Luke Dickinson

In Luke's spare time, he likes to: I’m a long distance runner; I race 10 km and 21km. I also enjoy reading, hiking, acting and writing.

Luke's biggest influence is: Paavo Nurmi, a Finnish distance runner who won 13 medals at three summer Olympics. He was dedicated to his sport and never lost his humility.

If Luke could see any musician live, it would be: Louis Armstrong in a club in New Orleans.

In 15 years, Luke sees himself: Hopefully involved with animated features – I love doing voice-over work.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

A few days ago I was cruising around on-line, looking for information about teaching creationism in American schools, and I found this nifty little website:

The hilarious and tragic thing about this "religion" is that many who wrote in hate-mail actually think it's real!

Obviously the concept of "parody" isn't well-known in religious circles.

Counting the Beat with Pennywise the Clown

Howdy y'all,

I had a ball this afternoon. At the start of the show I mentioned Halloween is coming soon, so I've posted this link to a music video starring Pennywise the Dancing Clown, from "It" fame:

By the way, MILF Academy is not a real institution, unfortunately.

 

Started With a Blast, Ended With Man's Best Friend

 Howdy y'all,   

This afternoon was a blast! The first atomic bomb test was certainly a good way to kick off the show and it transgressed to guns in Kentucky, nasty cyclists, Tory Groupies, surfing priests, chimps' rear ends and man's best friend. I've got a possible video coming your way tomorrow. Just check my blog; I'll post it here.

Filling the Void

Howdy y'all,

I may not have a personality, but I can "fill the void" like nobody's business. I also mentioned another mutant bear, one who has a soft spot for diesel drums.

If you're interested in what you can learn at university, take a look at this video:

It truly is post-secondary education's shining moment.

Pink Cowboy Hats n' Coffin Dodgers

Howdy y'all,

Did my first show with the staple station pink cowboy hat and some kind of mutant-looking bear on my shirt to give myself a manly look. I also made a poke at the "coffin-dodgers" (old people I have to dance around while I'm running on the track). Tune in at  4:00 to find out why I don't have a personality!  

Hard Times

Ra Ra Riot has faced some hard knocks in its young life. The band's only been around for two years, and they've faced high expectations from critics, a marathon tour schedule and the death of one of their members. Despite the tough times, the band is still determined as ever to succeed, and has finally released a first album, The Rhum Line. The cello and violin that feature so prominently in this collection may give the music a melancholy feel, but that's to be expected with all the hardship this band's endured.... more>
