'MARC WITH A C: LIVE AT MARSCON 2020!'
ALBUM AVAILABLE UNTIL THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 14TH!



Yes! The actual full title of the album is "Marc With a C's ENTIRE 2020 tour - at MarsCon, Minnesota, 2020!" It was available for a limited time when Marc released it on July 20th, but he has graciously made it available again for a few more days at my request so that you, the people that actually read my monthly-ish Luke Ski Updates, can have a chance to buy it and download it for yourselves! It's a 48 minute concert featuring many of Marc's sillier tunes, available for the cost of "NAME YOUR PRICE"! This was truly an epic performance, so be sure to go to the link below and get it by this Friday night, August 14th!

Each participant is limited to three entries, and each entry can be no longer than 90 seconds. We recommend performing just a verse and a chorus of your song, but if you want to do more and can keep it under 90 seconds that's fine. Send your video entries to devospice@gmail.com by August 15th.

- The "Weird Al" Phabet Podcast discusses
"White & Nerdy" with Luke Ski & Devo Spice!

Devo Spice (who is in EVERY piece of FuMP News in this Update) and myself were guests on a recent episode of The "Weird Al" Phabet Podcast, a show where the hosts spend an entire show talking about one particular "Weird Al" Yankovic song at a time, alphabetically, from his discography. It took a while to get us on because we had to wait until they got all the way to W for "White and Nerdy."  We discuss that song plus comedy-rap in general.

Kyle Carrozza has been hard at work developing pitch materials for his dream cartoon show "Caffeine & Punki: Life In Los Toongeles", which he wants to make really bad! As a part of that process, he had myself record some audio as "Caffeine Cat", and my roommate Erika Haynes as "Punki Jackman", and he whipped up this animatic. And now you get to watch it too!

- LUKE SKI SINGS THE GREAT GONZO'S
"I'M GOING TO GO BACK THERE SOMEDAY"

I was a part of a movie-script-reading done over Zoom of "The Muppet Movie", where I got to play my favorite Muppet, the great Gonzo. As such, it was my honor to sing the song "I'm Going To Back There Someday". I set up my phone on a tripod so I could Facebook Live me singing the song. So if you'd like to check it out, here it is. The song begins at 1:30.
