Dear Close, Personal Friend of Al,
(ok, a Myspace friend, but still nice to be called a friend!)
As you may have heard, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been busy recording some tunes for his next album… but his next album still won’t be coming out for quite some time, and being the impatient lad that he is, Al has decided to release several of his new songs digitally over the course of the summer.

And the first of those new songs is out TODAY!  It’s called “Craigslist” and it’s in the style of The Doors (original Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek himself plays on it!)

What was I to do? A friend lets you know about a new song on the day of your radio show, of curse I had to play it! I broke “Crigslist” at 5 pm (ish) Pacific. It would be interesting to know who, if anyone got it on radio sooner.
