   About Power Salad
Power Salad is a comedy music group regularly heard on the nationally-syndicated "Dr. Demento Show" as well as college and independent stations in the US and in the Netherlands. The group evolved out of Akron Ohio's radio comedy group Zot Theater in the late 1980's, and has released 3 CDs of funny music. Performing member Chris Mezzolesta has represented Power Salad live at fan cons including the huge GENCON in Milwaukee 2001, ALCON (Weird Al/funny music con) in Chicago 1998/2000/2002, and Dementia 2001 in Detroit 2001. Another rare live performance happened Sunday March 4, 2007 at MARSCON 2007. The group is on independent Marianth Records, distributed by Orchard Records.

Oh my gosh, I don't know if I ever got back in touch with you! How's it going??! I've been away for awhile on a few deployments, but now I'm back home in North Mississippi. Ugh. Is ok, I guess.
Please catch me up? Is Ida, Robert and the gang still around???

I found your Warcraft World on youtube like an hour ago or so, and it's really well done and funny! I love it!

I myself grew up on the 4 guys from Düsseldorf and love their tunes, but MAN do they take themselves too serious or what? ;)

They DESERVE a little parody from time to time. :)

Luckily at least the two ex-members Karl and Wolfgang show THEY know what fun is in their solo releases here and there, that gives me a little hope. ;)

We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams! (and the snozzberries taste like snozzberries)

Brielmusik News: I joined a little contest on myspace - if you like go over there and vote for your favourite track - preferably mine, of course. ;)

In an attempt to find an MP3 of "Dead Puppies" I learned two things:

1. You have recorded a cover of said song.

2. Your stuff is on eMusic. com

I am downloading a bunch of songs from The White Album as I post this.
Can you autograph these MP3s?

All around, the dark prevails, leaving a single lone spotlight to seek out the important person from amongst the gossamer.

IT'S YOU!

IT'S YOUR BIIIIRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTHHHHHHHDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Now, I'm really not one to encourage binge drinking - but under paragraph 1, sub-section C of the "Being On My Friends List Code" it states : "At no point shall a birthday be passed over without inebriation of the highest order, nor is it permissable for a good time not to be had." So - there you go!

IT'S THE LAW! Throw some Eighties music and a dancing Rhinocerous into the mix and you're bound to have a good time!

Happy Birthday!



Joel :-)
