New Digital Accordion best of all worlds
Check out this interview with Weird Al from the Roland Users Group Insider mostly about the newest generation of the V-Accordion by Roland which he used at a surprise appearance in a POTUSA concert.
He really likes the size and weight of the new FR-2. Maybe one day we’ll see him juggling three of those on stage or on YouTube. They’re so light and fluffy, he can fit twenty-seven of them in his mouth at one time.
Also interesting to note is that he hopes to be back in the studio once again this year. Although, there’s no definite plans at the moment. So who knows?

Chicago students seeks Al for organs
Files this under ‘News of the Weird… Al’. The past four days, University of Chicago students ran around taking part in what is perhaps the world’s largest scavenger hunt. Among the items sought after were
- a tar gun and a feather gun [18 points]
- a voting receipt from the Democratic Party primary of Guam, Indiana, or North Carolina [4 points]
- 22818877@N06
- Have a Nobel Prize winner or “Weird Al” Yankovic witness your organ donor registration. [15 points for a Nobel laureate, 16 points for "Weird Al"]
That’s right, imagine if “Weird Al” was a Nobel laureate, too! I dunno, maybe for Physics or Most-Bean-Burritos-Eaten. He’d be worth a whopping 31 points!
