Awesome! Thanks for the heads-up! But hey, shouldn’t the OP have started with “Wind up your radios, dementites and dementoids”? ---

Got my CDs and shirt in the mail over the weekend! The shirt is fantastic! The songs are kinda hit-or-miss, as you might imagine. I mean, its kinda funny to think about Brak singing Suicidal Tendencies _Institutionalized_, but the actual song gets tedious and frankly isn’t as much fun as the original. And that’s often the problem with the songs here: there’s simply no way to make the cover as interesting or more interesting than the very interesting original. Still, I’m happy to help support Dr. D; the man’s work not only provided me with hundreds of hours of enjoyment, it informed my taste in music and humor quite a bit.
