I have always been a Sci-Fi fan and one of my all-time favorite shows is the Twilight Zone. It's really hard to believe that it lasted only five seasons, but back in the early sixties, TZ was cranking

Well the 'end of the world' was predicted for earlier this year and, well it didn't happen. But, that didn't stop 'Weird Al' Yankovic from making his own prediction of the 'Alpocalypse' with his brand new cd with the above mentioned title.

One thing Al hates is when you ask him if this is his comeback album. His reply is, "I NEVER went anywhere, so how can it be comeback."

The new date of the "Alpocalypse' is Tuesday, June 21 (also, the first day of Summer) and the release date of his new album. I have gone to Al's website (which is streaming his new album) and have listen to it three times,so far, in 24 hours. This is classic Al, as he takes on songs from B.o.B ('Another Tattoo'), Taylor Swift ('TMZ'), Miley Cyrus ('Party in the CIA') and a very heavily-influenced Doors sounding 'Craig's List.' This album, like all of his others are sprinkled with original compositions too, 'Ringtone,' 'Stop Forwarding That Crap To Me,' the hilarious 'Skipper Dan' and of course his signature Polka Song, called 'Polka Face,' where he takes on pop music and puts it to a polka...beat?

A lot of these songs were performed at his concert at the Amarillo Globe News Center earlier this year and they are all still relevant and hilarious.

So, with my overflowing admiration and highly praised thoughts on his new album, here's a look at my top 10 favorite "Weird Al" songs.

I recently stumbled upon a very cool magazine, called 'Mental Floss.' It has a bunch of trivia and odd lists. With one of my passions being animation, I just had to share this one with you. We all know the Snow White's Seven Dwarfs are; Sneezy, Bashful, Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, H

So, I figured I would offer up a list of my top ten favorite songs from the 1980's. These are songs that, no matter what I'm doing, I will stop everything and turn the dial "to eleven." Check out my list and let me know what your favorite songs from the eighties are.

Summer officially begins on June 21st, but the onslaught of, what Hollywood hopes, Blockbusters are ready to roll out at the theaters. Before I give you my top five of can't miss/can't wait to see movies, I forewarn you that these are just MY personal favorites that I'm looking forward to. There are MANY more to see over the summer. And with the 90-100 degree temps, who wouldn't enjoy an couple of hours in an air conditioned movie theater.
So, grab some popcorn and a big 'ole soda and check out my top five for the summer.
