In 2007, we sold out of my first four albums. Faced with a monumental cost to repress them all, we instead opted to released a compilation of fan favorites. The tracklist was voted on by some close friends and big Marc With a C fans. The resulting compilation was titled “What The Hell Is Wrong With Marc With a C?”. The order of the chosen tracks was edited by myself and Chris Zabriskie, but wasn’t done with any real continuity in mind. We just thought it was like a really good Marc With a C mixtape.
In 2008, an 16 year old fan of mine named Sami wrote a synopsis of how she’d turn said compilation into a musical for a school project. I was incredibly flattered, and thought the whole idea was adorable as all-get-out… and she’s given her blessing to allowing me to repost it here for you all to read. So, without further ado, I’d like to present…
Well, we survived a two-week promo push for Linda Lovelace For President! Yay!
In those two weeks, we did more interviews than I can count - seriously, I lost track - and one of those is posted for you to read on the Press page. I felt a little more comfortable during that one because a fan was asking the questions, so I’m a bit more loose than I usually am in print. Go check it out!
We also played two different sets at this year’s Nerdapalooza Fest - one solo, one with Chris - and… fuck. That might just be my favorite event I’ve ever done. Every single act was worth watching, and I discovered this cat from New Jersey named Sudden Death that absolutely blew me away. Said man also runs a fun little podcast and played “Life’s So Hard” on it this past week, as well as interviewing the gobstopping Captain Dan. I could go on about Nerdapalooza for days, (and I probably will, if you ask me in person), but I wanted to thank the promotors, sponsors and organizers in public for putting on one of the best things I’ve ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Amazing job, guys.
If you’ll click on the Records page, you’ll find that I’ve uploaded a few more mp3’s for your listening pleasure. We’ve also linked to a few clips from the Linda Lovelace For President DVD, in case you haven’t seen them yet!
Life is okay. I’m not in jail, I (mostly) have my health, and there’s lots more on the horizon. Thank you all so much for everything… and keep your eyes open for exciting news soon. More press, tour dates and other sundries are on their way!
The headline doesn’t lie. My new CD/DVD, Linda Lovelace For President, is now available for order. You can get it by clicking on the icon in my MySpace profile, or by ordering it from the “records” page tight here at www.marcwithac.com.
Now, sure. You can download the album from www.amazon.com or Itunes, but then you’d be missing out on the 23-song DVD that comes with the whole shebang.
It’s been a lot of work to get this album - and especially the DVD - out and in your hands. We want you to enjoy it, watch it, listen to it, cuddle with it at night, roll around with it, etc. Please?
Love on ya,
Marc
PS: Don’t forget about the Nerdapalooza shows on Thursday and Friday! After that, you may experience a bit of a radio silence, but I wouldn’t be frightened by it… especially since you’ll have the new album to tide you over
What a fun show we had on Sunday night. A really beautiful crowd - complete with an audience member that was consistently louder than the band - and a hard-to-beat setlist made things really enjoyable.
Ryan Price recorded the show for us, and if all parties are willing, I’d really like to make portions of this show available for you guys. As previously stated, Chris and I co-headlined the show, and it was exactly the type of fun I needed as life has gotten pretty heavy lately. I cannot thank you guys enough for everything.

On 6/25/08, Marc With a C and Chris Zabriskie appeared on the Serious Business radio show on 91.5, WPRK in Orlando, FL. Both parties had such a good time on the show that they want it to be available for posterity. The show was hosted by Logan Donahoo and his friend Juan. Read on »
