    A great way to ease into my Sunday, with coffee in hand. My brother and I would watch all those 'Creature Feature/Double Features' on Saturdays growing up. 'Black Lagoon' we never missed. Thanks for sharing your week, Mark! Really enjoying this new series. 😎🎶

    Frosty Blue Lemonade looks delicious! I have that Sinead and love it. The Zombies and Lennon mind games would be great to have. Excellent Tuesday footage! Glad your house didn’t get leveled. The eyeliner looked striking on you Mark. Great news on visit from your daughter.

      Thanks, Shawn! I have to turn off the fans and air conditioner when I record because they are noisy. So I was sweating like crazy and suddenly felt like doing an ad for what I was drinking. I'm looking forward to Luxy's visit!

    Is a cool series! Creature from the Black Lagoon is an important movie to me. My dad took me to see it during a rerelease in the 80s when I was a kid. Years later I got to take my dad to see it as an adult when we had an Alamo Drafthouse here. And Julie Adams! Hubba hubba!

    • @MarkMorris-1962
      @MarkMorris-1962  3 місяці тому

      That's a great story, Scott! I wish I could have seen it on the big screen. My dad did not like monster movies unless Abbot and Costello were in it. I did get to see Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein on the big screen at a horror art exhibit once, though. Julie Adams was a knockout in this movie!

    I heard Odyssey and Oracle for the first time last year. One of the people in my swimming cabal is a grip. He's a fascinating guy. Interesting retrospective. I have not (yet) read Infinite Jest. I may do so at some point.

    • @MarkMorris-1962
      @MarkMorris-1962  3 місяці тому

      I've not finished Infinite Jest, yet, either! I am hoping their discussion inspires me to give it another shot. I've at least dug it out again, and so that's a start. I am sure I was the worst grip in history! He had to keep calling me back to set because I would be outside talking to other people. I was a little surprised how boring film making was. I suppose if you were part of the cast and perfecting your craft, it would be more interesting.

    Wall to wall classics on the records, Mark! Never understand why Mind Games gets such a bad reception… Bring On the Lucie is easily one of JLs best songs.
    I’m a massive horror movie fan and grew up on Hammer movies. When my dad got home from work, he’d give me the newspapers and I’d always scour the tv pages for any horror movies that were on.
    😂 Fantastic bit of Alice Cooper there! Going above and beyond there, Mark 😂

    I’ve always wanted that Zombies album for the cover art, but it is a really great album. Raw Power is one of those iconic albums that I have never listened to. Be quiet!!!!! I love SINEAD!!!!! You bought a lot of records!!! The Lennon punch went to the Raw Power record. Commercials! That soda looked refreshing but was a strange unnatural color. OK, I need to steal that Creature board. Check your house if I ever visit you!!! I don’t have that Monsters magazine - it’s beautiful. A gaffer’s gopher! WOW - Satanic notoriety. Another thing to steal - those monster bottles! You know all the hammer women - there was a lot of boob showing! I don’t know how I feel about that. That Elsa pic is great. There’s a really handsome guy that keeps popping up. EEE - too much rain.

    • @MarkMorris-1962

      All the Hammer women were buxom! I think that was a requirement for the films. I did a full 14 minutes of this video and then realized I did not have the mic plugged in. That was bad enough, but I have to turn all my cooling devices off when I record because they are ridiculously loud. I was so damn hot while recording, I actually did a wardrobe change because my first shirt became too damp with sweat! Anyway, I wish my first take would have worked, because there were spontaneous moments when Elsa decided to visit the set and I had more patience with the heat. When I had to re-record that 14 minutes, my mood was plummeting and I was on the verge of heat stroke. I think that comes through! Anyway, thanks for always supporting my channel. That commercial was spontaneous as I was drinking blue lemonade.

I just let my fan run and my lighting is all jacked up. I discovered I need better lighting and sound, especially when I use my computer for livestreams. Sorry about your frustrations but the end result is fabulous! Waaay better than my vids. Do I need to step up my game? No!!!

    Odyssey and Oracle is a great album. I thought Sinead O’Connor’s album was decent.

    • @MarkMorris-1962
      @MarkMorris-1962  3 місяці тому +1

      With Sinead, I think it sort of matters when you're introduced to her. The first time I heard this album, I was in the perfect place in life to hear it. So, there may be an emotional attachment there, too. I'll definitely be giving the Zombies record more spins!
