fiogf49gjkf0d Luke Ski Update - Sept. 14th, 2010
Fun fact: Today is the 30th Anniversary of the live on-the-air recording of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Another One Rides The Bus" on "The Dr. Demento Show"! The day that Al met Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, and a band was born! How different would the world be today if those events never had happened? We shudder to think of it! So raise your glasses high and toast in celebration of one of the most pivotal moments in the history of comedy music! To Al, Jon, Dr. D, Musical Mike, and the rest of the crew, thank you and happy 30th Anniversary! :D
WHAT'S LUKE PLUGGING NOW?:
- "COSPLAYING FANGURLS" by Insane Ian, featuring the great Luke Ski
A few words from Insane Ian:
Cosplay- verb, [short for "costume roleplay"]: a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea, drawn from such sources as Science Fiction and/or Fantasy TV shows, books, and movies, Comics books or Video Games.
The female fans who participate in this activity are of particular interest to Insane Ian and the great Luke Ski (with a brief cameo by Chris Waffle), and their dedication to their craft (and the fact that they bring our favorite characters to so-close-we-can-look-but-not-touch distance) should be proclaimed in song...in this case, as a parody of the HUGELY popular "California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg.
(And yes, I know that similar parodies exist. This is a parody of one of the most popular songs in the country...there are literally dozens of different takes on this. This one is mine.)

HELP LUKE & SARA PAY FOR THEIR WEDDING
Luke Ski, that would be me, is getting married to Sara Trice in 17 days. We are paying the bulk of the wedding costs ourselves. If you'd like to help us out with that, buying stuff from my website is an easy way to do so. As always, it is located at www.thegreatlukeski.com , click on the STORE link. "WHAT A RIPOFF! VOLUME 2", an odds-and-ends compilation was just released, and my "GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1" 2-CD set would make a great gift for someone who you'd like to introduce to my music.
Additionally, I'm always looking for more work as a caricature artist & cartoonist. If you'd like to hire me to draw caricatures at your party or event, or commission some cartooning artwork from me, go to www.artbylukeski.com for all the details. Thanks.
