| And on top of that he's pretty darn gorgeous to say the least, so this page has been put together to pay tribute to the utter sexiness of the coolest man ever to be named mark! |
| "The best time for me to write is when the whole world is completely still - when I look out of the window and everyone else�s lights are off and you just feel like the only person still awake. I like that, that sense of calm. I go to bed about four in the morning. If there are people around me, I just won�t do any work. I need isolation to focus my thoughts" |
"The people who like us know that we're one of the best around at what we do...so they hold us quite close. But I don't like to think that there's this body of people out there who're just like this faceless monster, sitting at home, twiddling their thumbs waiting for the next Bluetones gig. It's not like that, it's just we do instill a loyalty in people because once you get into our music there's no getting out of it!" "
"Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, its a pretty good one . . .and you can quote me on that."
"Well, we are very trainspottery about the music we love. We're very passionate about it. We talk about it all the time, we talk about music we're listening to 90 per cent of the time and the other ten per cent is music we want to make. We had very definite ideals about what makes a perfect band and it was based on The Smiths, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and Talking Heads..."
As you're such a film buff, out of all the films you own which one would you have liked to star in as the leading lad. . .or lady,(I'm not prejudiced!). . .and why ? "Billy Liar. Because Tom Courtenay get's to machine - gun his family, write a song for the local dance-a-rama and run away from Julie Christie. What more could you ask for ?" I asked that too.
On a philosophical note. . . "I do miss the cat . I get very maternal about Neville. It's like he's my child sometimes, when he comes and sleeps next to me. Do you remember that story we got told in school about King Solomon? How his wife smothered their baby by accident? I get paranoid like that about Neville: but there'd be no King Solomon to sort that one out, would there?"
Sadly I have been to all of the Bluetones gigs that I'd had lined up since then but what devillishly fine gigs those were! Reading festival may have gone but it won't be forgotten, as even though I think I lost my lungs in the mosh pit during Limp Bizkit, The memory of Mark asking everyone to tell him if his trousers were stuck in his shoes will be something that stays with me forever.
Even better then Reading, especially on an ogling (Such a strong word.) - Mark front, was the completely fantastically amazingly brilliant gig that they played here in Bristol on the 27th ! ! ! He was in full ego mode and looking very nice in a suit, . . although what was the whole Anthea Turner thing about ?! Anyway, it was an amazing night and I caught a glimpse of him before the show slinking down some stairs carrying a spa bag. I'm not sure why I felt the need to mention the spa bag , I apologise.

Okay, you're never going to see anyone who looks better in a butchers outfit then him, (or in any other outfit for that matter). . .
And aswell as being able to do a rather classy Neil Young impression he writes very decent songs and does equally decent covers of other peoples,
- Not that his amazing talents stop there because he also posesses the rare quality of having good taste in films. . .that's right. . .films!
Of course, the most vital thing to mention here is the mind blowingly important fact that he has, and will always have, the best damn eyebrows in the music industry today ! . . And surely having a John Holmes realistic cock stashed under his bed can't be a bad thing , Can it ? .
Who could ask for more from an uncomplicated infatuation ?!!
You have to love him!. . . . . . . . well , you don't have to . .
But if you don't you'd better like his brother ! !
I believe that this page carries a message that we can all learn from.
