1981 Housekeeping

Mark Gillespie

Sweet Nothing

Genre: Rock

3.5 out of 5 

Highlights:

Rivers of Blood

Do you like Dire Straits but hate all that overblown noodling? Love that ponderous mid tempo sound of Pink Floyd but wish they sang about love and heartbreak?

Look no further than Mark Gillespie. 

And if you’re jonesing for that 70s wannabe funk sound, he’s got some of that, too!

I want to ask how this guy got a contract but at the same time I really don’t care.

Only Human

Genre: Rock

4.25 out of 5

Highlightws:

Shake It

Small Mercy

Black Angel

Bad Scene

Another in a long line of musicians who took their cues from David Bowie and, sort of, Robert Palmer with a lot of Lou Reed mixed in (see; “Suicide Sister”).

This is filled with talented musicians jamming to the spines of pretty ok songs that trace their lineage to the Velvets. Would work in a small venue on a Friday night.
