This album is made up of tracks Luke Ski has produced over the past few years that did not end up on either "unCONVENTIONal" or "BACONspiracy", but were available elsewhere, including You Might Be A Trekkie (Live at MarsCon 2008), Man From Dunder, Quark's New Merchandising Enterprise (Live at CONvergence 2007), Theme From The Dork of the Rings, Love Theme From Mystery Spatula Theatre 11, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?, The Give Lindsay Lohan A Sammich Foundation, Earn Hollywood Earn by Possible Oscar, Fight Club: The Musical! by Carrie Dahlby, Your Bird Smells by Worm Quartet, Unexplained Outtakes, and more! The CD also features narration by Luke, and a new track "Explained Outtakes", which features over 15 minutes of outtakes from various tracks by Luke and his demented colleagues.

"FORGOTTEN FISHHEADS MP3 ARCHIVE" (data disc) - length: 5 hrs, 46 min. - price: $25.00!
The majority of the contents of the old Luke Ski Fan Club CDs have now been collected onto this MP3 Data CD. There are 123 tracks, totaling 5 hours and 46 minutes of material, divided into four folders: The Early Years, The Ray TV Legacy, Are We Stalling For Time? (Live At GenCon), & Turn Of The Century Tracks. This product is intended for Luke Ski Super-fans who already own all of his other albums, but crave to get their hands on his early works, live tracks, and other miscellaneous rarities. To order the physical data disc, 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 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.
