What's not to love about NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts? Or Weird Al, for that matter?
From Brandon Choe’s fantastic Los Angeles Times feature article about AL:
Yankovic is far and away the most successful comedy recording artist of all time. He’s sold more than 12 million albums. His last album, “Mandatory Fun,” was the first comedy album in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — and the first one to top that chart at all since Allan Sherman dropped “My Son, the Nut” in 1963. It went on to win Yankovic his fourth Grammy Award — of what are now five — in 2015.
We're clearing the decks of Weird One's posts, with our final gem landing on Wednesday.
