Until I found out about "Popular Problems," this was the most exciting music news for me so far this year: my "close personal friend" (hey, I'm on his mailing list) "Weird Al" Yankovic released his latest (and probably last) studio album "Mandatory Fun," on July 15, and it debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart! First comedy album to reach #1 since 1963, and first comedy album EVER to debut at #1. Also, it's a really good album, and I went to the signing at Amoeba Records in Hollywood and got hugged by Al.
