The musician and parodist Weird Al was on The Sound of Young America earlier this year, but the details of his new album were still under wraps. It was so top-secret, he couldn’t even allude to it. We agreed to do the interview if we could do a follow up when Alpocalypse was released.
The caveat from their side — that we come over to Al’s house to record! So this time, we’re at Al’s to talk about the timing of parodies, getting artists’ permission (including Lady Gaga), and where he stores all those Hawaiian shirts.
