Mark Chadbourne Music
Intelligent, emotional, brutal, beautiful: "Broken Meats" showcases basic alternative/pop rock developed out of traditional rock, pop, gospel, classical, folk, jazz, blues, world music and avante garde approaches. It is apparent that Chadbourne knows what he wants and knows how to get it across. There is more than a good tune in these songs. Chadbourne exhibits a philosphy behind his music, lyric and arrangements which broadens the meaning of popular music.
Melody, harmonics and atmosphere are cleverly developed so that the music has a familiarity without being trite or cliche. Curiously fresh, Chadbourne's sense of melody is remarkable for its ability to stay with the listener. Lyrics are playful, intelligent and have a brutal emotional and intellectual honesty, with wit and insight in a humorous sense. The rhythmic sensibilities range from primal pounding to a fluidity that delights and suprises at the least expected moment.
"Broken Meats" is a showcase of the history of pop music presented in a fresh intimate way. Listeners have described the album as "intensely intimate" and as an "exposed inner private world, shared without reservation".
Now available for purchase The mp3 album "Broken Meats" and the singles/Maxi-Singles "Cross My Heart And Hope To", "Graveyard", "At Loggerheads", "Love Has Sinned Against Me" & "Trash It!" exclusively at Soundclick.com

I had a fabulous nurse today. Checked him out for you. 57 with an Irish backgorund and a wife. Sorry. He took great care of me. Care for a chocolate covered anti imflamitory?
I saw the televised version of it, thought it was good, didn't know there was a bonus section. I'm still hoping that he and Billy Joel will come to Halifax with this upcoming tour.
