MarsCon is over. Let the post-con depression begin. Actaully, no! Let the reveling in just how incredibly AWESOME it was begin! Woo hoo! By the way, if you attended MarsCon and wanted to give the con your feedback, the survey has been posted: http://marscon.org/2009/survey/index.php So let them know what you think and help make next year even better! You dementia fans be sure to tell them which performers you'd like to see return, and which acts that have never performed at MarsCon before you'd like to see there! The 2009 Dementia Track already has two confirmed first-time-MarsCon performers, Music Guest Of Honor: Wally Pleasant, and nerdcore rap star MC LARS! Yeaaah boyeee!

* "EVERYBODY GET WEIRD! (an Art Paul Schlosser remix)"
It's the newest Luke Ski track at the Funny Music Project! Download it right now from http://www.thefump.com !
For over 20 years, eccentric kazoo aficionado Art Paul Schlosser has been performing music on his acoustic guitar on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. He's released over 20 albums filled with his songs, jokes, and other strange musings. Recently he asked other artists to record cover versions of his songs and then released them all on a 'Tribute' album, which went on to win a 2007 Madison Area Music Award for Best Compilation Album. Now a regular contributor at the FuMP Sideshow, Art has asked his fellow artists to submit remixes of his songs to him for a forthcoming follow-up 'Remix' album. This track is my submission to that, based on several of his bizarre spoken pieces, titled "Everybody Get Weird!" Kazoo solo by yours truly.
