Werd to the Weird

Meet Little Al. We featured this State Fair star on our morning show this week. His handler said I had to mind his personal space when leaning in for a picture.
He’s a cutie!

We had a blast at the State Fair this week. Our $8-admission ticket also granted us access to the Weird Al Yankovic concert. It’s the best concert I’ve been to this year.

Weird Al and crew played their own twisted, at times polka-lovin’, versions of hip-hop, rock, R & B and pop hits. I was tickled to hear the Weird version of Complicate, Beat It, Gangster’s Paradise and Don McLean’s epic American Pie. Weird Al is brilliant, sharp and outrageous with his lyrics. According to Wikipedia, he’s been cranking out hits since his first parody tune aired on the radio in 1979.

Good times.

Earlier this month, we checked out the Davis music scene with a KDVS concert. One of my favorite bands from my KALX days, Casiotone of the Painfully Alone, headlined the $5 concert at on the UC Davis campus.

LA-Based Foot Foot opened up the show.
