Hey everybody, it's Luke Ski.

So, this is what you humans call "a day off"? Fascinating. Anyway, there's things to report, songs to request, merch to sell, etc., so here's an update. But before that, I wanted to point out in case you didn't notice that at my website, Luke Ski dot com, the feature formerly known as "Free MP3 of the Month" has now become FREE MP3 OF THE WEEK!!! Yes, a new Luke Ski track as requested by one of you will be available for free download by an automated interwebby-thingy constructed from voodoo and doozer tower sticks by the illustrious Sara 'dement1a' Trice, the webmistress to which you all must submit. So thank her, dammit, and wish her a happy birthday! Current Free MP3 of the week: THE BALLAD OF OPTIMUS PRIME! So tell your friends to Transform and roll out to www.lukeski.com !

LUKE SKI'S NEWEST FuMP: "BATTLESTAR RHAPSODY"!

From the new album by the great Luke Ski, 'Target: Audience', available on CD and for download today at Luke Ski dot com. This song would not be possible without the immense talent and awesomeness of the following people:

Music by Bob Emmett of Project Sisyphus.
Vocals, vocal interpretation, and coaching by Carrie Dahlby.
Vocals by ShoEboX of Worm Quartet.
Vocals, mixing, and mastering by Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad.
Inspiration from the Nick Atoms. Always grave-rob from the best.

This song is about wildly popular, critically acclaimed, Sci-fi Channel series 'Battlestar Galactica', the current reimagining of the 1978 classic, done to the tune of that 'Wayne's World' song.

What? If Tom Smith can regularly refer to 'Because I Got High' by Afroman as 'the song from the closing credits of Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back', then I get to call this song 'that Wayne's World song'.

Okay, fine, you win. It's a parody of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen. Like you didn't figure that out the moment you read the title.

I really hope you like the song, because unfortunately for you, the human-disguised-cylon known as Janny-7 seduced Rob Balder into giving her access to the FuMP mainframe, which she used to launch a nuclear strike against ourselves while you've been reading this. So, enjoy the song during your final five minutes and twenty four seconds to live.

Download it right now at www.thefump.com

Please tell all your BSG fan friends about it, and please request it for airplay on "The Dr. Demento Show!" Go to drdemento.com/request
