I've decided to combine my Patreons together into one new "Devo Spice" Patreon, instead of one for Manic Mondays and one for Random Acts of Horror, and a potential third one for my music. But I'm not sure exactly what I want to offer yet or what I want to charge, so I've set up a quick survey to see what people actually want from me.
I've got some cool ideas for what I want to offer, but first I want to make sure you people actually want that, so the survey will help me nail down how this thing is set up. Thank you in advance for filling it out!

It was a long time coming, but my music video for "WAPC (Wet-Ass Pussy Cat)" is finally up!
"Lawyer Up" Nominated for a Logan Award
February 21, 2025
Insane Ian came on the FuMPCast last night and announced the nominees for this year's Logan Awards and I was thrilled to hear that "Lawyer Up" has been nominated for Outstanding Parody Song!
The Logan Awards will be presented at MarsCon in a couple weeks and I will be there to perform this song live (with Ian filling in for Luke who can't make it). Tune in on Twitch and find out who wins!
New Song: Ian Is Made of Beans
February 18, 2025
A few weeks ago on The FuMPCast, Insane Ian was on to talk about nominations for the Logan Awards and how you have to nominate five songs. If you don't have five things to nominate you have to put something in there as a placeholder. As a joke, Ian suggested writing "Ian is made of beans." Derwood Bowen was also on the show at the time and asked which one of us was going to write that song. Well, I did!
"Ian Is Made of Beans" is stupid. There's no other way to describe it. But I couldn't stop myself. So now it's something you can listen to. It also features the great Luke Ski doing his Brak impression if that gives you more incentive to listen.
I've been a big fan of Tony Goldmark's podcast Escape from Vault Disney for some time now, and it occurred to me that I could do the same thing (that is, watching stuff at random) with horror movies. So I did!
Random Acts of Horror is a new podcast where I and a rotating group of panelists will pick something to watch at random, watch it, and then dissect it for your amusement. As of this writing Episode 1 is now available and Episode 2 is up for our Patreon backers.
Patreon backers get the show 3 days early and ad-free, and to get the Patreon kickstarted, the first five people who sign up get in at just $2 a month! Once those slots are filled the price will go up to $4 per month.

28 years later "The House Party Polka" finally gets a music video.
This song was originally recorded for the "Weird Al" Yankovic tribute album Prosthetic Lips, which I also did the album art for. However, it was rejected because it wasn't a Weird Al cover nor a song about Al. So I submitted a cover of "Happy Birthday" instead and this medley went largely unreleased. It was included on our 1996 10th Anniversary cassette A Decade of Decay which had a very limited release. It was also later included on the Best of Sudden Death retrospective Rhythms from the Crypt.
Recently someone on Reddit asked me to revive this song so I put together a quick video using the videos from the original songs and posted it to YouTube. Enjoy!
New Album: Cover Up
May 3, 2024
I have done quite a few cover songs over the years for various reasons. Some were recorded for special tribute albums. Some were done just to perform at MarsCon's Dementia Smackdown event. Some were just done so I could troll my friends. Cover Up brings them all together in one place for the first time.
This album also features three new songs, recorded exclusively for this release. "It's All About the Pentiums" is a cover of the song by "Weird Al" Yankovic which uses a chiptunes version of the original Puff Daddy music. "Tortuga" is a cover of the song by Alestorm which features vocals by legendary pirate rapper Captain Dan. And "What's Up, Spock? (2024 Version)" is an updated version of the Luke Ski song which adds five new verses. There are new verses for the Star Trek shows Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. That song is currently available as a free download on The FuMP.
This album also features my covers of "New Math" by Tom Lehrer, "The Big Five-0" by Doodoo Wah, "The Laundromat of Sin" by Worm Quartet, "House Tickle Pfeiffer" by Schaffer the Darklord, "There's a Platypus Controlling Me" from Phineas and Ferb, and many more, plus several live performances from MarsCon's Dementia Smackdown event.
Last week Dr. Demento released his annual Funny 25 countdown of the most requested songs of the year and I am thrilled to report that my song "Yo! Sam" squeaked onto the countdown at #25! Thank you to everyone who requested it and liked the posts on Facebook to help make it onto the countdown!
Here's looking forward to a great 2024!
New Song, Sort of...
December 31, 2023
I'm really just correcting the timeline a bit here.
Recently I was a guest on Tony Goldmark's highly entertaining podcast Escape from Vault Disney, where they watch shows available on Disney+ completely at random. I was part of one of their Christmas episodes where we watched the soon-to-be holiday perennial favorite Disney Holiday Magic Quest (2020). OK, so maybe it won't replace A Charlie Brown Christmas but at least it produced enough material for an entertaining podcast episode.
Escape from Vault Disney should be available on your favorite podcast directory/app, or you can listen directly from Libsyn here.
