Hot dog!  Weird Al has just posted some incredible news on his MySpace blog.   First off, a reminder that Al will be appearing in a brand new episode of the Simpsons on Jan 27, THAT’S THIS SUNDAY!   Want to be spoiled a little for this episode?  Read the post!

Second, Al has apparently been keeping himself a little busy since his last concert show in October.   He’s directing yet another video for a certain music group he’s parodied before.  Which one?  Read the post!!

And third, if you missed out on seeing an Al show last year, you might just be a redneck, whoops I mean you might just get a chance to see him soon.  OMG!!! Read the post!!!

Hello faithful reader! You still here? Great! The staff here at Yank Blog have unanimously decided to take a small break from the writer’s strike to bring you this bit of important news from The Official Weird Al Web Page:

AL ON THE SIMPSONS… AGAIN!
Al is making a return cameo appearance on The Simpsons - yay! The episode - “That 90’s Show” - will air Sunday, January 27.

Okay everyone, back to the strike!

If you are in the Hollywood area this weekend, you may want to wander over to the Steve Allen Theater for their holiday sing-a-long show. It promises to be fun and entertaining with some extra special guests.

The Steve Allen Theater and Courgette Records are proud to present actor/comedian Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Le Show) and his wife, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and humorist Judith Owen, in an evening of holiday music and mirth. The evening unites Christmas-lovers and Scrooges alike, in traditional and nontraditional holiday music, part performance, part sing-along. Both reverent and irreverent…a perfect kick-off to the holiday season featuring surprise special guests, including Jill Sobule and The Bobs!

Ok, so Harry Shearer would be cool to see, but so what? So WHAT?! So what if you knew that Al was scheduled to be one of those super secret special guests! That’s so what! Can you imagine seeing Al doing a sing-a-long with Harry Shearer live and on stage? Probably, but your imagination also probably sucks compared to seeing it live! What are you waiting for?! GO! GO! GO!

Tickets are available on the website for either the Friday or Saturday show, both at 8pm, for $25.

Thanks to anonymous tipster, UHJeff, who passed along this joyous bit of news.

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

Well looky here!  It’s Al birthday, but he’s the one giving us gifts (or at least, the webmaster is).  Go check out the new pictures and fan art at The Official Weird Al Website.  New pics on stage, pics from inside the tour bus, Al and a dinosaur, etc…   Good stuff.

Welp, the tour is over for now, and Al made a new blog post on MySpace giving thanks to all his wonderful concert goers. Also, if you were not able to see the special on the Biography channel recently simply because you don’t subscribe to it, the show will be broadcast on the A&E channel November 18 early Sunday morning. Woo woo!

And will there be more shows added to the tour next year? Well, so far that’s up in the air. As one of the fellow tour-chasers, we all want to give a big THANK YOU to you and the band and crew for creating such an entertaining show night after night after night after night after night after night after night.

Also, last but not least…

Happy Birthday, Al!!!

Here, have some cake. It’s so delicious and moist.

The Official Weird Al Site has just put up some new pictures from the tour plus fan art.

The Biography Channel will be airing Al’s “Biography” special tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern. If you miss it, or feel like watching it again, you can do so early tomorrow morning at 2 a.m Eastern. Woo!

Surf on over to WeirdAl.com’s Gallery Page for a slew of concert pics, pics of Al’s head from the ‘Weasel Stomping Day’ video, and a plethora of fan art.
