Holy crap...I haven't done one of these in MONTHS!  Does anyone even remember who I am?  Here's what's in the update:

Let's kick it.

-=InsaneIan.com Price Cuts!=-

Well, seeing as the the wedding has been accomplished (thanks to all who helped with that!), I fig'd I'd drop the price on my remaining copies of "Please Buy This EP So I Can Pay For My Wedding" down to just Six Bucks!  But that's not all..."n3rds0ngs", my first full length CD is now available for just TEN bucks!  Such a deal!  Head over to www.InsaneIan.com and make with the buying!  Please?

You can even download "n3rds0ngs" from iTunes too!  Yay intangible music!

-=New Tuneage!=-

So, as a few of you know, my new song "HOUSE!" has been tearing up the charts over at The Mad Music Archive in the Dementia Top 20.  Thanks to ALL who have been voting, and if you could keep it going, I'd really appreciate it!  It's free to register for the site, and it's a great comedy music resource!

But, I don't mention this idly...this means there's a NEW album in the works!  Tentatively titled "The TV Set", it's scheduled to be done sometime next year.  However, BEFORE then, there will be a special EP released...to help pay for the completion of the full CD.  Isn't it wonderful how these things work?

"Fairly EPic" should be ready in the next month or so...and features a bunch of live tracks, collaborations and a few new surprises...that WON'T be found on the new CD!  Woo! Exclusives are cool!

-=Requests!=-

As I mentioned, my new song "HOUSE!" is doing very well on the DT20...but sadly, doesn't look like it'll be played on The Dr. Demento Show.  Still, there's plenty of stuff for him to play...and for you to request!

Halloween is coming up, and it would be AMAZING to see the Guest Star Studded epic "There's Something About A Zombie" played during one of the two Halloween episodes.  Simply go to www.DrDemento.com/request and make your voice heard! (You can also boost the votes for this song as well on The MMA, where the song was Number One for FOUR WEEKS RUNNING!)

Also, don't forget about my collaboration with the great Luke Ski!  "My Parents Bought Me Intellivision" can be found on Luke's new CD "Too Much Stuff" and it would be cool to see it reach the Top Ten on the show (for both Luke and Me!)

-=Appearances!=-

So, in about two weeks, I'll be appearing with Rob Balder at Capclave in Rockville, MD on Saturday, October 17th (just before the Erfworld party).  I may be even PREMIERING a brand new song that night!

Next, I'm pretty much confirmed for Penguicon in Detroit April 30th - May 2nd.  Woo!

Hopefully, I'll have more solid details about that appearance, as well as Marscon in the next few months!

Well...that's it!  What more do you want from me?  Love?

Ok.  I love you guys.  See ya next update!

Wow, it's been a little bit since i did one of these.  Let's take a crack at it here...

-=Bofore Radio Madness!=-

-=MarsCon was AMAZING=-

WOW.  What a GREAT convention!  Met a lot of cool people, saw a lot of cool shows, and released my NEW CD!  All in all it was an amazing event, and I fully intend to invade Bloomington next year with the hopes of performing and seeing all those great people again!  Thanks to all who made my first visit so spectacular, and ensured that i will be back again!

-=n3rds0ngs is released=-

That's right, my full length CD is finally out now !  You've probably heard a few tracks from it, but the full length CD has 17 total comedy tracks on it, and many of them have not been released on the FuMP or anywhere else!  I recently wrote up a decent press release for it, so I should be seeing some reviews on the album in the near future!

Did you get it and want to write a review?  Drop me a line and let me know at ian@insaneian.com today!

-=There's Something About A Zombie=-

My latest single (which features a whole slew of demented and talented friends...thanks to you ALL) was released Marscon weekend...and has now been the #1 song on the Mad Music Dementia Top 20 podcast for FOUR WEEKS STRAIGHT!  Woo!

If you haven't, sign up for the MMA to listen to the show, and even more importantly, vote for your favorite songs for the countdown!

My thanks and gratitude go out not only to all the folks who contributed to the song, but to those who have voted (and keep voting) for it at the top!

But...the DT20 isn't enough...I'm greedy.  Let's see if we can get this track played on the Dr. Demento show!  Head over to http://www.drdemento.com/request and tell the Dr. you want to hear "There's Something About A Zombie" today!  And while you're there, why not make your voice heard...literally?  Record an MP3 request and send it in, and you may even hear yourself onthe air, requesting the song!

-=Bofore Radio Madness!=-

This week, Insane Ian is the special guest host on the Bofore Radio podcast!  I get to play whatever the hell I want, so I fill the hour (and then some) with my favorite funny and demented songs!

Not only that, but at the beginning of March, the guys at Bofore interviewed me about the release of "n3rds0ngs"!

You can check out the show at The Mad Music Archive or over at Bofore's gcast site!

-=Website Updated (FINALLY!)=-

That's right, my meager web skills aside, i finally got my site looking proper...which includes (a) no more dead links and (b) a nice even frame!  Woo!  Go one and check the site out, and let me know what you think of it, what you'd like to see me add, or just say HI!  Go to http://www.InsaneIan.com and look around, listen to a song or two, watch a video, and maybe BUY SOMETHING!

So...I'm working on a bunch of new songs, that hopefully soon will hit the FuMP.  My time with the Masters of Song Fu is done for this season (season?  I dunno what to call MoSF3) and it helped me write...ok, one song for the new CD.  Still, I'm working on some cool collaborations, and things are looking good for the next batch of tunes.

Still, don't want to get TOO ahead of myself...I still have to sell my CURRENT CDs (which you can purchase RIGHT ON MY NEW WEBSITE at http://www.InsaneIan.com conveniently!  Yay!) and that forthcoming DVD I've been working on..

Oh yeah...and i get married in JUST SIX WEEKS!  WOO!

(Speaking of the wedding..still could use a few extra bucks...the EP is available on the site too!)

Enough shilling....have a great holiday folks, and we'll see ya soon!
