I found out today via indie music site Pitchfork, that "Weird Al" was hand picked by the band Godspeed You! Black Emperor to play the All Tomorrow's Parties festival. What the hell is going on here? When did "Weird Al" Yancovic become "cool," and chosen to play a festival that normally features the newest, nosiest obscure bands? He also sang live with The Pixies a little earlier this year, which was also great.
I for one couldn't be happier for the guy. His parodies have always been hilarious, and he's always seemed border-line insane, but in a fantastic way.
Best of luck to you Al!!!
