Mark Gillespie - Supersonic Wednesday

Review by Peter López

Supersonic Wednesday by Mark Gillespie: A Pop Rock Odyssey That’s Not Afraid to Get Weird Let’s get one thing straight—Mark Gillespie’s Supersonic Wednesday isn’t your run-of-the-mill rock album. Released in 2006 via Germany’s Chocolate Factory (yes, like the candy but way cooler), this genre-bending gem blends pop sensibilities with raw rock energy. With a lineup of talented contributors—from Tess Wiley on backing vocals to Ralf Erkel tickling the ivories AND accordion keys—it’s got layers deeper than your grandma’s lasagna. Now, let me throw some shade before we dive in: there are a lot of tracks here. Like… too many. It feels less like an album and more like someone emptied their creative vault onto a CD. But hey, who am I to judge? Let’s break it down anyway. Standout Tracks You Won’t Forget (Even If You Try) First up is “So Damn Young.” This track slaps harder than puberty did for most of us. The guitar work from Thomas Dill is smooth yet punchy, while Mark’s vocals have that perfect mix of earnestness and sarcasm. It’s catchy enough to stick in your head but edgy enough to make you feel rebellious when humming it at the grocery store. Plus, the lyrics hit hard if you’ve ever been stuck between “I know everything” arrogance and “Wait, what’s a 401k?” confusion. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab a mic at karaoke night—even if you can’t sing worth crap. Then there’s “God Is On The Internet.” Wait, no—wait, YES. That’s actually two songs: “God Is On The Internet” AND “God Is In The Internet.” Did they run out of ideas or just really love God and Wi-Fi? Either way, these tracks are oddly fascinating. They’re quirky as hell, blending existential musings with upbeat melodies. Imagine Arcade Fire decided to write a spiritual anthem after binge-watching tech documentaries. It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. Bonus points for making me question my own internet habits halfway through. Why Should You Care? If you’re into albums that don’t take themselves too seriously, Supersonic Wednesday might be your new guilty pleasure. Sure, it has its flaws—it’s a bit all over the place, and not every track lands perfectly. But isn’t life kinda like that too? Messy, unpredictable, occasionally brilliant? Oh, and shoutout to producer Ingo Freund and mixer Matthias Fischer for keeping things cohesive despite the chaos. Also, props to video editor/director Marco Laufenberg for probably having the patience of a saint during those music video shoots. Can you imagine wrangling this much talent without losing your mind? Final Thoughts (And a Random Tangent) Listening to Supersonic Wednesday feels like hanging out with an eccentric friend who tells amazing stories but sometimes forgets where they were going with them. By the time you reach “Outtake: Musikerpolizei,” you’ll either be laughing hysterically or wondering why you didn’t stop after “Spooky.” In conclusion, this album won’t change your life, but it WILL give you something to talk about at parties. And honestly, isn’t that what art’s supposed to do? Make you think, laugh, and maybe even question whether God really is lurking somewhere in cyberspace. Now go listen—and try not to Google divine IP addresses afterward.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the album *Supersonic Wednesday* by Mark Gillespie is like a musical patchwork quilt? It blends rock and pop into a catchy pop-rock style. Released in 2006 in Germany, it features some hidden gems. The track "God Is On The Internet" appears twice—once with a tiny tweak in the title ("God Is In The Internet"). And get this: the same song also shows up as an outtake called "Documentary." Talk about giving listeners multiple perspectives on one idea! Plus, with talents like Tess Wiley on backing vocals and Ralf Erkel pulling double duty on keyboards and accordion, it’s no wonder the album has such a rich, layered sound. Fun, right?

In dieser Zusammensetzung einfach super ! Warum nicht mehr ??
Gibt´s dich eigendlich in dieser Form noch ? Kenne deine Musik von Anfang an ! Aber dieses Lied ist der Hammer, die anderen Lieder von der Live - DVD aber auch.

Hey Mark,
hope you are doing fine. We haven't seen you now for a long time in Brussels. Miss your songs while I'm selling the perfume!
