Re: Mandatory Fun Timeline/Spoiler Updates
Apparently "Word Crimes" leaked before the whole album did. I'm not sure how everyone missed that.
Let me be your stripper.

Hey! iTunes may have spelled his name wrong, but at least the way they spelled it is a common mistake! http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/mu ... -1.8742026 this is just ridiculous!

That's a new one! I guess 31 years just isn't enough time for the media to learn his name.

One name in that list really makes me smile:Muppetboy09 wrote:Was reading through the booklet that comes with the CD, and in the Thank You sections, I believe there are some hints to who is directing or producing music videos.Don't know if ALL of these people listed are involved, but they are all featured in the section relating to music videos.

- Maker Studios, MC Lars, Jarret Heather, Jonathan Coulton, Liam Lynch, Brian Wisniewski, TruScribe, College Humor, Spencer Griffin, Jon Wolf, Funny or Die, Nerdist, and also lists people appearing in Tacky, followed by Emo Phillips, BJ Novak, Jennifer Chan, Brent Smith, Ryan Anderson
- Spoiler:
- EMO PHILLIPS!!!
I wonder what video he'll be involved with? I wonder if he'll be reprising his role from "UHF" in the video for "Handy." He was a shop teacher in that scene! But then, I wonder why Eddie Pepitone isn't listed there... Maybe he'll be doing the TI or Pharrell part if "Word Crimes" is live action. So many possibilities!
Also, I love how Al has teamed up with three of the biggest Internet comedy sites (Nerdist, CH, and FoD) for these videos rather than relying on artists that aren't as widely known. Very smart move!

I agree. And I feel that the three sites you mentioned will all produce live action videos, so that's super awesome!Bruce the Duck wrote:One name in that list really makes me smile:Muppetboy09 wrote:Was reading through the booklet that comes with the CD, and in the Thank You sections, I believe there are some hints to who is directing or producing music videos.Don't know if ALL of these people listed are involved, but they are all featured in the section relating to music videos.

- He probably didn't list the people who were in "Handy" because the CDs/liner notes were being printed when the video was in production.

- Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Which means Emo is in one of the other videos... "Word Crimes" Please let it be "Word Crimes!"
Actually, I find it a little weird that he thanks the people involved with the videos on the album liner notes when the album doesn't contain the videos at all. But I suppose the videos are the biggest source of publicity for the album itself, so that makes it appropriate.

- Hmm... Jarret Heather is best known for his kinetic typography video for Jonathan Coulton's "Shop Vac." So I think we can look forward to another SFTCTM-style lyric video.

Wondering if that will be the "Word Crimes" video... That might actually make a lot of sense.The Sporkman wrote:

Re: Mandatory Fun Timeline/Spoiler Updates
As it is now officially release day, and the album is available digitally, nobody has to use spoiler tags! Hurray!
