so we all know 'weird al' yankovic from his quirky, askew versions of popular songs. see 'yoda', 'i think i'm a clone now', 'amish paradise', and so on. but weird here is quite good at constructing originals as well. 'weird al's greatest hits' was the second cassette i owned. 'kenny rogers' greatest hits' being the first. 'reuben james'=classic. i digress. most of my favorite weird penned originals come from his earlier work, 'dare to be stupid', 'in 3-d', 'polka party', and so forth, but it's good to see weird still making albums that i'd listen to. i haven't heard 'straight outta lynwood' yet, but i'm sure i'll get around to it. also, weird made a totally hilarious movie back in the day with michael 'superracist' richards and fran 'what?' drescher called 'uhf' and it's fucking great. a laugh riot, as it were. go see it.
dare to be stupid

nature trail to hell
