Pointed satire and off-color humor from a slightly twisted singer-songwriter.

notes

Mark Silverman is a big, goofy jew who writes (mostly) funny songs. "Gogglefogger" is a huge leap forward from his low-fi, home-recorded debut album, "Medieval People". It's filled with smart, funny, and sometimes profane songs about Jesus, pornography, and killing the president (did I mention this was satire?).

The word "gogglefogger" was used by the flying aces of the First World War. When engaged in dogfights, they often played loud music from the 8 track player in the cockpit of their biplanes (this was before mp3s!). When the music was really, really good, it would fog up their goggles and send them to their deaths.

The word is NOT "google" fogger! How the heck would you fog up google? That doesn't even make sense.

    This CD is a lot of fun, for anyone who likes funny songs and piss takes about almost everything most people consider sacred. However, one of my favourite tracks is My Girlfriend Is A Puzzle, a unique song amongst the collection which Mark sings with uncharacteristic mellowness, but as always, clearly so we can hear every word (the guy doesn't shy away from letting you know what he thinks). Although I adore the funny songs, I hope he writes more like this beautiful piece. And Corporate Rockers is also wonderful, with a rather somber arrangement which surprisingly suits the tone of the song. I want to mention Accidental Song as well, but you'll buy it anyway and realize how great that is too, so there's no need really.
