A 4 Minute Warning

Since I opened comments on the Man of the Moment section I have been wondering about their validity. Not that there is anything wrong with fellow fans declaring undying love for Dermot O’Leary, Mark Owen or Justin Timberlake. I had hoped, however,Mark Owen 4 Minute Warning there may also be some useful fan information that comes from opening the comments up.

I was, therefore, delighted to see the recent increase in activity on the ex-Take That member and Celebrity Big Brother winner Mark Owen’s page. It is through the comments on that section that I know Mark’s new single Four Minute Warning is out soon (in fact on 4 August 2003 for those that may have an interest in such things).

So, on the back of all this comment I ventured across to the Official Mark Owen site – where I was pleased to see there has been a major re-design and the announcement Mark will be playing the G.A.Y. club on 2nd August (why is it that anytime I want to see a band there I am always doing something else?).

Anyway, it’s very good to see that the single, Four Minute Warning, picks up where the album Green Man left off. It’s fashionable to knock the solo efforts of ex-boy band members but Green Man was a superb album. The teen music-press seemed to dismiss it as the more indie/rock sound was not quite so fashionable then amongst their market and the adult music journalists dismissed it because Mark was an ex-boy band singer. I still believe they were wrong and it sounds like the new single is very much in the same vein – perhaps a little more rounded and mature but a natural progression nonetheless.
