Sorry for the delay in updates, folks. I've had a hard few months. Here's a few things that have happened that you may want to know about:<br /><br />-="Weezard" finally released!=-<br /><br />That's right! After many MANY delayed months, "Weezard" is finally out now! The digital download is available as we speak at <a href='http://insaneian.bandcamp.com' rel='nofollow'>http://insaneian.bandcamp.com</a> and the physical copies should be shipping soon. The EP was released on Nov 11 (the same day the last Harry Potter movie hit DVD & Blu-Ray) and if you pre-ordered it and have not yet rec'd your digital copy, please let me know! Your name may have slipped through the cracks and I will check the records and try to get it out to you ASAP. The physical copies saw a bit of a holiday delay (as well as just normal delays...oy) but should be out soon. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience!<br /><br />-=New Song! "Moves Like Frogger"=-<br /><br />Also on the Bandcamp page, you may notice a new single! "Moves Like Frogger" is the latest track from the perpetually forthcoming "Grand Theft Audio". It's also available on <a href='http://www.thefump.com' rel='nofollow'>http://www.thefump.com</a> and iTunes. There's a performance video up on YouTube, with a full live action music video coming soon! Go, download and comment, and be sure to request it for the Dr Demento show at <a href='http://www.drdemento.com/request' rel='nofollow'>http://www.drdemento.com/request</a><br /><br />-=Album Status=-<br /><br />Speaking of "Grand Theft Audio", I'm sure you're wondering when THAT will see the light of day. Well, with any luck...it will be not to long after the beginning of the new year. While I had originally intended it to be this holiday season, circumstances beyond my control involving shooting schedules, recording schedules, band member issues, film crews and all sort of other delays have...well, delayed it. It's still coming, though, and your patience is once again appreciated. For those who pre-ordered, you will have some great incentives coming your way soon, and more videos to check out before the whole shebang hits. The audio portion is just about one song away from done, and the video will hopfully follow shortly after, so that we can get the thing printed pressed and into your eyes and earholes!<br /><br />"Songs For Superheroes" has suffered a similar fate, but may be more towards the middle of next year. Stay tuned for details there.<br /><br />-=The Dr. Demento Funny 25=-<br /><br />Speaking of Superheroes, as we wrap up the year, it looks like "Super-Powers" will be in the Top Ten for 2011! Thank you to all who requested it to keep it so high in the rankings! Also in the top two are "Snoopy the Dogg" by the great Luke Ski (featuring cameos by Insane Ian and The Stacey), as well as "If I Could Be Weird Al" by the Moneyshot Cosmonauts (who this time around, also includes Insane Ian!). In that respect, I'm technically part of three songs in the Top Ten this year! To keep those songs in the top spot, it couldn't hurt to request them all again (and again and again)! If you're requesting "Super-Powers", PLEASE also request "Snoopy the Dogg" and "If I Could Be Weird Al", as those songs truly deserve the top slot (especially Luke's song). Thank you ALL for your support!<br /><br />-=Site Updates=-<br /><br />If you haven't been to InsaneIan.com lately, there have been a TON of updates, including Facebook integration ("like" buttons) and a whole new review section! Here I've collected the best reviews I've received on the web, and I think there's some really great blurbs there. If you find anything not working on the site, or if you have a review you'd like to submit for the page, just drop me a line and i'll try to include it!<br /><br />-=Other News=-<br /><br />I don't often get into personal notes here in the updates, but honestly...things have been tough in the II camp. In November, my producer/backing band and I parted ways temporarily, as he is moving to another state, putting new Insane ian tracks and productions on a slight hold. Currently, I'm unemployed and my car is no longer working, making finding work (or getting to a job if i get one) extremely difficult. Seeing as I need money to repair the car, and I need a job to get money, I'm kind of stuck in a perpetual cycle of uncertainty. If you would be so kind as to recommend some CDs or other stuff I sell to your friends, enemies, total strangers and the like for their holiday shopping, or purchase some yourselves, that would be greatly appreciated, as every little bit helps right now. I should be having some bundle deals on CDs on my site soon, and while my stuff can be found on numerous sites, the best way to help me out is to order directly from either <a href='http://www.InsaneIan.com' rel='nofollow'>http://www.InsaneIan.com</a> or <a href='http://insaneian.bandcamp.com' rel='nofollow'>http://insaneian.bandcamp.com</a> Thanks for your help!<br /><br />That's all for this time. Hopefully there won't be as big a space between this and the next update, though with band separation it's a bit uncertain. Never fear though...I'll always try to find a way to keep entertaining, I just may get help from other sources. Thanks again for all your love and support, it means the world to me. Happy Holidays! Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:00:00 -0500 C.O.G.'s last show of the year! by Consortium Of Genius http://www.thefump.com/blog_entry.php?id=34&blog=2394 <img src="http://chewbacchus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Best-BW-Chewbacchus.jpg" height="25%" width="25%" align="left">When I resigned to spend the rest of the year writing and recording, I just KNEW something like this might happen! Despite my best efforts to avoid booking anything else in 2011, the Consortium of Genius's presence has been requested by our friends in the <a href="http://chewbacchus.org/" rel="nofollow">Krewe of Chewbacchus</a>, a marching krewe that started earlier this year to great acclaim and success. Their home, <a href="http://www.3ringcircusproductions.com/" rel="nofollow">the Big Top</a> art gallery, is in financial trouble (the price of being so nifty?) and the Krewe is staging their December party, entitled '<a href="http://chewbacchus.org/event/christmas-in-tatooine/" rel="nofollow">Christmas in Tatooine</a>', as a fundraising benefit to try to save the place! If you live near New Orleans, you should be there!!! Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:00:00 -0500 Snoopy, Muppets, just another Monday. :) Luke Ski Update 11/28/11 by the great Luke Ski http://www.thefump.com/blog_entry.php?id=2&blog=2393 <img src="http://badrapport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/SnoopyAd4.jpg" /><br />Lots of good news this week. First of all, "Snoopy The Dogg" was #3 on Dr. Demento's Top Ten for November 2011! So according to the unofficial fan tallies, it's still the most requested song of 2011 on "The Dr. Demento Show", meaning it has a high chance of being at the top of Dr. Demento's Funny 25 of 2011! Thank you so much to all of you for your continued support! It really means the world to me. You can still put in a weekly request for it at <a href='http://drdemento.com/request'>http://drdemento.com/request</a> . It's also looking very likely that my Monty Python tribute "WalkingSilly" will be on the Funny 25 as well, so thank you all as well for liking my Spam! ;)<br /><br />In other good news, I saw "The Muppets" three times within the first 48 hours of it's release. It's a wonderful movie, and I hope you all will go out and see it too, if for no other reason than so it can beat "Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part 1" at the box office. Remember, if you want to take a walk down a musical Muppet memory lane, go listen to Episode #53 of my podcast "Bad Rapport", which is our epic-sized MUPPETS SPECIAL at <a href='http://badrapport.com'>http://badrapport.com</a> .<br /><br />Today is Cyber Monday, where every company in the world is bombarding you with online promotions trying to get you to go to their websites and spend money on their products. That's funny, for me, I call that EVERY Monday. :P So me trying to get you to go to my website today and buy stuff would pretty much be me crying 'Wolf!'. So, yeah. I have a website. I sell stuff at it. It's there for your virtual browsing, your Windows shopping, your insert another pun here whatever. It is however worth pointing out that the Free MP3 of the Week at <a href='http://www.thegreatlukeski.com'>http://www.thegreatlukeski.com</a> is the original "IT'S A FANBOY CHRISTMAS", so please tell your friends about it via the online social media of your choice. :) ~ Luke Ski, 11-28-2011<br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />HEADLINES:<br /><br />- "SNOOPY THE DOGG"<br />is still the #1 song of 2011 (so far) on "the Dr. Demento Show"!<br />PLEASE REQUEST IT AGAIN AT: <a href='http://drdemento.com/request'>http://drdemento.com/request</a><br /><br />- BAD RAPPORT MUPPETS SPECIAL!!!<br />Luke & Carrie cover the history of Henson & the Muppets, and play 90<br />minutes of Muppet music!

Please join us in wishing him the best of luck on his new adventure.</p><p>This doesn&#8217;t mean the end of Possible Oscar. Obviously we need to figure out what to do about our lineup for live performances, but since nothing is booked on that front for a while, we have some time. As far as recording goes, the magic of the Internet will allow Nathan to still participate in that. We have several songs in various states of readiness for the next album. Look for Nathan&#8217;s unmistakable presence on new tracks in 2012.</p><p>And now we begin our annual holiday hibernation. Expect only sporadic activity for the remainder of 2011.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:00:00 -0500 What indeed is going on? by Consortium Of Genius http://www.thefump.com/blog_entry.php?id=34&blog=2382 <img src="http://www.ltofbr.com/images/tower.jpg" align="left">Outside the C.O.G. Secret Lab, things have been relatively quiet and will probably remain so for the rest of the year (barring any surprises.) As restless as it's getting me, I'm not planning any more live shows for November or December. That's not to say that things haven't been interesting, complex and/or stimulating! We're working on a whole slew of breakthroughs small and large. <br /><br />For starters, amazing music is being invented in our weekly symposiums! Practically every member of the group is contributing something, and it's really stimulating to be involved in the creation of so many disparate types of music. I can't wait to show you all what we're brewing up, but of course that will probably be next year...<br /><br />I'm also planning great technical progress in areas of sound, lighting, and stagecraft that I predict will dwarf the great advances we made in 2011 (ask anyone who saw our biggest shows in 2011!)<br /><br />For now, a great party is planned for tomorrow night - Friday November 18 - at midnight at <a href="http://www.ltag.com/" rel="nofollow">Laser Tag in Metairie</a>. We of the C.O.G. will again be taking on the WORLD! Hope to see you there... Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:00:00 -0500
