Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

I've come to appreciate that guy and how hard all of that actually is and should probably listen to more. He did a "Peter and the Wolf" back in ancient times that was seriously great, peerless listening for a kiddo I'd say.

Did you watch the silly biopic? Daniel Radcliffe? Can't remember the name. I tried like 3 different times :( it was so over the top Weird Al that I couldn't fault it for being flat out him AF, but I also just could not finish it lol.

My only other comment in this thread (so far) is singing the virtues of a movie called "Freddy Got Fingered", so. Maybe it's me lol.

    I wish that album were still in print. You can easily "acquire" a digital copy, but it would be nice to own the physical record.

    A great collab with Wendy Carlos.

    It's really fantastic and I'd buy a physical copy in whatever medium.

    Thought I didn't know Wendy Carlos, went and looked, nope I'm familiar! What a badass, and what a cool mind she must have. Of course this came from the two of them, thanks for adding an additional little gem to a treasure from my childhood :)

    She's a moog pioneer. And she collaborated with Al in '88.

    A lot of people don't know that Al was on a Brian Wilson track in the early 1990s, "Let's Stick Together" (it later became "The Waltz").

    Yeah, I know her film score work (just by accident) a lot better than much else sadly. Looks like most of her library is unavailable on land, so to speak.

    And I think I DID know that cuz I used to have a neighbor who was both a super fan and a trivia wiz, lol.

    Definitely a supremely talented artist. The video of him conducting a Jr Orchestra is a lot of fun too, whatever he does, he really commits, which I've always admired.
