  • Roots Report: Bitter Fingers
    Roots Report: Bitter Fingers Okee dokee folks …”It’s hard to write a song with bitter fingers.” That line comes from the Elton John/Bernie Taupin song from the Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy album, and I’ve always identified with it. Writing songs when you are not in the proper frame of mind can be a difficult task. Writing anything in general can be challenging when your head isn’t in the game. One’s emotions can fuel inspiration, but they can also dampen it. I have heard a lot of songwriters say, “Never piss off a songwriter. They will write a song about you,” but in my case, it may take a while for the bitter fingers to compose a wrathful rhyme. Unfortunately I’ve had a lot of experience doing this. I really don’t need anymore ill-tempered inspiration, but it just keeps coming. Can you tell that I am in a foul mood? I will stop my venting and get on with writing about music stuff. We are full swing into winter and it doesn’t matter what Punxsutawney Phil has to say; we still have 43 days on the calendar until spring. Just make sure that you have a warm coat and good snow tires and plan your forays well. Even though it may be inhospitable outside there are a lot of great songs to hear inside. Not all of them sour. They are probably, mostly, inspiring and happy. Maybe I need a dose of this musical medicine. Read on. Common Fence Music has a fabulous February in store.

  • Polka, Parodies and Cheese: a Glimpse Into "Weird Al" Yankovic's World by Zachary N
    Polka, Parodies and Cheese: A glimpse into "Weird Al" Yankovic's world By Zachary N. Simmons, Correspondent Aug 28, 2016 Wielding an accordion like a thunder god, “Weird Al” Yankovic is blasting his way into the region next week as part of his 80-venue Mandatory World Tour. The tour follows up "Mandatory Fun," his first No. 1 comedy album since 1963. Can polka medleys, songs about grammar, and a nine-minute insight of a man's fantasy on a bus do this? It did and the tour is going strong. “Weird Al” is known for his comical, clean-cut song parodies and he's been enjoying success in the genre since the late 1970s, when Dr. Demento's radio show was jetting out Yankovic music like “Yoda” ("Lola," The Kinks). The '80s and MTV launched his mega-hits like "Eat It" ("Beat It," Michael Jackson). And today's music continues Courtesy photo"Weird Al" Yankovic unleashes his brand of humor on the region to yield Yankovic parodies like "White & Nerdy" ("Ridin'," in two shows next week. Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone) and his latest, "Foil" ("Royals," Lorde). But Yankovic — the curly haired Californian synonymous with Hawaiian shirts and smirks — acknowledges "humor is a very personal thing." He prefers his original songs, ones that are not direct parodies, which he said "require a lot more work and research.” "Jackson Park Express" — a "nine-minute love song" off his latest album — is a favorite. That's not to say Yankovic doesn't enjoy his parodies. Though not legally bound to ask permission, Yankovic does seek approval to parody a song, typically with affirmative results.

  • "Weird Al" Yankovic Gör Sverigeexklusiv Spelning På Grönan
    2015-01-20 12:00 CET "Weird Al" Yankovic gör Sverigeexklusiv spelning på Grönan Han slog igenom på 80-talet och blev ett popkulturfenomen genom att skriva parodiska texter och göra komiska musikvideos av kända pophits, bland annat Michael Jacksons ”Bad” som blev ”Fat”. Han har aldrig tidigare uppträtt i Sverige men den 24 september kl. 20.00 möter han sina svenska fans för första gången genom en exklusiv spelning på Gröna Lunds Stora Scen. ”Weird Al” Yankovic släppte sin första parodiska låt 1976 men det var när han förvandlade Michael Jacksons låt ”Bad” till ”Fat” tillsammans med en lika humoristisk musikvideo, som han slog igenom ordentligt. Sedan dess har han blivit något av ett popkulturfenomen och gjort komiska versioner på låtar som Madonnas ”Like a Virgin” (”Like a Surgeon”), Nirvanas ”Smells Like Teen Spirit” (”Smells Like Nirvana”) och Lady Gagas ”Born This Way” (”Perform This Way”). Han har sålt över 12 miljoner album, vunnit tre Grammys och avverkat över 1000 konserter, men han har aldrig förr spelat i Sverige. I juni förra året släpptes senaste albumet ”Mandatory Fun”, där han bland annat gjort om Pharrell Williams låt ”Happy” till ”Tacky”. Albumet gick direkt in på förstaplatsen på Billboardlistan, något som aldrig skett tidigare för ett album inom genren komedi. I sommar ger sig "Weird Al" Yankovic ut på sin turné "Mandatory World Tour" och han gör endast ett stopp i Sverige. Den 24 september får Sverigepubliken äntligen se detta komiska fenomen live för första gången när han kliver ut på Gröna Lunds Stora Scen. KONSERTSOMMAREN 2015Med Gröna Lunds entrékort Gröna Kortet har man fri entré hela säsongen, inklusive alla konserter.
