The MarsCon 2008 Dementia Track Fund Raiser CD!

As we did last year, the funds raised by this album will go to help cover the hotel room costs of our comedy music performers who are paying their own way to travel out to the Twin Cities to perform at MarsCon 2008 (Feb 29 thru Mar 2) for all of the wonderful con patrons there. However, the differences between last year's collection and this year's are pretty darn nifty.

First of all, this year's collection is a TWO CD set! Over 2 HOURS of music and fun stuff!

Second of all, the collection is comprised mostly of LIVE CONCERT TRACKS FROM MARSCON 2007, featuring DJ Particle, Rob Balder, Sudden Death, The Gothsicles, Wyngarde, Eric Coleman, Possible Oscar, Worm Quartet, the great Luke Ski, Ookla The Mok, Beth Kinderman, Art Paul Schlosser, Carrie Dahlby, Power Salad, & Carla Ulbrich! It's like living the whole weekend all over again, but without all the snow, the hangover, and cheese whiz to clean up.

Third of all, the collection has TWO NEW STUDIO BONUS TRACKS by MarsCon 2008's Music Guest Of Honor, HOT WAFFLES, and newcomers to the con, the nationally renowned PAUL & STORM!

Fourth of all, when you order the 2-CD set online (which will be snail mailed to you), you'll get to enjoy the collection right away, because you'll be given a secure link to DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE 2-CD SONG COLLECTION AS 128k MP3s! You want instant gratification? You got it!

The price is $22.25 ($20 for the 2-CD set, plus $2.25 shipping). To order, follow this link:

* "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. For more information on Art Paul, visit http://www.myspace.com/artpaulschlosser .
