PEOPLE ARE STRANGE cover by JMARK (original recording)

[FishermanFrenzied222]

WOW! Just found this one today - EXCELLENT! I can't wait to get your autograph! Too bad we can't acually hang out... I think we could make some AWESOME music! No one understands my "weirdness"... my own "friends" don't even understand me sometimes.....The cosmos is so vast and enormous that we really don't know as much as we think we do...If you would compare the answered questions of this universe to the yet unanswered ones, it would be like comparing a protozoan to a whale... We are just dust.

[jmarkmusic]

@FishermanFrenzied222 Hey, just burned you a CD today and hopefully I'll get to the post before the end of the week. Thanks for being a fan. I share your perspective on the universe. Send me a link of your music if you have one. I'm always looking to expand my musical horizons.

[FishermanFrenzied222]

@jmarkmusic wow! Thanks so much...I'm looking forward to everything! I'm glad to see you do everything to keep your fans happy- and that you're not conceited. I am also glad to see you share the same perspective. I will try to get some of my music up as soon as I can,but I can't say exactly when that will be. I write my own songs and usually only use keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines,and even the harmonica. my friend who is an outstanding guitarist sometimes joins me.Thanks again, friend!

no funking way

[phariaz]

great video, and interesting stuff. Hey did you go on a second round on X-factor? what did you sing? is there a video? Best of Luck!

[jmarkmusic]

@phariaz They had us line up without an audience and sing for 90 seconds. I sang "Bennie and the Jets" and they cut me at that round. I'm not sure what their decision process was, and they never said why I was cut, so I can only speculate. I think it was a casting decision, personally... perhaps they had someone else in my demographic that might have appealed to a wider audience or something.

[phariaz]

@jmarkmusic Hey thanks for writing back. Well, yeah, I guess that what you do is not made for big audiences, however, you should continue doing what you do, no matter what, just enjoy, let it roll and play!

[davidhindu]

great job and amazing audition at the xfactor. I really want to see the full unedited audition. Good luck to you for everything.

[jmarkmusic]

@davidhindu Thanks! I wish they used the whole audition, too. They cut out the parts that got everybody on their feet! To fit the show narrative, I guess...

[shell888a]

Loved it Mark,Fascinating,I think better than the original,I would buy your cd,do do a longer version of creep though! xx

[jmarkmusic]

@shell888a Thanks! I'm working on getting signed to a label and releasing a full length by the end of the year! I'll keep you posted as to when it is available.

[Anabana21yeh]

Ahhh Mark keep it up, this is awesome. You have a fan in the UK :D xfactor is boring without ya.

[jmarkmusic]

@Anabana21yeh Thanks again for the support and checking out my page! Cheers!

[penwill65]

I loved your performance on Tv The Creep!! I thought it was cool as hell and im no kid..lol Im 45 I thought u was great! very artistic! i agree do another full length of creep or something like it

[jmarkmusic]

@penwill65 Thanks greatly!

[penwill65]

I loved your performance on Tv The Creep!! I thought it was cool as hell and im no kid..lol Im 45 I thought u was great! very artistic!

[myu2bchannel]

Now this is strange: I just posted a comment on Come Inside saying that it reminded me of the Doors. And now I see this. This is actually one of my favourite songs too. I really like the Doors.

[jmarkmusic]

@myu2bchannel Cool. I'm glad you approve! I'm releasing a single on itunes on Oct. 31st.

[myu2bchannel]

@jmarkmusic I may actually really buy the 3 songs and listen to them. They kind of express a lot of the drama within myself and they cheer me up. And I don't think that you look like Elephant Man at all and you are not "odd". In a way you express the architype of self expression in the age of the NET.

[sarahexa1]

hey that was pretty good.. well done on the effects.

[jmarkmusic]

@sarahexa1 Thank You Sarah! Actually, no special effects were used in this video, I'm just doing a screen recording and moving things around my screen!

[IcyOtter]

I like you.

I'm strange, too...not necessarily a bad thing. Normal is terribly overrated.

[jmarkmusic]

@IcyOtter This is how I feel! We are a lot alike!

[jmarkmusic]

@Difellior Thank you kindly, difellior!

[jericho591]

I remember your name. You are strange. I like it. Keep it up. Loved your audition on X Factor!

[jmarkmusic]

@jericho591 Thank You greatly!

[TheMilansimme]

u'll make it some how..just belive in ur self. very intersting person!

[jmarkmusic]

@TheMilansimme Thanks, I'm doing better already!

[jmarkmusic]

Ok, well, fans only still, I guess...

[jmarkmusic]

I wont add you on FB, so meet me here.

[jmarkmusic]

I feel like not enough fans are talking to me in this one spot. Reality stuff goes here. Tweets are for fun. Treat youtube like it is email for me and I will try to keep up. Email is too slow for me. Thanks!

[comoxvalleymassage]

You're welcome. I didn't email you, just wanted to make sure you got the notification. I like the idea of vinyl - tangible, retro appeal, not easily shared - but so few people have (or want) turntables. What about a CD that looks like a record? If you used Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R Spindle discs, they look like records, you could use cardboard sleeves. People could select tracks, same as selecting grooves. That way it gets played, not collected like a novelty.

[jmarkmusic]

@comoxvalleymassage Thanks! I hear there is a good place for a massage as I pass through Vancouver Island in the next year or two. I might head out to Montreal again too on my Canadian tour. I've always liked to vacation for a day or two. Ya, I'm pretty sure people will have access to all my uploads by a certain date and that is the digital release anyway. I will put a new version of COLD up as a Single on itunes. People could totally buy those blank CDs and burn it for me. I'd be very happy.

