"DEMENTIA RADIO" SEEKS COMMITTED VOLUNTEERS FOR ROOM PARTY
The folks of Dementia Radio .org are considering doing another room party celebrating their station, it's DJs, and the comedy music it plays. However, they are not going to be able to do it without volunteers to help run the party. People interested should be familiar with Dementia Radio .org, and also need to actually commit their time and effort to this. No saying 'sure I'll help' and then flaking out on them, leaving them high and dry with no help. You need to be actually willing to help and commit your time and effort? Have I hammered the point home hard enough? I have? Good. Interested parties should email me atthegreatlukeski@gmail.com . Thanks.

Currently pre-registration for a weekend badge for MarsCon 2014 is $50.00. The price will increase on February 1st, so get your badge before Midnight on January 31st, 2014

, and get psyched for our returning main stage performers, the “Smogberry Trees” documentary crew, Dr. Demento, and Music Guest Of Honor Henry Phillips at MarsCon 2014!

- "WHEN YOU WISH UPON A DEATH STAR" HITS #3,
AND "YOU DON'T KNOW JACK" BY TONY GOLDMARK HITS #21
ON DR. DEMENTO'S FUNNY 25 OF 2013!

Thank you all so much to all of you fans who have been requesting "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" all year and pushed it up to #3! That last push got me above Lonely Island's YOLO (you only LOSE once? Oh, snap!jk, they rule 🙂 ). Also very happy that Tony Goldark's cover of my song "You Don't Know Jack" from "Worst Tribute Ever" hit #21 on the Countdown, so thanks again Tony, and Carrie for getting that whole thing started! 😀

- "SURFIN BIRD (FAMILY GUY REMIX)" MASH-UP BY LUKE SKI
PLAYED ON THE DR. DEMENTO SHOW!
Listen to the show: http://drdemento.com/online.html

I took all the "Surfin' Bird" related clips from the "Family Guy" episode "I Dream Of Jesus" and mashed them up with the original song by the Trashmen. I sent it to Dr. Demento, and he played it on last week's show! Final mix by Chris Mezzolesta, who has known that the bird is the word a lot longer than I have. 🙂

- LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT
Episode #096 - Hearing Double
http://badrapport.com

The holiday season is winding down, so what better way to spend New Year’s Eve than by listening to a tinny podcast recorded on a Nexus 7 tablet rather than the high quality Zoom H2 because Luke is an idiot and forgot to bring the good recorder? If you can handle that, then you’ll be able to get caught up on what Luke & Carrie have been up to over the last month, including how they spent their respective Christmases. There’s also a couple of ignorance stories, one from Luke about his only holiday caricature gig this year, and one from Carrie about her recent trip to the dentist. And Carrie gives us her review of the new Disney full-length animated feature “Frozen”, which she saw earlier that day. Our comedy music tracks start off with a mash-up Luke Ski edited and Chris Mezzolesta mixed, so kick in the new year with these jams by The Trashmen, Pee Wee Herman, The WWF Superstars, Elwood Blues & Wilson Pickett, Family Guy, Big Daddy, the cast of Shrek 2, the Toy Dolls, and the Cadets. Thanks again for staying with us through 2013, and we look forward to bringing you more hopefully-above-tolerable episodes in 2014! Episode length: 2:04:48

- LUKE DRAWS "PERRY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" PHINEAUS & FERB MASH-UP ART
http://artbylukeski.deviantart.com/art/The-Perry-Horror-Picture-Show-421002367

My friends "Blasted Bill" and Moonbeam have a recurring segment on their podcast "The Pod Of Destiny" (www.dementiaradio.org/podod) where they pick a group of characters from some TV show or movie, and then discuss who they would each play in a shadowcast of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". On Episode 49 (http://www.dementiaradio.org/podod/?p=300), they set their sights on the cast of "Phineas and Ferb". I enjoyed their discussion so much, that I spent the past few weeks working on this piece of fan art for them. While I didn't go along with all of their suggestions, I think my end result is pretty good. (And yes, I know Richard O'Brien is the voice of Lawrence Fletcher, therefore it would have made a lot of sense to make him Riff Raff.) I hope all you Rocky Horror & Phineas and Ferb fans out there enjoy it. 🙂
