A Man, A Plan, A Piano: Mallman

Posted at 9:01 AM on September 11, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis

He's been tickling the ivories for years now--well, tickling is not exactly the right word. Suddenly Mark Mallman has hit saturation rotation, at least among Twin Cities music writers. Our favorite piece so far was written by Mallman himself, who provided the Pioneer Press with a back-to-school narrative about his five favorite shows ever. Quoth Mallman:

"I dove into the first [24-hour performance] Marathon, thinking 'total absurdity,' and was handed 'rock shamanism.' What I like about rock music is that no matter how 'deep' the experience becomes, nobody expects you to be Stephen Hawking or Simone de Beauvoir. At the end of the day, I'm just some dude in a van with shaggy hair."

Dude has mastered the QWERTY keyboard, too!
