2024 Compilations

by Devo Spice

We have two new compilations now available in our store!

First is the FuMPFest 2024 - Live! 2-CD compilation. This double album recorded live at FuMPFest 2024 includes performances by 2d6, Pastor Hastur, Carla Ulbrich, Steve Goodie, Holy Bongwater, Ross Childs, Sulu, the great Luke Ski, and many more! Plus select bits from Dumb Parody Ideas, the Game Show, Live Podcasts, and some particularly funny between song banter that happened. This album is being sold to help raise money to pay off some of our bills from past events. Please help us out and pick up a copy.

Second is The FuMP Presents Our Funniest Songs of 2024. As always at the end of each year we release a free digital compilation of our favorite 10 songs from the year. Last year we decided to expand that to 20 songs and put out a proper compilation album. We've decided to do that again this year and once again we have awesome artwork by Chuck to go along with it. This album features songs by the great Luke Ski, Devo Spice, Ross Childs, Tom Smith, Bonnie Gordon, Worm Quartet, Gail Gallagher, and many more!

FuMPCast All Caught Up

by Devo Spice

In October archive.org was the victim of a DDOS attack which took the website down. We use this site to host The Funny Music Podcast, aka The FuMPCast, so we were unable to post episodes in the feed or on the website. We were able to continue posting the YouTube videos, though.

Since archive.org went back online we have been trying to get caught up reposting episodes. All past episodes have now been posted. As of this writing the latest episode is number 755. Please note that your podcast app may miss one or more of the past episodes so you'll need to go into your app and manually download any episode it may have skipped. Alternately, you can listen to the episodes here on our website.

The FuMP Volume 107 Now Shipping!

by Devo Spice

It's The FuMP Volume 107! Now with sprinkles! Cookies! Bats! Ducks! Birds! And even Roman Numerals!

Newcomer Stu Sauce tells us how he passes time at work. Lauren Mayer tells people to mind their own business. And Ross Childs tells us about his favorite pastime.

Also, the great Luke Ski puts out an epic tribute to Star Trek Lower Decks and the Consortium of Genius put out a posthumous tribute to Morgus The Magnificent.

This album also includes a behind the scenes video from FuMPFest 2024, featuring The Consortium of Genius, Sulu, Luke Ski, Insane Ian, Chris Mezzolesta, Devo Spice, Ross Childs, Carla Ulbrich, and many more, including clips from The Logan Awards, The FuMP's appearance on Escape from the Secret Lab, and all the other madness that happened that weekend.

FuMPCast Episodes - Getting Caught Up

by Devo Spice

Last month Archive.org was the victim of a DDOS attack that brought them down. We use Archive.org for hosting The FuMPCast, so we weren't able to upload any of the shows during this time, however, new episodes were being streamed live on Twitch and posted to our YouTube channel.

Archive.org is now finally working again, so we have begun posting the missing episodes. Episode 747 is now up, where Luke and I run down all the fun we had at FuMPFest. We will continue posting one episode per day until we are caught up, that way your podcast software won't miss any episodes.

Thank you for your patience.
