Versena / Bass

Marcus

Marcus. Bass. I like it when I feel the music in my chest before I can properly hear it.

34 years old

Taurus. I don't follow it, but I like the part where they recommend eating well and getting comfortable.

Marcus — Looking at a dinosaur in a museum
Dinosaurs. Need I say more?

Away from the stage

On repeat

Favorite film

Jurassic Park. Dinosaurs. I could elaborate, but I'd be hiding the main argument.

Favorite series

Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's what I put on when I want to laugh and spend time with people I like.

Outside metal

Stevie Wonder. Sometimes I replay the same song three times to follow different instruments. On the fourth, I just sing along.

Marcus — Training with a dumbbell
One at a time.

Small pleasures

Favorite food

Really spicy curry with rice. I like cooking, too. My measure for garlic tends to be ‘a little more’.

Guilty pleasure

Videos of people restoring rusty tools. I've found myself rooting for a bench vise. When it worked again, I was genuinely happy.

A hill I’ll die on

“You should be able to lie down on a sofa. If I need to sit up straight, I already have a chair.”

Marcus — Preparing garlic in the kitchen
Just a little more garlic.

The little things

A habit

I read the entire manual. Including the part about the appliance I didn't buy.

Terrible at…

Drawing. My dog, my horse and my cow are the same animal with different labels.

A time I messed up

I insisted on carrying all the bags at once. Turned down help, of course. A handle snapped and a jar of sauce opened in the doorway. I went to get a cloth, came back and everyone was already cleaning. Accepting the help I turned down would have been a lot less work.

How the band would describe me

That I get things sorted and that my laugh arrives before I do. I hope they remember to invite me along for the bad ideas, too. I like being part of things.

Marcus — between songs
Marcus — Dancing at a party
I can put the manual down, too.
