Dark Mark is a Los Angeles based comedian. He is the host of The Dark Mark show on Renegade Radio and The Dark Mark Variety show in Los Angeles. These are the #Fave5 songs he brought in to share the soundtrack to his life!
BOB SEGER “You’ll Accompany Me”
Kid Rock sampled this for his acoustic intro of “Amen,” off his Rock and Roll Jesus Album. Frankie Ballard, a contemporary country star, laid down a more rockin’ version of the song in 2016 for his album, El Rio.
ANGELS AND AGONY “Forever”
The record label, Metropolis Records, liked the band because, even though the music can be dark and melancholic, but still danceable, the songs have a very positive message. Singer Reinier Kahle said “I’m just not the guy to write songs, singing ‘fuck’ 116 times in 4 minutes or singing I’d like to cut up my bitch or what have you.”
MY BLOODY VALENTINE “To Here Knows When”
From their second album “Loveless,” which was such a huge success and the epitome of the new genre called Shoegazing, they scored a deal with Island Records for a follow up album. Much of their advance was wasted on building an unsatisfactory studio, and the pressure to make another masterpiece proved to be too much for singer, Kevin Shields. Rumors say that he locked himself away for years in a house surrounded by barbed wire, with only chinchillas to keep him company. Their follow up came 22 years later n 2013.
ADDICTED 2 FICTION “After Dark”
This is an all girl electronic dark wave band from Brooklyn, NY and now live in Los Angeles.
PETER MURPHY “Indigo Eyes”
A British artist, raised Catholic, converted to Sufi Islam in the early 90’s. He married choreographer Beyhan Faulkes, a Turkish woman in 1982 and had 2 kids with her before moving to Turkey. Murphy’s big scandal came in 2013, when he was driving his manager’s Subaru Forester, crashed it into another car in Los Angeles. He drove off, got stopped 6 miles away by a driver who followed him. He was also charged with driving under the influence and possession of meth. He was sentenced to 3 years probation, 10 days community service and 45 days of Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
