Luke Ski Update – July 7th, 2009

If you have been to the Wisconsin Dells, you know. If you have not been to the Wisconsin Dells, hopefully by the end of this rap song, you will want to go and experience it for yourself. For decades, this region of the Dairy State has lured in millions of visitors with it's combination of natural pristine awe-inspiring beauty, going hand-in-hand with the most crass kitschy touristy commercialism you've ever seen. Much like Route 66, it is true Americana at it's best, and I've been in love with the place since childhood, and this song is my love letter to it. In early June 2008, a weekend of torrential rainfall caused man-made Lake Delton to breach a shoreline near the Wisconsin river, which emptied it only a few hours, just before their busy summer season was supposed to begin. This year Lake Delton is back, and I've decided to use all my powers of internet promotion to get as many people as I can to go visit the Dells again, or for the first time. Links to all of the places mentioned are on the Lyrics page. [Note: I was not paid to endorse any of all of these real places mentioned in this song, but I'd gladly accept freebies from any of them, wink wink.] So whether you're there for the 150 years of history and natural beauty, or for the 200 waterslides and souvenir shops, a trip to the Wisconsin Dells will be a great time that will make you say, 'Yep, I can see why Luke Ski loves this place'. Background music by myself and Bob 'Clark W. Griswold' Emmett of Project Sisyphus, featuring chorus vocals by Carrie 'Are we there yet?' Dahlby. Cameo by Sara 'No, I will not elope to the Dells with you' Trice.

Hi, Luke Ski here, and today I present a song by my brother Michael and his band Whatfor, comprised of Michael Sienkowski, Elliott Kozel, and Phil Mahlstadt, sometimes known as Sleeping In The Aviary. Once while at a gig while another band was plaing an up-tempo number, Michael observed a sad gothy kid up against a wall, who was bopping to the music while maintaining his morose pose. Michael turned to one of his band mates and said, "He doesn't know if wants to cry or dance. I guess he'll just 'crance'." That was this inspiration for this ginchy Liverpudlian jam for all you emo kids on the dance floor. So everybody join Whatfor, and fake it 'til you make it with THE CRANCE!
