Once again Commissioner J.P. Tuesday (a.k.a. Jered Perez) put together another virtual battle royal pitting all of the guests of the MarsCon Dementia Track against each other, even a couple of the fictional ones! In front of a live audience and with commentary by J.P. and Duke 'Flyboy' DuJour, (a.k.a. Luke Ski), let's get right to the action!

On Star Wars day this year (May the 4th be with you), I finally uploaded the composite music video for "Grease Wars" I made for Dragon*Con 2006, which combined both elements of the live performance done at MarsCon 2005 (including the live concert audio), and the nearly-completed music video I made at Ed Debevic's in Lombard, IL. I know the video quality isn't the best, but let's face it, I'm never going to have the time to put together a slick HD version of this. So please do me a favor, and the next time you want to share "Grease Wars" with someone online, give them the link to this video, and not some other rando person's boosted trisected unauthorized YouTube link. Thanks so much, and enjoy the video. 🙂

Donald Coleman, a.k.a. Dr. Don, has done it again! A whiz at making great fanvids quickly, Don whipped together a fanvid for my Mel Brooks tribute song "It's Good To Be The King" using clips from all of Mel Brooks movies! Excellent work Don! Check out the video here:

I was interviewed by my good friend Grant Baciocco of the comedy band "Throwing Toasters", the historical hysterical podcast "The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd", and many other creative endeavors. His podcast "The GrantCast" features 15-minute interviews (which in my case became 33 minutes) with people he knows in the creative community. Check it out here:

I recently lent my voice and improvisational skills to Tony Goldmark's theme park review web series "Some Jerk With A Camera". More specifically, my Gilbert Gottfried impression, which was utilized during part two of his 3-part review of the "Haunted Mansion" movie. It shows up at the 11 minute and 17 minute markers of the video, but the whole thing is hilarious, as are all the videos in Tony's series. So check it out, foolish mortals!

• LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT

One does not simply recap MarsCon in a podcast that lasts less than 4 hours long… Well, maybe they do on other podcasts, but not us. I simply don’t have the time to edit things down, because I’m far too busy secretly writing song parodies and coordinating the creation of elaborate costumes, wigs, and props, so as to surprise said MarsCon audiences with such things, as Carrie and I are so pictured here. The primary target of this “Mighty Magiswords” related surprise of course was show-creator and Prohyas-voicer “TV’s Kyle” Carrozza and his epic wife Lindsay Smith, who join us on this podcast to talk all about the big she-bang that went down. The rest of the episode is mostly just Carrie and I recapping MarsCon 2016, inexplicably recorded on holidays again, including Easter, April Fool’s Day, and we’re posting it today which is Dr. Demento’s birthday, which isn’t a national holiday, but should be.

The comedy & music tracks in this episode are by the great Luke Ski featuring Carrie Dahlby, TV’s Kyle, Power Salad, The Frantics, The Gothsicles, Jamie Kennedy & Stu Stone featuring Bob Saget, Tenacious D, Dave Cox, The Consortium Of Genius, Tom Smith, MC Lars, Da Yoopers, Katie Goodman & Soren Kisiel, Melissa Rauch, The Arrogant Worms, and Cobra Starship.

Oh, and one more thing, PLEASE LEAVE US COMMENTS!!! Our past 2 episodes had zero comments, so please leave us some kind of comment so we know that anybody out there is actually listening to this, which I realize in and of itself is a long shot. In any case, hope you enjoy listening to the show as you simply walk into Mordor. Episode Length: 4:18:30

I just finished fully updating http://marscondementia.com with all the details on this year's convention, and the annual Fund Raiser album. So rather than repeat myself here, I'll just direct you to the MarsCon Dementia Track website where you can get all the currently available information, which will be continually updated as plans gets finalized.

The main things you need to know are (1.) I am the MarsCon 2016 Music Guest Of Honor, by special request of the Con Chair, Jolene Hardy. (2.) The 6th Annual Logan Awards are taking place there. (3.) Other performers booked so far: Devo Spice, TV's Kyle featuring Lindzilla, Insane Ian, Power Salad, Dino-Mike, & Steve Goodie. (4.) We're looking for volunteers to help work Table 27, so if you'd like a free weekend badge, email me at thegreatlukeski@gmail.com . Otherwise pre-reg is $50 until Jan. 31, after that it will be $65 at the door. And finally (5.)...

The MarsCon 2016 Dementia Track Fund Raiser MP3 album is now available for purchase. For just $20.00, you'll get nearly 4 hours of live concert excerpts from MarsCon 2015. The proceeds go to pay for the hotel rooms of all the non-Guest-of-Honor performers of MarsCon 2016.

To hear a FREE 30-MINUTE PREVIEW of the album, listen to or download Episode 450 of Devo Spice's podcast "Manic Mondays": Link: http://www.manicmondays.net
