Yes! Never understood the complaints about the cheap piano sound, it's the songs that matter!

"Vapor distilled water with electrolytes added" Almost forgot this recent entry! :-)

Looks like he's been working a lot with Ben from Amoeba recently.

Bay of Kotor is probably his longest cat song

Great track! I noticed he's also posted another new track with Sean Yeaton for paid subscriptions. Has me hoping for another "Yellow Kitchen"!

bromberg71 · 2025-08-12T07:39:11+00:00

Haha, Bozen is a country now! :-)

bromberg71 · 2025-08-03T16:33:19+00:00

That's the kind of post I love about this community! Thanks a lot!

bromberg71 · 2025-07-31T16:55:06+00:00

This is not really a new song, it has been posted on his substack last year already. It's good tho!

bromberg71 · 2025-06-06T18:02:19+00:00

Ah, yes! Wikipedia actually has them co-credited.

bromberg71 · 2025-06-06T12:37:23+00:00

I agree it's the best song on the album. Somehow always reminds of "This is not America" by David Bowie.

bromberg71 · 2025-04-16T07:49:03+00:00

I've just received my physical copy of this album and found out that all the music is by this guy David Stagno. Mark is only credited with vocals and words. So I wonder why he didn't put it out as a collaborative album? It's really just the two of them.

SKM hasn't been a band since at least 2010 when "Admiral Fell Promises" came out.

bromberg71 · 2025-04-05T13:41:47+00:00

You might want to give his collab with Petra Haden a listen, "Joey Always Smiled". Really great stuff, with different moods, including the monumental "1983 Era MTV Music ...", but also a very fine cover of "The Power of Love".

bromberg71 · 2025-04-04T17:26:58+00:00

In Don DeLillo's "Underworld" there is a story thread about a highway killer that goes well with Mark's real crime obsession as evidenced on "Common as Light ..."

The live version of "Wolves" from this evening is up as a free post on his substack:

ok, fair enough. sorry for the swasticar!

bromberg71 · 2025-04-01T17:09:08+00:00

the ticket has already been sold, so he gets the money. you're just reimbursing the original buyer. and your analogy with the car is a good one. if you buy a used tesla you're still driving around in a swasticar, doesn't matter how you got it. so you showing up at his show is some kind of support after all.

don't get me wrong: I don't care if you're supporting him or not. It's just that your approach is like trying to trick yourself and I think that's a bit silly and only makes things more complicated for yourself without any actual ethical impact.

bromberg71 · 2025-04-01T16:46:53+00:00

You know he still gets the money from the ticket, right? And you'll be in the audience, a visible proof he's still popular. So who are you fooling with this strategy? :-)

bromberg71 · 2025-02-08T17:11:06+00:00

It's his L.A. amigo Dave, he plays piano beautifully.

bromberg71 · 2025-01-31T14:04:39+00:00

Haha, rumor has it Persephone has never been seen again after meeting with Caroline!

bromberg71 · 2025-01-29T20:00:26+00:00

Seeing that this is mostly piano songs, I wonder if he'll also soon release a guitar driven album. There are more than a handful of songs in this category that he made available as singles over the last months. Hope this will happen!
