Mark Silverman

I know that country music is on the decline and many people who still enjoy it couldn't tell a wiki from a forum or a blog from a hole in the ground.

Nonetheless, I have found an artist worthy of the label "oddio". Mark Silverman has written many songs you wouldn't want to show to, say, your grandparents ("Slut Song", "Porno Burger", "The Killing-The-President Song") or anyone religious ("Jesus Loves Everyone", with the refrain "except for you", or "Put Your Faith In Jesus", with the chorus "But Jesus doesn't work", or "LMAOIH", which includes the line "I'll be Laughing My Ass Off In Heaven, while all of you Christians are burning in Hell". Seriously, if you're unsure now, don't even bother).

However, if you enjoy your music with a twist of sour irony, you'll find none better than the spectacular guitar styling of a country-western artist without any country-western connotations.

P.S.: Listen to "The Cute Little Puppy Dog Song". If you play guitar, you can find the chords somewhere on the site. I forget where.
