Every December, a ton of “Best of the Year” lists pop up everywhere, and they can get old pretty quick, but I’m digging the “Best of the Decade” lists that I’ve been seeing lately. So I figured I’d jump on that particular bandwagon, and so I now present my list of some of [...]

This is a new, hopefully recurring feature of alannoah.com, where I will feature a few songs that I love in specific categories. Hopefully these lists will encourage some debate in the comments (if, you know, you guys actually comment on them…) I tried to stay away from overly obvious songs that *everyone* knows [...]

I love me some Bon Jovi, this is not news to most people who know me. I own their entire catalog, I’ve seen them in concert a few times, and I just really enjoy their music. So it was with great anticipation that I got my hands on their latest album, The Circle.

The new Flight of the Conchords CD is out, and as a huge fan of Brett and Jermaine, of course I picked it up in a hurry. I’ve listened to the album twice, and it’s definitely funny and fantastic and catchy. So far I don’t think I’m as in love with it as [...]

This time, “Weird Al” does a send-up of all those “Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer is so tough that he can make lemons out of lemonade” sorta lists. Only it’s a song, and a video, and it’s about the late Charles Nelson Reilly. Who? He was “jose Chung” in that one really awesome episode [...]

love these – Weird Al has released another new song and video of of his upcoming album. He’s apparently going to release a couple more songs this way as well – I’m guessing that they, like this song and “Craigslist” will be his original songs, i.e. not specific song parodies. Either way, I’m always happy [...]

OJ Simpson will not be remembered as a great football player.
Phil Spector will not be remembered as an amazing music producer.
Michael Jackson *will* be remembered as an amazing musician.
Now, sure, Spector was convicted, and even though Simpson was acquitted of the murder charge, he will always be guilty in the court of public opinion. [...]

Weird Al has released another song from his upcoming album,and this time you can either buy the mp3 or watch the video online. Behold “Craigslist”:
It’s not a direct parody, but it’s in the style of The Doors (with Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek playing on the track) and it obviously spoofs the infamous site craigslist. [...]

That’s my adorable cousin Maddyson (pronounced “Madison”). We were hamming it up for that picture, sorry if it’s a little scary… Today is her fifth birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADDY!
Now of course I love her because she’s family, but she is clearly a little girl after my own heart. Just listen [...]

“Weird Al” Yankovic has a new song! You can buy it on iTunes right now – go this very second! It’s called “Whatever You Like” and it is a parody of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like.” The same name is a first for the parody king, but you won’t be confused when you [...]
