fiogf49gjkf0d Have you noticed lately that I have been sending out these email updates, like, every 3 or 4 days? I apologize if it has been annoying you. It's just that a bunch of stuff has happened lately, and the rate and timing of the news kinda forced me to send off multiple messages. Well, today's message is mainly just a big recap of all the things I've reported on lately, so if you didn't have time to read it all before, you can peruse through it all now at your leisure. The main new news to report has to do with my latest song, and is right at the top of the message. I'm not planning on sending out any more big messages this month, other than plugging when the next "Bad Rapport" episode posts. Thanks again for reading everyone, and I hope you all have an awesome holiday season. :)

... #1 ON DR. DEMENTO'S TOP TEN FOR NOVEMBER 2012!!!
I am incredibly happy to report that not only did "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" make "The Dr. Demento Show's" Top Ten for November 2012, it hit #1! That means it will probably make it onto the Funny 25 of 2012, somewhere in the bottom third! Wow! It's like deja vu from "It's Good To Be The King" in 2010! Thank you so much to Dr. Demento and to all of his fans and my fans for giving the song so much love and support! If you'd like to request for him to play it again, you can do so here: drdemento.com/request , but all the shows leading up to the Funny 25 will be all Christmas & Hannukah music. So it's a festive time to listen to "The Dr. Demento Show"! There's a new epsiode posted every Saturday morning at drdemento.com/online.html !
... #1 ON THE MAD MUSIC DEMENTIA TOP 20 REVENGE!
In another show of massive fan support, "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" was also #1 on the Mad Music Top 20 Revenge hosted by DJ Particle! Hooray! :D You can hear that episode here: www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?Show=MMDT20_12-48 . DJ Particle is always keeping her finger on the pulse of what the comedy music fans in our scene are listening to, so you can always hear new, interesting, funny stuff from all over the web on her weekly Revenge / Countdown show. You can register at the Mad Music Archive forums here: www.madmusic.com/signup.aspx , you can submit your weekly votes at the voting page here: www.madmusic.com/top20voting.aspx , and you can listen to the show every week here: www.madmusic.com/mmtop20.aspx
... Still image video posted to YOUTUBE for easy online sharing!
I have begun working on a proper music video for "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" similar to the one I made for "Marvel Poppins". It's going to take me quite a long time to finish it, so it won't be done until sometime in early Spring 2013, I hope. In the meantime, since YouTube is the world's most popular place for people to hear new music, I have made a static image video of "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" and posted it to my YouTube Channel. Here is the url for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv3w6o6z5HI . So please share this link with your friends online via Facebook, Twitter, and whatever online social media is YouTube friendly. The song will only be a free download at the FuMP until the end of the day on December 10th, so I hope I can get the word out to thousands more people about it between now and then. Thanks again, loyal fans, for helping me spread the word about this new song.

- BIG MARSCON 2013 NEWS!
At long last, I am ready to make some announcements regarding the Dementia Track at MarsCon 2013! This news is so exciting, that I'm not even going to type it out here in text. Instead, I'm going to give you links to a YouTube video of the announcement, and an MP3 version as well:
Video version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hseUWi5yPyo
Audio version: tinyurl.com/MarsCon2013promo1
Those of you with radio shows, internet shows, podcasts, etc., please download the MP3 of the announcement and play it as a promo on your shows. It's 2:15 long, which for me is pretty dang short.
In any case, start getting excited people! MarsCon 2013 happens March 1st through 3rd at the Crown Plaza Hotel & Suites in Bloomington, MN. Go to www.marscon.com to register and for more information about this awesome sci-fi/fandom convention, and go to marscondementia.com for forthcoming updates on the MarsCon Dementia Track: the BEST WEEKEND EVER in COMEDY MUSIC!

- "STEALING LIKE A HOBBIT" MUSIC VIDEO FINALLY ON YOUTUBE!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWHbX6kKu5s
You may not have heard about this, but "The Hobbit" hits movie theatres in 2 weeks! Well, part one of what is now a trilogy hits theatres on December 14th anyway. This seemed like the perfect excuse for me to get off of my old-media, outdated-business-model butt and finally post my music video for my most popular song of all time, "Stealing LIke A Hobbit" to YouTube. At the end, I added a plug for my new piece "When You Wish Upon A Death Star" at the FuMP, in the hopes to give that some more attention as well. So as you and your friends online get hyped for part one of "The Hobbit", please help get me some publicity by sharing "Stealing Like A Hobbit" with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else that nerdy web traffic is generated. Thanks, and enjoy your second breakfast!

- DEMENTIA RADIO INDIE GOGO FUNDRAISER!
www.indiegogo.com/dementiaradio
The website for the 24-hour online streaming comedy music station "Dementia Radio" has long been in need of a major overhaul. Meanwhile, web programmer Devo Spice found himself suddenly unemployed and looking for freelance web work. So "Blasted Bill" Putt, founder of dementiaradio.org, decided to start a fund raiser that helps two entities at the same time! The purpose of this new Indie Gogo campaign is to raise the funds to pay Devo Spice to overhaul DementiaRadio.org! Some of the new features the updated website will have include: a database of all songs played with links to purchase those songs and request them for "The Dr. Demento Show" & the MMT20, ratings, keyword list sorting functions, pages for individual shows, staff, and DJ bios, integrated podcast pages, current song playing display, pirate cast button for DJs, a Dementia Radio App, and more! Their goal is to raise $4,300 by January 4th, 2013. So if you have the means to do so, please donate something so we can help Devo Spice and help Dementia Radio! And please spread the word to your comedy music loving friends online! :D
