MarkB's Basses, Shaves & Other Obsessions

[MarkB]

Alright Mark, I'm going to have to put you on unpaid leave as my personal DJ if you keep this crap up!

I'm trying to broaden your musical horizons, man. Embrace the new! There's a lot of great music out there!!

That is true. And there's this stuff too!

Thought some of you "oldies" / Motown lovers would enjoy this.

Video: What Makes Motown Sound Like Motown?

We studied the players, the gear, the recording techniques, and assembled a killer band. Can we recreate the Motown sound?

I was leaving the office to go home for lunch when this lovely lady from 1955 pulled into the "greasy spoon" next door!!

Chyeah! Surf tunes!

Time for some "workplace" afternoon delight. AeroPress FTW!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend!

Today's "Morning Music" brought to you by one of my favorite drummers, Simon Phillips. Here he is with Ray Russell on guitar and Anthony Jackson (The Man!) on bass with "Cosmos".

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Alright, sounds like WKMRK is back on track!

 

[Patelliott]

How does Stirling Spice smell in relation to Old Spice aftershave?

How does Stirling Spice smell in relation to Old Spice aftershave?

TBH, I've never tried actual Shulton-era Old Spice so I can't comment on that but, with regards to the Indian Old Spice, it's a pretty good match.

 

[MarkB]

If you mean the modern version, it's completely different. Stirling is more "spice" whereas modern Old Spice to me is more powder.

Good morning all! Hope you're having a wonderful day.

On this edition of WMRK's "Morning Music" let's take a trip back to 1983 with ex Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant's second solo album; The Principle of Moments... Those who were around at that time may remember the album's hit "Big Log" but I'm going with the song "In The Mood". If you've never checked out this album, I can't recommend is enough! It goes down as one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Thanks @NurseDave, you too.

 

[MilkCrate]

Hard to believe that was 1983 ... man.

 

[GearNoir]

Skin Bracer, yes!

Never, knowingly, listened to Plant’s solo work. Interesting. Today’s selection was not my cup of tea I guess
