Mark Nicholas - Video for Maniac

[angst242]

ha! too funny, nice work Mark!

[cosmicity]

@angst242 Thank you! I try...

[TheAaronpk]

Yea, this is pretty awesome. Go Mark!

[24okay]

Oh by the way man, I LOVE your music (If you are Mark, which I am.... going to... assume you are?)!

[cosmicity]

@24okay I am Mark. And I thank you so much. It's so nice to hear all of the positive feedback! Great motivation to get moving on my next Cosmicity album. :-)

[24okay]

What a fun cover song! 

[kitsunekappa]

im curious u look like one of the characters from the canadian show the red and green show  mark i am wondering if u ever where on that show

[cosmicity]

@kitsunekappa Nope, I wasn't on that show. Sounds like it would have been fun - I wish I was! :-)

[FreihEitner]

@kitsunekappa Actually Mark looks a lot like one of my cousins (and a fair bit like me). There used to be a picture on the Cosmicity site of Mark resting his chin in his hand -- I happened to be doing the same thing when I saw it and thought it was me being reflected in my monitor. LOL

[kitsunekappa]

werent u on the red annd green show at ever mark?? u look like the char i used to watch on it wen i was younger

[electrotech3000]

mark

you are in my top 5 of best groups

that ever lived

i just want to clarify

i did not know that synthpop existed

i searched and seeked

[cosmicity]

Wow, thank you! That's quite a compliment! I hope to keep impressing you, starting with the new Cosmicity EP I just put out, followed by the stuff I have coming out later this year. :-)

[eehbiertje]

nice cover :D of a great song :)

[cosmicity]

Thank you so much. :-)

[Fabiomueller1655]

Super

[cosmicity]

Thanks!

[electrotech3000]

@cosmicity

[PopSuperstar]

Absolutely brilliant! The song AND the video.

[cosmicity]

Thanks very much! I appreciate that.

[synthetikiss]

Hehe, I love it!!! :D This song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw the video. I think we have the same synthesizer that you're using in this video, it's hard to tell though.

[dirtyelectronic]

So glad you like this. :-) I bet you do have the synth - it's just a MicroKorg - it's a very common synth, particularly among bands that play live 'cause it's so small and portable.

[NikmansOo]

Great song!

I tried to link this to a friend yesterday I think (might be the day before) but it said the video was taken down due to copyrights?

Kind of strange, since it's the artist himself who put it here? Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Or a MANIAC? Who knows

[cosmicity]

Huh, that's weird. Because it absolutely does not infringe on any copyrights. I paid for the rights to cover this song, so it's completely legal. Sorry you had trouble with that. Not sure who to even complain about this to at YouTube. :-/

[NikmansOo]

It seems to have been just some random youtube fluke, haven't had any trouble since.

[neurolepsia]

Kick ASS.

[cosmicity]

Thanks!  :-)

[DarkDJCloud]

Awesome cover!!! That's as best as I can put it! Even the video is epic XD hope that dance becomes quite popular haha.

~DJ Dark Cloud

[Araxii]

i don't want a synth.. but i really want a clone haha XD

[johnyboy21sucka]

very succesfull video guys keep up that good work and u will go all the way up

[rinabell83]

Brilliant!

I wish more musicians had budgets as big as yours for their videos so we could see more videos of such stellar quality. :)

[cosmicity]

Hey, not every musician makes the kind of MAD CASH that I do. Sucks to be them, 'cause my videos is sweet. ;-)

[Vtripp]

you are a magical man and that is my new favorite dance

[cosmicity]

Thanks! (I fully expect that dance to take off and become an international phenomenon.)

[astonmon]

Now that is a complete masterpiece cover. I love your music and style Mark! Keep it up..

Alone is one of my favourite songs ever. Would be so cool to see it here on youtube =)

[cosmicity]

Hey, thanks. So glad you like it.

I'd be happy to put up "Alone", only I don't have a video for it. Videos are tougher to make than songs, I tell ya! (Tougher for me, at least.)

[johnj28]

Mark,

That was classic! Not sure if anyone has told you, but I feel you have a bit of Wierd Al's personality. Not an insult. I love it! I loved the DVD on EP42! Keep it up!

[cosmicity]

Musician with a sense of humor... yeah, I guess I can see the comparison. :-) Then again, hopefully the majority of my repitoire isn't viewed the same way. Maybe Foo Fighters would be a better comparison? Music with some substance, but often humor in my videos and presentation? (Granted, this cover song isn't gushing with meaning, but I like to think many of my other tracks are!)

[johnj28]

Mark, I wasn't trying to slight your talent in any way. I was just saying that your mannerisms and humor remind me of Wierd Al! He is also a Genius, and I do not discredit what he has accomplished! Take a look at his MySpace page! Anyway, I like what I have heard and seen from you, and I am glad you seem to enjoy life! Too many people take life way too seriously. I love the track THIS CITY!  Thanks for being you!

[cosmicity]

Oh, I totally know you weren't trying to slight me. No worries at all. It just got me thinking about comparisons and I came up with Foo Fighters. :-) Weird Al is a very clever guy. I don't mind the comparison at all. Glad you like "This City"... I'm considering doing an update to it soon...

[cd2000peru]

It's a 5 star cover!, congratulations.

A question: Did 'Keep me in mind' song have a video???.. it's a classic one.

Regards from Lima!

[cosmicity]

Thank you! Answer: A video was never made for "Keep Me In Mind". That song goes all the way back to 1994 before I had much money for anything - but I'm really glad you're still enjoying it!

[FuMyTiKo]

great cover ^^

[cosmicity]

Thank you very much. So glad you like it. :-)

[earthreuniting]

I want that synth.

[cosmicity]

You could totally get it... it's not expensive at all. ;-)

-m

[earthreuniting]

It looks like that Korg/vocoder, oh I can't think of the name right now but I've been wanting to get one for sometime now. The one I'm thinking about is around $400 so yeah that's very affordable. I like your remake a lot as well as all of your other work.

[cosmicity]

Thanks very much! And yes, it's a MicroKorg, which is $399 brand new... even cheaper used.

[earthreuniting]

You are very welcome! I will have to go out and get that synth.

[FreihEitner]

At least unlike most music videos on YouTube Mark actually recorded the song he's spazzing to. Well done.  Four thumbs up (huh?!) from a long-time Cosmicity fan.

[kiddsock]

Ahhhh FLASHbacks to the 80's! NICE!!

[musosf]

Nice!!! Cool cloning effect you got going there - very smooth. And now I'm off to Amazon to get my hands on this shiny plastic thing...