[comoxvalleymassage]

@jmarkmusic Vancouver Island is beautiful, and a lot of fun, especially in the summer. Check out Vancouver Island MusicFest - nice venue - lots of acts. There is a "CD Sales" tent and sometimes the performers sign CDs after the show.

[comoxvalleymassage]

secret: Check your email. Also, I just downloaded a bunch of Marilyn Manson because I have never heard Marilyn Manson. Any suggestions as to what the first Marilyn Manson song I hear should be?

[jmarkmusic]

@comoxvalleymassage Really good question. Yes: All of Holy Wood is a place to start. And then all the singles. Thats all I've heard.

[jmarkmusic]

Oh, I dont check email. Here and Twitter is fine. Email is clogged. But I heard what you said: "THANKS FOR THE BID ON THE RECORD"

[jmarkmusic]

anyone else have secrets or am I the only one?

[jmarkmusic]

Secret: I feel less alone today. Where are you Butthead?

[jmarkmusic]

secret: I know I'm not alone so I feel less alone. Im still feeling sex deprived.

[VeraLang]

@jmarkmusic Yikes, that was a survey, with supposed Best Buy card. Not doing it.

[jmarkmusic]

@VeraLang reread better now. lol

[jmarkmusic]

secret: I feel much better today. I got 5 hours of sleep in last night!!!

[lisabschmidt]

secret: If there is too much religious content in a course's reading assignments, I will drop a class and cite a change in my work schedule as the reason.

[jmarkmusic]

@lisabschmidt what if the religion is worshiping Zorg and humour?

[lisabschmidt]

I watched your audition about fifty times (wish they hadn't edited it). It gets stuck in your head, and it wasn't the song, it was you, your interpretation of it and that backing track that did it. Impressive!

[jmarkmusic]

@lisabschmidt Thanks Lisa!

[jmarkmusic]

:)

[jmarkmusic]

@lisabschmidt Did you get my mailing?

[OurPrivateIsland1]

Found your page due to X~Factor and made an account to post to you. You are just utterly BRILLIANT. With or without X~F - you will go far and I hope to follow you there! Hoping you make an album as I will be first in line to buy it! Just brilliant and refreshing! Thanks for making my day! <3

[jmarkmusic]

@OurPrivateIsland1 I want to make it a Vinyl Only release. I will provide cover Art, there will be two Discs and it will be a "Choose your own adventure" The inside notes will be blank and there will be skits of me with other people I like for the story. You can pretty much choose according to your mood and randomly select a groove. You will need something I don't have, a way to play vinyl.

[jmarkmusic]

@jmarkmusic 1000 limited copies presale highest bidders ligeti13@gmail.com

[jmarkmusic]

@jmarkmusic everyone else gets digital.

[OurPrivateIsland1]

@jmarkmusic Bummer. Would be smart to allow your tunes ~at first~ to be easily accessible. I very much remember vinyl (almost :P) but get your music out 'there' first then go vinyl. I would LOVE to see you change 'top 40' but your fans (and you do have them) need you 'out there' first :) Looking forward to hearing your tunes, rock on!

[jmarkmusic]

@OurPrivateIsland1 Wow! I hope you enjoy your time on youtube! THANK YOU for posting and writing such a awesome post to me!

[VeraLang]

@jmarkmusic Change your mind on that link? Nothing there man.

[VeraLang]

@jmarkmusic We know that. It's all about the edit for tv. They used comments from other days, judges wearing different clothes. They edited Josh Krajcik a la Susan Boyle. And man, you HAVE a life!

[jmarkmusic]

@VeraLang Thanks! I think I'm finding my life more and more day by day. I don't need to fully accept it as it is now, only as it might be tomorrow.

[oscarsonthepond]

So when are you going to post a full version of Creep??

[jmarkmusic]

@oscarsonthepond When someone gives me money to use a better mic.

[jmarkmusic]

@oscarsonthepond or maybe tomorrow, im pretty fucking sick and need help.

[mistymonee]

I'm a JMark FAN!

[jmarkmusic]

@mistymonee Thanks. I love this.

[lilfunkychick]

Years ago, I saw Jim Carrey on the Improv and knew instantly he would be 'somebody'. Then, I saw Brad Pitt on Thelma and Louise and saw James Dean qualities and knew he would be big. Last night, I watched you on X Factor and & had the same gut feeling! You are truly out of this world and on that planet that more people should visit! You will bring lots of smiles to people who had a bad day.. like I was, until you showed up! Thank you for bringing some much needed strangeness to my life! :D

[jmarkmusic]

@lilfunkychick You are welcome. I'm not feeling so well tonight.

[VeraLang]

@lilfunkychick That planet is called "Genius" tough to get there and visit, but so much fun to watch.

[jmarkmusic]

@VeraLang secret: That's what Simon said!!!! How are you Vera?

[YoungPianoman]

You have an amazing voice and style!



[jmarkmusic]

@YoungPianoman I love you too, brosephus.

[comoxvalleymassage]

You are fkn amazing.

[jmarkmusic]

@comoxvalleymassage Thats really nice of you to say guy who likes to use last.fm

[VeraLang]

X factor awesome!

[jmarkmusic]

@VeraLang VeraLang Awesome

[jmarkmusic]

My main critiques are that there is no part where the voice lines up with me singing the lyrics and the squeeky chair is annoying. I might need to remix it so it breathes a bit better. It would be cool if I had more than $200 in my bank account or a bunch of people to help where I fall short on my vision due to exhaustion and burnout.

[ise1880]

This was pretty cool.

[jmarkmusic]

@ise1880 Thanks!
