The Weird Al Says Tweet!

[mellow weasel]

You definitely should! If you want a recommendation, I can give you some records of his to go off of (I have a list of what the best introductory albums are for each of his different styles).

I'm interested in rock and funny music parts, jazz isn't quite my cup of tea (I'm not sophisticated enough or something...)

k, will send you a message to get this thread back on topic.

How is it not on topic? Viktė was asking for more background on what Al tweeted.

Anyway, getting back on topic, I would wait to get minnick27's suggestions. He's the Zappa expert around here. There are something like 100 Frank Zappa albums so you're bound to like one of em!

Hey, Big Spoon is probably just as qualified. But to get started Strictly Commercial is a best of collection, so that's as good a place to start as any. As far as individual albums the most popular ones to auggest to beginners are Apostrophe and Overnite Sensation. There's also a series of live albums called You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore that are good samplers. My favorite one is volume 2. Volume 6 focuses more on the sex songs. There's also a tough to find live album called Philly 76 that I love because it's Philly and it's also the only recording of Lady Bianca and the band and she's an awesome singer. The one thing you have to remember about Frank is if you like a song you may see it on another album and be happy because you know it and then hear a totally different version that you don't like. He was a perfectionist who never felt anything was finished. Even some live recordings are edited to have vocals from a tour in 1970, drums from 79, guitar from 88.

Anyone know what this is from? https://twitter.com/alyankovic/status/6 ... 1193406464

Al retweeted this from suzanne;
https://twitter.com/suzanneyankovic/sta ... 76/photo/1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Which has always been a curious inquiry of mine. Holding hair up in wigs isn't the easiest task, especially fluffy hair.
Also, I'm so TOTALLY JEALOUS of all his lacefront wigs!

Okay, I know this is a WEIRD AL SAYS
But this tweet by Suzanne is too adorable and funny!

All of her tweets are adorable and funny.

WHAT?!

I was pleasantly surprised to see Suzanne tweeting again! She took quite the break from Twitter. She also tweeted about Al singing to her during WBUL last night. I remember that! I could not see that he was singing to her, though. I was in that same section! I was several rows up, though. I can't believe I missed seeing her.
