Ask Weird Al

The above link will take you to a page on Antimusic.com where you can submit a question to be answered by Weird Al Yankovic

Its kind of like the Ask Al section on his Official Website which I love to read through a couple of times a year.

Al gives some of the funniest answers to some of the most serious questions, so hopefully this will turn out to be along those lines.

Thanks to SNH ART for the tip.

As a reminder:

Straight Outta Lynwood comes out this coming Tuesday and I may attempt my first ever music review.

No Video Premier

That link is to Weird Al Yankovic's Official MySpace
Blog

where he announces that the AOL premier of his video for "White and Nerdy" off of his new album "Straight Outta Lynwood" has been canceled.

It seems that the video has already been leaked on the internet and AOL doesn't feel comfortable premiering a video that people have already seen.

So Al is going to upload his video to his MySpace page soon.

OCC News Update

So what's new in the corner today.

I'm officially employed again. Boy what an ordeal that was. All it served to do is remind me how despite my thoughts of going back to school I am clearly in no shape to do this.

I had to take a test as part of my interview. The test was simple enough it was answer yes or no to the following scenarios.

It reminded me of every bad test I ever had in college. I never used to get test anxiety. I was an honor student my first year of college. Then for some reason the test anxiety came and I haven't been able to shake it off for years.

Remind me to tell you some time about my college life as not everyone that is reading this will have heard that.

A simple test, I passed but boy did it up the blood pressure a bit.

Otherwise, everything else was great.

Then I went and picked up the Complete Weird Al Show on DVD. All 13 glorious semi-educational episodes. I immediately went straight for the Weird Al commentary tracks.

Well, I'm thinking of rapping it up for the evening. I will make one more post to this blog at least before I go to bed however. I'd put it here but I want people to see it.

New Weird Al Yankovic Song

The Above Link is to Weird Al's MySpace page where he has just debuted his new single and made it available for download.

I really like it, and even appreciate the Irony. But, I'm not going to spoil the irony, you'll figure it out when you listen to the song.

More complete thoughts behind the cut.

I've listened to the song titled "Don't Download this Song" a number of times and I think it is fast becoming one of my favorite Weird Al songs. The irony is that he's offering this song as a free download, when its all about downloading music.

It has the usual Weird Al humor and is a good send-up of songs such as "We are the World" which is one song I'm sure this is a style parity of. If the rest of his new album is like this then it should be a must own.
