One of the guys in my dorm is related to Mark Mulcahy (lead singer of Polaris and Miracle Legion). Mulcahy is his Uncle or something. I thought it was kick ass.

Oh, and you who the guy who plays the zombie from Dawn of the Dead who gets the screwdriver pushed into the side of his head?
Yeah, he's the same guy who directed the SciFi version of Dune. Which I own.

Something else to blow your mind.... This was found on Radiohead's Question & Answer section on their alternate website, Spin With A Grin. Here Thom Yorke discussses how Mark Mulcahy (lead singer of Miracle Legion and Polaris) inspired him. Sure Miracle Legion is not 100% Polaris but the only difference is that Polaris misses one of the Legion's musicians.
QUESTION:
Thom - I'm writing an introductory 'Mojo Rising' piece on Mark Mulcahy. He seemed very touched by your support in the past, and I was wondering if you could offer a few words as to why he's so fantastic, why he was inportant to you etc - there's a 'references' bit at the end of the piece for well-known fans to rave about the subject of the piece. It only need be, literally, a few words, but feel free to ramble on should the mood take you. Have you heard the new album, BTW? It's lovely. Thanks a lot, David.
ANSWER:
When i was 15 the best song in the entire world and the most beautiful voice i had ever heard sang "all for the best" of Miracle Legions Surprise Surprise Surprise. it was the voice of someone who was only truly happy when he was singing. it affected me a great deal. the record never seemed to get anywhere, i had to go to London especially to get it. no-one seemed to know who they were but my brother & i played that record until it was completely unplayable. it changed the way i thought about songs and singing. thom

Ken Foree (Peter in the original Dawn of the Dead) also played the father in the classic Nickelodeon show "Kenon and Kel." Who loves orange soda?

I've found a crazy funk band that the relative to Mulcahy (named Andrew) used to play bass for. Well, here is a sample of the lyrics:
A fish in the bathtub
A fish in the tub
A fish in the bathtub
A fish in the tub
A fish in the bathtub
A fish in the tub
Scoop up the fish, baby
Show me some loooove
