    Everything by Wendy Carlos seems to be out of print, which is just terrible.

    $275 in Oakland last weekend.
    I saw one on Discogs for about $40 recently.

    I passed up on a copy of that record for $5 at a recent record convention.

    Congratulations Al! This is the rare case when it truly couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    By the way, I was wearing this t-shirt today:

    ...which is why he won. You're welcome, Al.

    By the way, Al is a year older than me, and looks a hell of a lot better than my fat, greying, balding self.

    "Electric Shaver" is from 'Sabrina: The Animated Series'. "Polkamon" had to be omitted from the Rarities disc for legal reasons, I think.

    Wendy Carlos herself seems to be completely M.I.A. Her website hasn't been updated in years.

    Hoping she's well!

    As a lifelong Al fan since his "Another One Rides The Bus" days, I have yet to actually listen to the Yankovic/Carlos 'Peter & The Wolf' album. I assumed it was just Al narrating and no singing. Is this correct? I can't find it anywhere on YouTube except for the album's introduction track.

    That's the way I remember it. When it came out, I bought it, listened to it once, and then took it back. That was back when you could return cassette tapes after they were opened.

    Too bad he hasn't reissued his albums individually on vinyl yet.
