I DON'T WANNA FIGHT TONIGHT

2011-12-01T16:08:00.000-08:00

So, Christmas is around the corner and I decided to record a version of my favorite christmas song: "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" by the Ramones. The song was written by Joey Ramone and originally appeared on their 1989 album "Brain Drain". Look for the video - 1989 at its finest!

Here's my version! Hope you like it!

"A CAUSE WITHOUT A DEVIL" turns 3 today!

2011-09-13T00:00:00.000-07:00

Yeah, that's right. "A Cause Without A Devil" was released exactly 3 years ago today, on September 13th 2008.

If you can, take the time to listen to it today, that'd be great!

And if you don't have it yet, it's still available on this very page, on the itunes store or at HMV.

Thanks to everyone who bought it and listened to it. It means a lot to me.

Frank.

THE HIPSTER TRAP

2011-09-03T17:23:00.001-07:00

It's finally out, it's finally here! THE HIPSTER TRAP!

The idea is pretty simple. The idea is to release a vinyl record with no music on it, but with a download coupon - because vinyl records are only decorative trophies for so many people.

I'll advertise this as:

THE RECORD WITH NO MUSIC, FOR THOSE WHO WEAR GLASSES WITH NO LENSES.

Buy it now before it gets popular.

That said, vinyl records really sound good. People who like them for real, please don't be upset by this.

"COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT"

Well, that's how James Clark put it.
But here's the news, in an easy-to-read flyer.

Now, let's see how long it takes until some smart-ass asks me if I'm doing it for the money.

LISTEN TO THE "A MURDERER ON 5TH STREET" SINGLE!

2011-03-17T15:16:00.000-07:00

A lot of people asked me where they could listen to "A Murderer On 5th Street". Here it is, streaming for you!

A Murderer On 5th Street by frankmakak

Again, you can purchase the song on the itunes store or on CD Baby.

CATCHING UP ON OLD NEWS

2011-02-23T16:00:00.000-08:00

Since the old website hasn't been updated in over 2 years, I thought I'd post a couple of old news, just in case you missed a couple things.

In May 2010, I released a new single for the song "A Murderer On 5th Street". The single is available online only, on the itunes store, on CD Baby and also, for the people in the USA, on Amazon. Check it out!

In other news, my album "A Cause Without A Devil" is now available at HMV in Canada. The CD is already in stock in most HMV stores in the province of Quebec, and can be ordered in every store in Canada. So, go to your local HMV to get yourself your copy (or your second, third or fourth copy - it's alright), and if they don't have it, ask them to order it!

The album is also still available through Paypal on this very page in the online store section.

WELCOME TO THE NEW WEBSITE!

2011-01-19T21:16:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the new FRANK MAKAK official website!

Why a new website? It's pretty simple: Even though the old one really looked amazing, it was just impossible for me to update it. I've decided to switch to a blog format, so this way I'll be able to update it easily on a more regular basis.

I'd also like to take a quick minute to thank Alexandre Bergeron, who designed the old website. He did a great job on that. And I'd also like to thank Eric Collard, who put it live and gave me some advice (and God knows how I don't know much about how the web works!) A big thanks to them.

So, here it is! It's very simple, yet it's working just right. Look around, come back once in a while, and don't hesitate to let me know what you think!
