On episode 166 (Part 1) of Crazy Jay’s Rocking Comedy Show, our overlord Al had a pretty nice (albeit low audio quality) interview. Within this view of the inter variety, Al continued to profess his approval of Twenty-Six and a Half:

“I’ve heard the album, it’s fantastic. Everybody did an amazing job I’m so flattered and honored. I can’t believe the fans are that dedicated and they’re willing to spend the time and effort on my behalf.”

Recognition is Neat!

On the latest episode of the nerdy show known as “Nerdy Show“, Mr. Al Yankovic got interviewed. In said interview, he was asked about our album, his response:

‎”I’ve been listening to it, and I think it’s really fantastic work. It’s actually quite amazing. The quality and production of it is mind-boggling.”

We’re very honored, and flattered to get such a positive reaction from the dude we made this thing for. Thanks, Al!

Let’s All Be Weird Al!

Some of you may be aware of the parody-writing guy, Spaff. If not, he can basically be described as someone who writes parodies that come very close to the quality that Al has. He was slated to be included on the tribute album, but couldn’t get his song done in time for our release.

Luckily, Spaff has finally finished this track! It’s called “If I Could Be Weird Al”. It’s available for free download right this second at The Funny Music Project. It includes cameos by a ton of the artists on Twenty-Six and a Half (Insane Ian, Steve Goodie, Worm Quartet, Devo Spice, to name a few), as well as appearances by Dr. Demento and Weird Al himself! Why are you still reading this when you could be listening to it? Go! Hear it! Now! Blarg!

Number of Backers

Hey people,

I thought I’d just point out how wonderfully ironic it is that our total number of backers on KickStarter turned out to be 27. That is all.
