World of Weird Al Yankovic

maybe he could do limited-edition, fan club albums with a bit of bonus material. You know we'd pop for them.

the Louis CK method

Very interesting news tidbit.

that could work...plus, it would put less pressure on Al to do as many videos...

Holy crap, Shel and Al collaborating? Would have been awesome!

Quote of the day re: parodies

Ninety-eight percent of the time they’re pretty bad ideas, and the other two percent of the time I’ve already thought of them.

Here's Weird Al in 1987 at the Japan site of the MTV Video Music Awards (which happened simultaneously in other cities of the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7VjPi1U4fI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Of a similar vintage are these two clips from Al's comedic kindred spirits - Pee Wee Herman * Judy Tenuta:

These were all discovered in a box of old videocassettes (Betamax & VHS) that contain recorded content from television broadcasts of the 1980s (with some going all the way back to the late 1970s). And there is much more where these came from so STAY TUNED !
