			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, many of you young and hip internet people (yes, <em>you </em>with your shiny MacBook and your tall, nonfat decaf latte, wearing a black turtleneck sweater)  out there have probably already seen the videos of one Mark Gormley. The thing is, those young and hip internet people don&#8217;t come here much. They only visit this site to show others how things on the web should <em>not </em>look. </p>
<p>So for all the other people out there that do visit this site, my fellow internet losers, let me explain what Mark Gormley is all about.</p>
<p>I first saw his masterpiece <em>Without You</em> about 2 weeks ago, laughed about it but found myself playing it over and over again. Seriously.</p>
<p>Mark looks a bit like your average science teacher. Or if you prefer, your average normal white guy, age 45plus with a moustache. He seems not to care too much about his appearance and ist just doing his thing. More or less, he appears to  have given up on any sorts of prospects for the foreseeable future and is recording his songs and putting them out there for all of us to see as a hobby to disctract from a boring life. At least that is my interpretation of him. Or in short, he&#8217;s a bit like Carl from <em>Aqua Teen Hunger Force</em>, but with a musical talent. </p>
<p>The videos themselves have little production value, mostly greenscreen with some cheapo effects and miserable CGI pulled from the archive of an old Amiga 500. Now, of course, this is just my interpretation and has by no means any validity. Like anything I say, really.</p>
<p>So that you know what I am talking about, let&#8217;s have a look at <em>Without You</em>. This is my favourite Mark Gormley song so far. </p>

<p>Now that you have seen that, what do you think? Is he a menacing predator or a nice guy?</p>
<p>Actually, he is a nice guy. After his videos on Youtube took off, unlike many other internet &#8220;stars&#8221; that go viral, Mark Gormley stays down to Earth (although he goes into space in many of his videos) and comes across as a rather nice guy. See here:</p>

<p>Godspeed, Mr Mark Gormley!</p>
