It's been said he was born on Mars...
That he has walked with dinosaurs in a prior life...
That he has heard voices telling him that he will be singing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000...
Geez. Don't wanna wait till then? Neither did we. Check out
Question Mark perform his pioneering garage rock anthem
"96 Tears" at the 2009 Detroit All Star Revue with our very own
Don Was on bass.
There's no
question about it. Question Mark can rock.

Those 3 tired words are decades old but Hollywood hopes they help you fall in love
with new shows.
We put quotes around our "new fall season" - knowing we can't fool you into love - but hoping it feels just a little funnier that way.
In two years, we’ve birthed 25 channels of music and comedy…working with
artists we love. We think you’ve taught us how to get talent and new
series worthy of your evil eye.
Help us buy another bag of chips for lunch!

Happy 4th!
The method to our madness at My Damn Channel has always been simple. We put independent artists we love & trust in charge of their own channels to bring you free comedy & music.
Don Was conjured up mighty free magic with the release of "Stand by Me," a new version of the Ben E. King classic - made for the people of Iran - by Iranian superstar Andy, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks, Don Was & friends.
"Stand by Me" is only one week old today and we're closing in on the first million views worldwide! THANK YOU for sharing this song and video and free mp3 and for moving it across continents and into Iran.
Here's the first, in-depth interview with Don about how this all came about by Nicole Sandler. (giving me trouble on IE - fine on Safari?! - must need more beer)
Nicole has one of the most impressive careers in radio. She's broadcast on some of the best music radio stations across the country. A true music fan with fine taste. You can find Nicole talking music, politics and more on Air America and we also recommend her blog at RadioOrNot.com.
Nicole spoke with Don Was about putting together the "Stand by Me" project - about Was (Not Was) - and about creating, producing and curating the Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music here on My Damn Channel.

Most people know us for bringing the laffs. Don Was is the man that brings the music to My Damn Channel.
We've been in awe of the way his latest inspired idea has taken off in the past 48 hours.
"Stand by Me" is spreading like wild. THANK YOU ALL for turning this idea into action. And thank you for getting this inside Iran.
Media coverage is insane. There are soulful responses pouring in from emails, tweets, calls, facebook, video comments, the YouTube community, and every site taking this free video and mp3 and making the music move.
We just watched & stopped the video at 1:12 & found the MYSTERY & well...the funny.
Look who's in the middle! Look how many people are in the photo. Let 'the Kevin Bacon game' begin.
Keep sharing this link:

Don Was is the man behind our music on My Damn Channel.
The Wasmopolitan Cavalcade of Recorded Music is the place where Don brings you music you won't hear anywhere else.
Our Donfather called a few nights ago, with an inspired idea.
The result & the video is on your screen now.
Please share this - post this - email this link.
No money is being made on this & you can get a free mp3 download on Don's channel too.

Welcome to the rebirthing. My Damn Channel is all new.
For 21 months, we slowly built a world to co-create the best, original series with the pros that we love in film and television, music and comedy.
We crunched stats last night during our all-night reincarnation and our year-to-year comps for eyeballs are awesome. We can’t thank you enough for taking 3 or 4 or 5 minutes to be here from time to time & support the likes of Harry Shearer, Don Was, David Wain, Daily Grace, Sam Seder, Sarah Silverman, “You Suck at Photoshop” and every artist that decided to create for you here.
We gave our pros a safe haven where ‘the suits’ are never welcome. We gave our artists direct access to you – without the layers of show business bullshit that normally get in the way.
We raised less than most – we spent less than most – we’re staffed tinier than most. But when triple-digit audience growth brought big sponsors, we were finally ready to re-invest in what we hope is a much better viewing experience.
Take this baby out for a test drive – share the ride – spread the news – post our link – status update us – tweet this re-launch & let us know what you think.
DAY ONE features the season 4 premiere of WAINY DAYS. We worship David Wain. Tonight’s first-ever WAINY DAYS LIVE show is now sold out.
We just learned that the first 2 weeks of PILOT SEASON racked up over 2 million views!! You can watch the first 4 episodes now starring Sam Seder, Sarah Silverman, Andy Dick, David Cross & Isla Fisher.
Thank you for getting us this far. We’re going to continue to unleash the audacity of HBO and bring you the best stuff that outdoes the rest.

Tom Waits. Lesser world without him.
Click on his head and enjoy a music video you'd never see on the MTV. In the last century, we were shooting the pilot for ROTTEN TV. One of the early ideas was to get Johnny Rotten to 'review' music videos for his new teleee-vision show. We debated war strategies late one night and stumbled onto the idea that everyone would expect John to HATE every video. Too simple. John decided it was a good idea to actually LIKE at least ONE music video. Tom Waits was the winner.
