My April Fool’s Day joke for this year: Luke Ski announces “Scud” tribute concept album

Luke Ski has announced his new forthcoming "Scud: The Disposable Assassin" concept album, I Am The Scud, in honor of the independent comic book's 20th Anniversary on January 29, 2014. "Yes, it's being released late after the actual anniversary, but what good tribute concept album ever comes out when it was planned to?" said Luke as he carefully dusted his Scud action figure. This album will feature 24 tracks, one about each issue of the classic independent comic book, finishing with Luke's 2008 song "Scud" remixed to include his cover of the original 'Scud Rap' between the bridge and the third verse.

"Now I know what you're all going to say," Luke interjected as he turned on the Sega Saturn game. "What about the Drywall: Unzipped one-shot? That special issue has crucial plot points from the main storyline. Will that comic get it's own track? Well, I'm going to see if I can sneak that song onto the album by making it a hidden track, which you can only find by rewinding from the start point of Track 14, putting the track in its proper place chronologically between issues #13 and #14. But you all knew that. Surely you all have read the Scud Omnibus by now after me talking about how awesome it is after all these years. If you haven't, that would mean that I have completely failed as a promoter of awesome things, which, just can't be true... Can it?" Luke then curled up into a fetal position, rocking, drooling, and mumbling something about 'Dr. Lazer Rage'.
