Devo Spice and Jared Ringold of Possible Oscar brainstormed a groovy template that can be used over & over to generate videos for the FuMP tunes, and they’re rendered directly to YouTube. So keep your eye on http://www.youtube.com/user/FunnyMusicProject as it grows and re-grows with more & more funny! Please link to it, mention it on your blogs, and by all means partake in all the funny! WooHoo!

WOW! http://powersalad.com/2012/03/14/oh-right-new-cirque-du-so-what-album-too-wow/ http://powersalad.com/2012/03/14/oh-right-new-cirque-du-so-what-album-too-wow/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:26:15 +0000 powersalad http://powersalad.com/?p=162 Hey, nearly forgot! The other project I’m involved with, sketch comedy group Cirque du So What?, has also released its new album at Marscon 2012…it’s called “Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 2: Additional Squid” and contains over an hour of funny, strange, and often obscene comedy. Check it out at www.CirqueDuSoWhat.net or www.BaconNipples.com!

This year’s Dementia track was fantastic, with the Music GoH the Consortium of Genius, otherwise known as The COG (“COOOOOOOOOOG!”), holding forth with a tremendous chunk of science rock and a ton of fun. Saw many friends again, both performing and fan, and met/hung with TV’s Kyle and his goil Lindsay. Of course the Dementia Radio crew was well represented, and much time was spent brainstorming ways to get the station where more people can enjoy the Dementia alternative!

My digitized self lasted quite a few rounds in the 2012 Dementia Smackdown Battle Royal devised by Jered “Mayor JP Tuesday” Perez, who also took the video of my and everyone’s comedy concerts on the main stage.

Another tradition was upheld when nearly everyone dispatched to Khan’s Mongolian Barbecue in Minneapolis following the con on Sunday, and there was much rejoicing. (yaaaaay)

Also, Cirque du So What? came together yet again for another wild show, performing many sketches off the new album “Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 2: Additional Squid”. Yes, there was a bit of tile.

Here is the video of my set on Sunday afternoon, courtesy of Jered Perez. Lots of dry mouth, so please excuse the first few notes and the lack of breath on “My Cat Is Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner”. :-)

So thanks are due to the great Luke Ski for making it happen, JayeKiity aka DJ Phoenix for loaning me her guitar, Davroz for taking many promo photos of Cirque du So What?, and everyone for liking what I do. Cheers!
