and neither is our 2nd uber-trina in a row, "Yellow Moon". Where are all those great Foghead requests? (Or did Fogheads actuallly ask for these?)

I'd be delighted to get any of those - particularly "My Brave Face" (or, as someone else - Urth? Tinka? - suggested, "Figure of Eight").

I didn't think it sounded like Weird Al at first, but then again, he does that with his voice in some of this other songs.
Still, I agree with Gazoo that Weird Al can do better (i.e. Headline News).  This one in addition to sounding out of place was just meh.

 for some reason I rented Weird Al's movie called "UHF" because netflix said it was under appreciated and had some cult following --

OMG.  it sucks bad and blows hard. don't bother.

I haven't seen Glitter, but UHF just has no laughs. And although Mariah Carey prob can't act her way out of a nail salon, at least she's nice to look at.

well, at least he used real fish for that.... it's about all I can say. 

The only moment I found myself laughing in that movie was in the brief moment during the telephon when the Kipper Kids (the guys with large prosthetic chins) were babbling.

..so it appears that the "Conan the Librarian" clip AL played WAS from this very same UHF movie... did anyone catch that?

If all goes well, there will be a CD release party in SF in early 2011, possibly sooner. I'll keep you posted. You think it's in the book at The Mint?
