Deshalb kommt dieser Film eigentlich immer genau zur richtigen Zeit. Zur Rettung meiner (musikalischen) mentalen Gesundheit bleibt mir doch sonst nur „Schwanensee“ auf ARTE, Pop auf 3Sat – oder eben Weird Al und sein Akkordeon in der ARD-Mediathek. Ich bin so alt, ich kann das feiern! (ARD, Wh.)

  3. Immer wieder doll zu bezeugen, wer halt wie was aus dem kleinen #TinyDeskConcert -Format von NPR macht. Der Meister war zugegen, einfach nur so als richtig solider Rocke-Barde, dieser Herr #WeirdAlYankovic, quasi ein ewiger anderer Blues Brother from another mother und so.

    On this day 35 years ago Nirvana shot the video for ’Smells Like Teen Spirit’.

    And I forget just why I taste
    Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
    I found it hard, it’s hard to find
    Oh well, whatever, never mind

  7. Weird Al Yankovic, Dare To Be Stupid, 1985 on Scotti Bros.

    This was the third studio LP from Weird Al, produced by Rick Derringer. Mixture of paradoes and “style parodies” which don’t copy specific songs but a generalized look and feel – like “Dare to be Stupid” which is in the style of Devo.

    Apparently he approached Prince about doing a parody of “When Doves Cry” but Prince refused. (Yankovic could do these without permission but prefers to only do them with the participation of the originating artist). I do wish Prince had consented.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is a Canadian pressing (Don Mills Ontario plant) manufactured and distributed by CBS Records Canada Ltd / CBS Disques Canada Ltée.
