New Weird Al album delayed
http://www.weirdal.com/aa.htm
(Sorry that I didn't post this earlier, appearently this news is about a month old)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
APRIL 27, 2006
Tracy A. of Hudson, Florida asks: Okay, Al. So what DID that huge "27" that flashed on the screen April 7th really mean? Everyone wants to know. Come on, spill your guts!
Oh, okay. Well, if you must know, the big “27” that appeared briefly on this web site was the beginning of a teaser campaign to announce that the new album was coming out on June 27. I’m very sorry to say that the album is not coming out on June 27 anymore, due to something which threw a major monkey wrench into our release plans. (Don’t worry, it’s just silly record company politics. Maybe I’ll tell you the story someday.) Anyway, we’re obviously trying to resolve the issue, and hoping to get the album out as soon as humanly possible. I’m bound and determined to get it out… well, sometime this year, for sure. I really think it’s a great album (although I may be just a little biased) and I sure hope everybody will think it’s been worth the wait.

Elsewhere on Al's site (http://www.weirdal.com/rcdgdate.htm), it lists recording dates for all of his 'released' songs. It lists 11 new recordings, the last 4 albums have had 12 songs, Wikipedia's entry for Al (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Al_Yankovic) suggests that because of this, the album may not be complete... (Look under 'Discography')
