Weird Al Yankovic in Concert!

I was lucky enough to see what was one of two taped performances of Weird Al Yankovic in concert yesterday.  (So if you buy his 'live' DVD for Alpocalypse, I'm in the audience.)

It was a great concert, with a lot of old and new songs mixed together.  I didn't take any photos as I thought that might get me kicked out, though I saw others taking plenty.  So I've nothing to share but this, taken off youtube.  I was a fan of his work back when he wrote 'Fat', 'Like a surgeon', etc., but lost touch until I started hearing newer singles like 'White & Nerdy'.  Which is my excuse for not knowing he'd done a song about Spiderman to Billy Joel's 'Piano Man', a song I really like.

And if he's touring near you and the show's not sold out yet, he puts on an incredible performance.

Star Trek's White and Nerdy

I found this video on Grasping For The Wind.  It's taken from GeneralGrin's youtube site.  Like Star Trek the Next Generation?  Like Weird Al's song: White & Nerdy?  They make a fabulous combination.

6 Awesome Sci-Fi Music Videos

There have been some great sci-fi inspired music videos on youtube. Here are a few of my favourites:

Bohemian Matrix by icemancocker


Aliens Rap, from Robomayhem's page.


Total Recal: the Musical, from legolamb's page.


An older, but still amazing, video the Star Wars (John Williams is the Man) a cappella medley by Corey Vidal and Moosebutter


Weird Al Yankovic comes up with some great songs, The Saga Begins, about Star Wars Episode One is no exception. Taken from b2ftube's youtube page.


And a really old one, Star Trekkin' by the Firm. I heard this for the first time about 2 years ago, but it definitely deserves a newer audience. Taken from roopert's youtube page.
