Marvelous Mark's Mahvelous, Dahling!

He used to be with Marvelous Darlings but now it's "just" "Marvelous Mark." Either way, Torontan Mark Fosco's pretty damned marvelous. We (sort of) partied with him/them before and are pumped to do so again. (That song's still available there for free, right-click download.)

Let's talk today, though, because just today he's crushin' it with a new LP called . . . Crushin'. MM's made two songs from it available for nypdl, so check 'em out below. We trekked over to his Soundcloud page and found several more free and legals as well. We've personally cued up a bunch for future purchase at eMusic. 

So that's what we're doing. What are you up to?

Oh, btw, you may have noticed that Mark deploys pictures of himself wearing blue lipstick, a pig mask, a snake, and stomach hair.*** We make no judgment as to which is scarier because we really really love his music. That's key.

***Mark records for Drunken Sailor Records. Coincidence?

One more thing: Here's our favorite from Crushin'.

Marvelous Mark Gets Us Buzzin'

The fornicating flies don't necessarily turn us on, but the music certainly does. As in 14-for-14, i.e., every primo popper on Marvelous Mark's recently released LP, Buzzin'. (See/hear below.)

We've raved about this Terrific Torontan before and just noticed the free and legals we previously posted are still available here and there. We're posting our very most favorites from the new one below, but all of the fab fourteen are earable in each widget.

BTW, don't tell Mark that a couple of songs on Buzzin' are still available for free download (see our previous post for "Paralyzed" and "Bite Me"). Based on a recent Facebook post, though, he doesn't seem like one to pick nits: "NEW LPS ARE IN, HIT ME UP OR ORDER FROM Drunken Sailor Records IF YOU WANT ONE SUPPORT INDIE ARTISTS OR WHATEVER I HONESTLY DON'T CARE CAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN THIS SHIT ANYWAY . . . " 

Now that's takin' care of buzzin'ess.

Faves from Drunken Sailor Compilations: Marvelous Mark, First Base, The Cowboys, Malos Modales, Wonk Unit, Flamingo 50

Ahoy (hic!), maties. Our reshent posht on the fab new LP by First Base led us to some other fun name-your-price downloadables courtesy of Drunken Sailor Records. We've sampled all 56 songs on three DSR compilations and post below our very favorites. The dipso mariner tends toward the fast, fuzzy, and furious, but our selections tend toward a more poppy mode. Each widget below has all the songs on each comp, so if we've been a bit tame for your taste, dive right in and get falling down happy. Click here to view the full Drunken Sailor discography.


We've posted previously on this top-notch Torontan, and some of the songs we posted are still available for name-your-price download (including this very next one).



You probably wondered why we left this one out of that aforementioned First Base post. (Sure, pp, sure, we pay infinite attention to everything you do.) Well, we were saving it for this post.
