I am halfway through my downl...err...legally acquired copy of 'Lynwood' and I am underwhelmed. To be honest, I am disappointed. I love Weird Al. Always have. Growing up and now as an adult. Guess I am not up-enough on current music to get it, but it lacks the fun of Running With Scissors, in my mind.

I was hoping there would be a little Sean Paul in there.

For example, his NIN parody on [i]Running with Scissors[/i] about a OCD sufferer called [i]Germs[/i] is pure brilliance.

Also, casting Fred Durst as a polka frontman has pretty much made my week.

Here's the correct link to "Angry White Boy Polka":

Here's the one from his last CD:

My guess is this new one is one of the videos on the DVD side of the DualDisc release of Al's new record.
Damn, I should be writing for this blog. ;-)

I am totally out of touch!

If growing up means no more Weird Al, then maybe I'll have to reconsider.

I mean, I did when I wanted to have "I Lost On Jeopardy" on tape, but that was like, so long ago. Grow up, everyone.
