Well, this isn't as weird as a Billy Corgan/Jessica Simpson collaboration, but its close. Montreal post-rock legends Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced the newest addition to Nightmare Before Christmas festival, which they are curating on behalf of All Tomorrow's Parties. Who better to compliment the bizarre free-form droning of GY!BE...

"Weird Al" Yankovic — The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 19, 2009 4:19 pm
The entire time I listened to The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic, I had to wonder whether the guy was parodying and mocking the concept of "essential" collections or greatest hits albums. You'd have to figure that an "essential" disc that consists of 38 songs over two discs means a lot of those tunes aren't entirely... "essential." Even if this...

Yankovic will appear with the band at the Dec. 8 show in support of Winston's Village at the Echoplex. It's part of a two-night event that's intended to raise funds for the...

It sounded like a real good idea when we started it — two full discs and 38 songs of Weird Al — but let me tell ya, 38 songs worth of Weird Al when you're trying to work is a lot of Weird Al. It ended up taking us a week to listen to this all the way through. Don't get us wrong, we still love Al around here. But our love is best doled out in...

Two Disc Weird Al Compilation On The Way

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 25, 2009 4:05 pm
Stop making phony calls and eating my bologna because "Weird Al" Yankovic will release a two-disc compilation, The Essential Weird Al, on Oct. 27. The collection doesn't yet have a track list, but it's sure to include tracks from throughout Yankovic's parody-making career. We sure hope "My Bologna" is on there, along with...

James Blunt Is A Humourless Twat

in
By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) July 23, 2009 3:58 pm
James Blunt is a serious artist, dammit. He's more serious, in fact, than Queen, Joan Jett And The Blackhearts, Eminem and Michael Jackson (amongst others). Blunt is above being parodied by that menace to modern music, Weird Al Yankovic. While Yankovic compiled a list of songs for his upcoming two-CD greatest hits compilation, he was notified...

"Weird Al" Is More Popular Now Than Ever

By James Simons (CHARTattack) October 30, 2006 6:00 pm
Kurt Cobain called "Weird Al" Yankovic a "rock genius" and Homer Simpson noted that "it would take a man of stone with a funny bone of steel" to resist him. Meanwhile, thousands of everyday folks have approached him over the past two decades to swear their undying loyalty and, possibly, to lob a few song ideas his...

Weird Al Takes On Avril Lavigne

in
By CHARTattack Staff May 7, 2003 1:00 pm
Weird Al Yankovic has poked fun at a lot of artists in his double-decade long career: Madonna, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and, of course, Michael Jackson. While Weird Al's music appeals to few people over the age of 13, you've got to admit that a parody by the man that dares to be stupid is a rite of passage for any popular pop star....
