"Weird Al" Yankovic just announced on his blog (yes Al has a blog now, in addition to his website, his Twitter account and his YouTube channel and his Facebook page... quite a technophile this guy is) that The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic will hit the streets and online retailers on October 27th.
What is The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic? Two glorious CDs (yes: actual physical media!) of choice goodness from Weird Al's first twelve studio albums. Check out this track listing!
DISC 1All of that Al goodness for only $15.98! And I must say, this is quite a smart assortment from across Weird Al's career: both parodies and originals (and there's even the extra gory version of "The Night Santa Went Crazy"!). If you've yet to discover the musical genius of "Weird Al" Yankovic (where the heck have you been?!) then this set is going to be a very good starting-off point. And if you're a longtime fan like me, well you and I are gonna buy this anyway... right?!?

I have a question. Is "Weird Al" married? He's very cute!
SWF in Colorado
Quite a number of "the finer gender" have said that about Al! He is married, and he and his wife have been blessed with a very lovely lass of a daughter :-)
Weird Al should make an applet for the iPhone and iPod Touch. He can sell it for 27 dollars :)
Lucky enough to see Al twice and spend some time with him when I worked in radio. A genuinely nice guy and more talent than many people realize.
No Bohemian Polka? :(
