He has a new album out soon and he has posted a track from his new album on his myspace.com page.

If you have no idea who he is or what he does, read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Al).  They can say it more accurately than I can. :)  He has a large cult following, he is famous for covering popular songs and changing the words, not only that he also does original comedy tracks.  He also has a penchant for remixing tracks with Polka.  

My favourite tracks are Gump which is a re-write of the Presidents of the USA - Lump, parody of the film Forrest Gump but also of the original POTUSA video.  Ahmish Paradise which is a cover of Gangster Paradise, Coolio was not too impressed with that since he did not give permission for the cover, Al did it regardless.  Its All About The Pentiums is a great track.  The Saga Begins is a cover to American Pie, Hes going to be a jedi.  The video is cool with the Emperor playing the piano.
