It might be the Vicodin talking, but...

Joe (my dentist) hurt me today. It didn't hurt while he was doing the stuf to me... matter of fact, I actually fell asleep while he was elbow-deep in my mouth! But here I am two hours later, the novacain has worn off, and now my jaw and teeth are all the hurt. Vicodin is helping me now... making me alternately Loopy and Un-hurty.

So I called in sick.

Which has given me an EXCELLENT amount of time for listening to and enjoying Weird Al's new album, Straight Outa Lynwood! If you want to download and listen to it, go ahead and download it from me, here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/9ef089/

It really is quite excellent! Besides the obvious parodies of Chamillionaire, Green Day, Usher an R. Kelly he's also got some spot-on "style" parodies of The Beach Boys an Rage Againt The Machine, as well as the all-star charity efforts of the 80's such as "We Are The World".

Best reason to get the CD rather than just download it? It's a dual-disk. The second side is a DVD with 6 music videos (sorry, no "White & Nerdy"), a nice behind-the-scenes of Al in the studio, Karaoke/instrumental versions of all the songs, and a "subtitled" version of the album so youc an read along with the music!

Best $17 I've spent all this week!

[supernovame.livejournal.com]

isn't it ironic? don't ya think? It's like you bring pie and no one else does, everyone brings pie and you're not here. Just a little too ironic. I really do think...

I know, I know... 'tis the first Ninja Pie Day i have ever missed :(

It was a pretty decent CD, but since I'm not a rap or R&B fan I didn't get the parodies as much as I have in the past.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I was afraid of that as well. But the R&B parodies stand on their own as excellent Weird Al songs in and o themselves. "Stuck in the Drive-Thru" had me rolling with it's sheer length and mundacity!

It may just be the Vicodin talking, but I put this album steadilly in the Top 3 Weird Al Albums of All Time!

I was actually very disappointed with "Drive-Thru." I get what point he was trying to make, but it really didn't jibe with me.
"Close but No Cigar," on the other hand...

'Twas a truly nifty Pie Day - not only has Tanya been nominated for Official Keeper of the Pie, but we have gained more ninja on the graveyard team! And beth was pleased, as she also shared in the bounty.

I've been meaning to nominate Starlee and... uhm... the chick that sits in the desk next to where Jon or Mieken sit every day. Natalie? No idea what her name is, but he laughs at my jokes so she's cool by me!
