Pimp Your Stuff Thursday

[filkertom]

Right now I've got two primary things to hype. First, of course, is Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA. I'll be all over the dang place, and I'll put my schedule up here again tomorrow. Also in attendance: Leslie Fish, the reunited-one-time-only Brobdingnagian Bards, almost everybody from both RiffTrax and Cinematic Titanic, Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell from Quantum Leap, and Larry Hagman, Bill Daly, and the still-hot-as-hell Barbara Eden from I Dream Of Jeannie.

Second is the pimpyourstuff group itself. I put it out there for everybody to use, gang -- please do feel free. I hope it helps, but we'll never know if I'm the only one who posts there. ;)

Ready... set... Pimp Your Stuff!

Not totally my stuff...but Luke was kind enough to ask me to be a part of it. This is Luke's awesome tribute to Mel Brooks...still up on the FuMP main page (posted this past Sunday).



My new song will be up on the 10th...Also, that same day I'll be appearing with Devo Spice & Rob Balder in DC at Intervention (http://interventioncon.com). 2 Hour FuMP concert from 5 to 7 that day (Friday). Should be awesome.

Or to put it another way... ;)

WHAT'S LUKE PLUGGING NOW?:

- "IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING"
by the great Luke Ski, featuring
Devo Spice, Insane Ian, and Bud Sharpe!
Download the MP3 for free now at
The Funny Music Project:

The short short version: Run DMC covers the career of Mel Brooks.

The short version: Recently on my podcast Bad Rapport, I read off a list of
11 song parody ideas I had come up with over the past 16 years that I never
got around to doing. I told the listeners to leave comments for the episode
telling me which ones they think I should do, and titled the episode "U
Pick Luke's FuMP"! In the following 2 episodes their feedback was tabulated
and the top 3 song ideas were established. Of those three, this song was
the least expensive to produce. Yep, I'm kinda broke, I got a wedding next
month to help pay for.

"It's Good To Be The King" is a parody of the song "Down With The King" by
Run DMC, featuring Pete Rock and CL Smooth, and covers the career of comedy
legend Mel Brooks. That's 13 movies, plus his work on albums, TV, and
Broadway, from 1961 to the present. And since Run DMC had guest vocalists
on the original, it's only fitting for me to enlist the help of fellow
Brooks fans Devo Spice, Insane Ian, and Bud Sharpe of Possible Oscar to
give my creation liiiiiife!, as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein would say. Music
and mastering by Jam Master Jared Ringold.

The long version: Listen to Episodes 17, 18, and 19 of Luke and Carrie's
Bad Rapport (http://www.badrapport.com). So pass the beans, and excuse me
while I whip this out.

Please go listen to and/or download the song at http://www.thefump.com ,
and if you like it, please leave a comment there for me.


- "TWITTER TWEETIN'" by Carrie Dahlby!

Also new at the FuMP dot com this week is Carrie's parody of "Rockin'
Robin" by Bobby Day about Twitter, and it features cameos by 16 different
Twitter-using comedy music acts, including me, Luke Ski. So go check it
out, and if you dig it, leave comments for Carrie as well.

- THE FUNNY MUSIC PODCAST
http://feeds.feedburner.com/funnymusic

Devo Spice and Luke Ski interview the artists who posted songs on the FuMP
the past week. Our latest episode is Episode 11, featuring Dino-Mike and
ShoEboX of Worm Quartet.


Thanks Ian! :D

I just signed up to do the Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes at the Detroit Zoo again this year: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/StepOut/MichiganArea?px=4273789&pg=personal&fr_id=7291
Sponsors will encourage me to get off my butt and start walking more regularly (assuming the summer heat lets up!).

I do freelance wordsmithing. This includes writing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry across many topics; plus editing, proofreading, and stuff on that end of the spectrum as well.

Next up is the September Poetry Fishbowl in my LJ on Tuesday, Sept. 7; this month's topic will be "DNA, genetic engineering, and evolution." Participation is free and everyone is encouraged to give me prompts. You can sponsor poetry for publication if you see a thumbnail for something you like.

You can also follow my writing/editing activities over on my Facebook fan page:

The new DucKon (http://www.duckon.org/) website is up and running. So I'd like to pimp that out. To anyone who went, I'm looking for pictures we can post and/or video clips we can link to showing what a great time you had.
