Music Only I Care About is the place to go for anything weird, forgotten and fun: Demos, Private Press, Outsider oddities and more! A little bit of odd, and a little bit of even odder, brought to you by a bespectacled bird with a lisp and a love for archiving.

Favoriting December 26, 2023: Lil' Markie Goes To Sugartown
The late Mark Fox (July 21, 1955 - November 11, 2016) recorded a series of stories featuring his Lil' Markie character called The Adventures Of Lil Markie In Sugartown. Somehow, I was able to get the entire 8-tape boxed set for under 30 dollars, and today we will hear episodes 1-6.

Happy Boxing Day, all! (Left jab, right hook)

This looks to be quite the epic. Li’l Markie’s magnum opus.

Hi there. Something inspirational for the Twixmas? Have heard tracks of Lil' Markie here and there but usually without context or re-contextualized. Will be interesting to hear a full work.

A quick web search and find little directly about Mark Fox. WFMU 2005 Beware of the Blog on Lil Markie:

Allegedly, Mark did the Markie voice in school, but I can't confirm this - I recall reading it on a Youtube comment.

I found his widow on Facebook and read his very depressing struggle with Diabetes, which he succumbed to. He lost a lot of weight in his later years.

In 1999, a smaller boxed set series was released, each set contained 4 tapes instead of the 8 tape collection I have.

You can get the 1999 repress, both volume 1 and 2, for 75 dollars on eBay now. I got my copy for really cheap. www.ebay.com...

In which a Jingle Bear puts a lot of work into being a good person only to get told he doesn't have a soul since he's a bear.

Even though I digitised this 2 and a half years ago, I have yet to rip episodes 7 and 8. Unfortunately, the boxed set is in another state, so you'll have to wait for the last two episodes.
