A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do… and that means listen to some commentary!

iTunes now has an album called Commentary! The Musical, based on Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, with interviews including Neil Patrick Harris, Joss Whedon, Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Nathan Fillion-Whedon (that last hyphenate was a joke).

Here’s what Whedon had to say about the DVD version of the commentary, which apparently came out last month:

“Commentary! The Musical” is the most painstaking and exhausting piece of whimsy I have ever mistaken for a good idea. It has nearly twice as much music as Dr. Horrible itself — since you can’t really talk that much during a commentary musical or it sounds like a regular commentary. (Which we also have, with the stars and writers, plus making-of’s, ELE applications, and a few items left lying around by a notorious Bunny…) I can say without hesitation that I hesitate to say it’s great. And by great I mean ridiculous. It’s sophomoric, solopsistic, silly and the most fun I’ve had being exhausted since the fabled Mushortio itself. And everyone sings beautifully. Which enrages me. I a little bit hate my friends now.

If you haven’t watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, a tongue-in-cheek look at a struggling supervillain in love, do yourself a favor and find yourself a copy of the DVD (the online sensation is apparently no longer available on Hulu). The entire album on iTunes costs $9.99 — individual tracks can be purchased for 99 cents each.
