It’s been ages since I worked on any kind of graphic artwork. Mainly cause I own 17 websites and work hard on them. And I haven’t been inspired since. So here’s my first piece. Hopefully more to come.
Added more photos from TIFF from the Premiere and there were also tons of photoshoots posted via twitter. I forgot to mention yesterday that I posted photos of Erin on her site. So you can see her and Dan on her site. Make sure to check out our twitter for more photoshoots and interviews.
One new interview via Deadline that can’t be posted so here’s the link: Deadline Interview
Tons of new photos from the Toronto International Film Festival for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. We also have video on our channel’s Youtube playlist. We also have a new admin at our facebook group for Weird Al: Shamim Dana.

New photos from the New York Times and an interview with Dan and Al Yankovic.
Here’s a snippet from the interview:
“When you’re playing Al, to not give it a good, honest attempt seems a wasted opportunity,” Radcliffe said.
Yankovic replied, “Every time I see somebody play the accordion on TV or film, it’s always a disappointment.” (As an exception, he singled out Mary Steenburgen, who he said “can actually play.”) “Dan put in the effort,” he said. “I don’t know if he could do a solo performance.”
Radcliffe quickly responded, “No way, I could not. But I can do the left hand on ‘My Bologna’ pretty effectively. I learned the bits I needed for the songs, on one hand or the other.” He laughed and added, “Doing them both at the same time is a nonstarter.”
