Lately his Youtube account has been filling up with lots of past videos like The Saga Begins, It’s All About The Pentiums, and one of my favorites, the ‘Al in the studio’ footage that was include in the DVD side of ‘Straight Outta Lynwood’ DualDisc. Ah, the bit with Nina at the very end is soooo cute. Anyway, as of right now there’s 21… no wait, (Thanks for the reminder, Richard!) September 26, 2007Interview with a fanHere’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. “Weird Al” Interview Dave September 11, 2007MuchMusic clipsIf you’re suffering from the condition of being NON-Canadian, it can be pretty tough having to deal with the jealousy of their national health care, cheaper meds, low crime rates, and clean air. Plus, you probably never got the chance to watch their version of MTV called MuchMusic, and therefore never got to see Weird Al transform it into AlMusic in the past. Well, aside from going through a full nation-transplant, you can alleviate the aggravation by watching these video clips provided by MuchMusic.com. Remember to take with plenty of water and wait at least one hour before swimming. (Thanks to reader Greg S. for the link) |
