Question Mark - Man or Martian?

Posted with tags Question Mark, 96 Tears, Don Was, Detroit All Star Revue, Concert of Colors, Mars, Dinosaurs on 12/1/2009 7:04:26 AM by Dan Grgas



It's been said he was born on Mars...

That he has walked with dinosaurs in a prior life... 

That he has heard voices telling him that he will be singing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000...

Geez.  Don't wanna wait till then?  Neither did we.  Check out Question Mark perform his pioneering garage rock anthem "96 Tears" at the 2009 Detroit All Star Revue with our very own Don Was on bass.

There's no question about it.  Question Mark can rock.

FREE COUNTRY, FREE MUSIC



Happy 4th!

The method to our madness at My Damn Channel has always been simple. We put independent artists we love & trust in charge of their own channels to bring you free comedy & music.

Don Was conjured up mighty free magic with the release of "Stand by Me," a new version of the Ben E. King classic - made for the people of Iran - by Iranian superstar Andy, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks, Don Was & friends. 

"Stand by Me" is only one week old today and we're closing in on the first million views worldwide! THANK YOU for sharing this song and video and free mp3 and for moving it across continents and into Iran.

Here's the first, in-depth interview with Don about how this all came about by Nicole Sandler.  (giving me trouble on IE - fine on Safari?! - must need more beer)

Nicole has one of the most impressive careers in radio. She's broadcast on some of the best music radio stations across the country. A true music fan with fine taste. You can find Nicole talking music, politics and more on Air America and we also recommend her blog at RadioOrNot.com.

Nicole spoke with Don Was about putting together the "Stand by Me" project - about Was (Not Was) - and about creating, producing and curating the Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music here on My Damn Channel.


LOOK WHO'S IN THE MIDDLE


6/24/09: Don Was, Richie Sambora, Andy Madadian, HIM, Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks

Most people know us for bringing the laffs. Don Was is the man that brings the music to My Damn Channel.

We've been in awe of the way his latest inspired idea has taken off in the past 48 hours.

"Stand by Me" is spreading like wild. THANK YOU ALL for turning this idea into action. And thank you for getting this inside Iran.

Media coverage is insane. There are soulful responses pouring in from emails, tweets, calls, facebook, video comments, the YouTube community, and every site taking this free video and mp3 and making the music move.
 
We just watched & stopped the video at 1:12 & found the MYSTERY & well...the funny.

Look who's in the middle! Look how many people are in the photo. Let 'the Kevin Bacon game' begin.

DON WAS TURNS AN IDEA INTO ENERGY

The Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music is the place where Don brings you music you won't hear anywhere else.

Our Donfather called a few nights ago, with an inspired idea.

The result & the video is on your screen now.

Please share this - post this - email this link.

No money is being made on this & you can get a free mp3 download on Don's channel too.
