This just in from CatraDhtem. Thanks!

For those of you with HDNet (and HD TVs, for that matter), Al will be featured and interviewed on a new episode of “Sound Off with Matt Pinfield” this week.

The known times are (all EST)….

November 11 - 8:30PM
November 12 - 12:30AM, 4AM

Good news!  It looks like A&E is going to show the Weird Al Biography earlier than expected.  According to their website, it will air on Sunday, November 11th at 8am (7am Central).

Sweet!

The A.V. Club has just put up an interview with our main man, Weird Al, asking about his tastes in pop music, what songs would he redo, and Bob Odenkirk.

Fame and Fortune: Weird Al Yankovic

Bankrate.com interviews Weird Al on his career, his mad rapping skills, and what’s next after the tour.   Nothing too earth-shattering, but Al does hint at possible feature films and/or television projects.  Woo!

Here’s a fan to admire. He got to interview Al at this year’s OC Fair. I had no idea there was even a contest. He looked very comfortable in front of Al and the camera and he asked some really good questions too. Odd how they use video footage from the Poodle Hat tour though.

Get yourself some Weird Al goodness with an interview on Urban Rush from Sept. 14:

Audio interview with Weird Al: Giving hope to nerds worldwide

Here’s a nice long interview with Al back in May.  For some reason, it seems to get cut off at the end, but there’s still plenty of Al-info to digest.  How did he prepare for the concert?  Will there be another box set?  etc…

What’s So Weird About Al’s Place? Could it be the plaster cast of his in-laws?

From MetroMix.com, here is a fascinating interview that asks Al twenty questions mostly centered around his home. What’s the most luxurious item? What’s on his nightstand? etc… There’s lots of great answers in this article, but I think my favorite quote would have to be:

If you had to save one “thing” from your home, what would it be?
My photo albums. I can always win more Grammys.

Hee hee hee.

(Thanks Orthography Enthusiast)

Ah, at long last, another interview/cartoon has popped up courtesy of Doogtoons.com. Here, Al talks about two of his childhood qualities… Spelling Bees and Accordions

Al’s Well That Ends Well

Here’s a nice editorial by Peter Chianca (who also did the Al interview “Revenge of the Nerd” earlier this month)
written after attending a Weird Al concert at the North Shore Music Theatre last Saturday.  He notes that Al is one of the rarest of all subjects that can bring teenagers and parents together in perfect harmony, if only for one night.
