The 1st annual Logan Awards happened over the weekend, and the ceremony was great. Excellent performances by all involved, including surprise special guest Steve Goodie! "It's Good To Be The King" didn't win, but that's okay, it's an honor just to have been nominated. The main point of it all is to celebrate the genre we love and support in the spirit of Logan Whitehurst. So a big congrats to all of the winners, who I'm proud to report were all songs posted at the FuMP dot com! You can find out the winners at www.loganawards.com .
Anyway, "Skeksis Back" is on the FuMP, the new "Luke Ski Top 50" poll results are up, and please request "Snoopy The Dogg"! Thanks, and I'll talk to you all next week!

- PLEASE REQUEST "SNOOPY THE DOGG" FOR THE DR. DEMENTO SHOW!
"Snoopy The Dogg" crawled out of the dog house and managed to sneak onto the Top Ten for September 2011 at #10! According to the unofficial Fan Tallies, it's still the #1 song of the year, but it's tied with another song which has been the #1 song on the Top Ten for 3 months in a row. Between that and the other great songs by my colleagues, I fear I'm going to fall out of the top spot! Will October's coming of the Great Pumpkin save me? I don't know, but you sure can help me stay on top of the countdown by requesting for "The Dr. Demento Show" to play my song "Snoopy The Dogg" again at his site's request page: drdemento.com/request . And hey, with Halloween just around the corner, what better time is there to tune into the show and listen to some spooky tunes and scary melodies! You can do so at drdemento.com/online.html . It's still the best show ever!
It's also definitely worth noting that my Monty Python tribute song "WALKINGSILLY" featuring Dan of Flat 29 also made the Top Ten this month, at #6! Funny, I thought there was NOOOOOOO #6! So thank you to all of you who requested that one as well, it looks like I'll have at least 2 tracks on the Funny 25 this year. People will have to start calling me Luke "Two Tracks" Sienkowski.

"SKEKSIS BACK"
Download the MP3 for free now at the FuMP! www.thefump.com
I was listening to the Nerdist Podcast (www.nerdist.com) Episode #131 “Greta’s Calling!”, when the hosts, Chris Hardwick, Matt Mira, and Jonah Ray, after mentioning a joke that a friend of theirs Lee Farber made, began discussing the notion of “Dark Crystal” themed song parodies, hitting on one specific song idea. It inspired me to write and record and film a quick version of that idea and post it to YouTube, which can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrXUNyxf9lo
After posting it, I tweeted Chris, Matt, and Jonah about it, hoping they would take notice. Before too long Jonah tweeted about it, followed by Chris, who also posted about it on the Nerdist website, calling the video "SKEKTACULAR"! (www.nerdist.com/2011/10/skeksis-back/) I am very happy that my mission was a success, and that the Nerdist guys and so many others all got such a kick out of it. :) Special thanks to Eric "Seamonkey" Tomme for graciously donating the music, and to Sara Trice for puppetry assistance. As they say on Nerdist, "Enjoy your burrito"! :)
