Manic Mondays Returns
On Saturday night during his performance at Con On The Cob Devo Spice surprised the room by announcing the return of his podcast Manic Mondays and performing the first new episode in 2 years right there during his set. Click here to listen to the new episode.

Manic Mondays is a 15-20 minute comedy show which is released late Sunday night so it's ready for your commute back to work Monday mornings. The show features funny songs, a weekly segment called News Of The Stupid, and other comedy bits as Devo thinks of them. The new version of the show features a new theme song by Possible Oscar.

You can listen to the show online at Devo Spice's web site, or you can get the show automatically via podcast using this RSS feed: feeds.feedburner.com/manicmondays

For more information on the show visit ManicMondays.net. (A new web site is in the works.)

2011-08-05 the great Luke Ski
Luke Ski says "BE AMUSED BY ME"!!!

It's the great Luke Ski's 10th full length comedy music album, "Be Amused By Me". Whether that title is a request or a demand has yet to be determined. What we are sure of is that this CD contains songs about Disney buying Marvel, Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, Kevin Smith movies, Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Anime, Bruce Campbell, Serenity, Red Dwarf, his 3rd holiday fandom opus "It's A Fanboy Christmas 3", and "Snoopy The Dogg", the most requested song of the year thus far on both "The Dr. Demento Show" and "The Mad Music Dementia Top 20". Featuring Carrie Dahlby, Devo Spice, Insane Ian, Flat 29, TV's Kyle, and many other friends from the FuMP, it's an album Carrie Dahlby said to me is "probably your best CD since Unconventional". Who am I to argue? Click here to order the MP3 version for $9.99, and click here to order the CD with instant MP3 download for $14.00 plus shipping.

The Funny Music Podcast Nominated For A Parsec!
The FuMP is pleased to announce that our companion podcast The Funny Music Podcast has been nominated for a Parsec award!

The FuMPCast, as we like to call it, is a weekly show hosted by Devo Spice and the great Luke Ski which discusses the two most recent songs posted to The FuMP, as well as funny music news, and user feedback. Whenever possible the artists who posted the songs are invited on for live interviews to discuss their work. The show is broadcast live every Thursday night on Dementia Radio at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Pacific. The show is then served as a podcast, or users can listen directly from our web site.

The Parsec Awards celebrate excellence in podcasting and in 2009 added the music category which The FuMP won! We are thrilled that The FuMPCast has now been nominated. Good luck to all the other nominees, which are The GeekSpin, Radio Free Hipster, and Renaissance Festival Podcast.

Stupid Cowboy Thing Volume 1, GRANDMOTHER! Now Available For Pre-Order
Cirque du So What's long delayed follow up album is now available for pre-order! Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 1: GRANDMOTHER! features an hour of hilarious sketches, phony commercials, and bizarre music. The Guess The Context series continues unashamedly, and of course there are appearances by The Tile Guy. There's also a really inappropriate song that you will find yourself singing at all the wrong times because it will get stuck in your head and will surface and the most inopportune times.

Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 1: GRANDMOTHER! is now available as a pre-order. If you pre-order the CD now you will receive the digital version of the album immediately so you don't have to wait to hear it. Additionally, you will receive a special digital bonus CD with another 40 minutes of sketches, live performance recordings, and outtakes. Once the physical CD of Stupid Cowboy Thing ships the bonus material will no longer be available, so order now!
