I'm sure you're all full of figgy pudding and merry wishes for the holidays (and strung out from shopping...gotta boost that economy!) but if you get a chance, hit up the following site:
to listen to and vote for my new holiday tune, "WOW Christmas!" for this year's Christmas contest! It's free to sign up and vote, and only takes a moment of your holiday time (and it's all I'll ask of you for x-mas)! ^_^ Voting ends Sunday night (the 21st) at 10pm, so go vote quick!
More tunes are coming soon, with an announcement about the full album just around the corner! Thanks for all your help and support in '08!
That's right, from the guy who brought you the song about "Guitar Hero" titled...um..."Guitar Hero", comes, just in time for Halloween, his song about the survival horror series "Resident Evil".
"Umbrella Chronicles" is a parody of "Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z, and is the next song from the upcoming album "n3rds0ngs". The song features Insane Ian as Chris Redfield and introduces The Stacey as Jill Valentine.
You can listen to the song below, or download for free from The FuMP (that's the Funny Music Project) here:

Hey folks...as some may know, I'm a comedy music artist. I recently wrote and recorded a song about Guitar Hero called...well, GUITAR HERO. It's a parody of JUKE BOX HERO by Foreigner and we think it's pretty damn awesome. So do a lot of people actually, as it has hit the Top Ten countdown on the Dr Demento Show, a national syndicated novelty radio show (that gave a certain Weird Al Yankovic his comedy start).
Here is the song itself:
Now, Dr Demento's Top Ten is aired the end of each month, and this month's happens to fall on October 26th...the same day GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR hits stores...do you see what i'm getting at? How AWESOME would it be for my song ABOUT Guitar Hero to reach the Top Ten (or even, number one?) the day and date the new GAME of Guitar Hero hits store shelves? That'd be pretty frikkin' killer, if you ask me (of course, i just may be a BIT biased).
To help out, you can go here:

and request "Guitar Hero" by Insane Ian. I'd really appreciate it.
That's the Presidents of the United States of America...THE BAND! That's right, one of the coolest , rokin-est bands alive, PUSA (no, not POTUSA) will have a 3 song track pack for DLC on Xbox live on Nov. 4th, election day. Included in the track pack are the new single, "Ladybug" from their new album "These Are The Good Times People", as well as two tracks from their eponymous debut album, "Dune Buggy" and "Feather Pluckn". This information was announced by band frontman and "basitartist" Chris Ballew on the band's website, www.presidentsrock.com
Now, I'm all for PUSa music in Rock Band, but personally...where's Peaches? And hell, where's the love for their second album, "II"? Give me Tiki God ANY day...
Still, can't fault them for these songs...the latter two tear up the pogo-ing fools at their live shows, and "Ladybug" just had it's music video released EXCLUSIVELY on Xbox Live Marketplace TODAY so, the timing couldn't be sweeter.
Plus...The Presidents on election day? Sure, they released their second album on the same day in '96, but that, for me, never gets old with these guys.
Here's the video for their first single from the new album, directed by none other than Weird Al Yankovic!
Where's HIS DLC for Rock Band!?! I know *I* always sing "The Rye or The Kaiser" instead of "The Eye of the Tiger", don't you?
Oh yeah, I write a video game review column occasionally over at www.quickstopent.com/gameon as well at http://www.comicmix.com/contributor/ian-bonds/
I also write and record comedy music...I have an album coming out and everything. Call it "nerdcore" or "dementia" or whatever. It's good stuff, if you like geeky little songs about videogames and sci-fi. You can find that stuff at www.myspace.com/n3rds0ngs or at my website http://www.InsaneIan.com
