Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

There will definitely be some Vs & Ws Kris but X, Y & Z won’t have much I’m guessing. So are you going to start planning out shows again after a few years of the alphabet when nothing new was about? I’ve enjoyed the journey through the 45 boxes so that wasn’t a criticism just curious.

Hiya Mr. Holmes, everyone. I found in area store cheapie bins 2 different Christmas Muzak LPs, and the James Last Christmas record. Figured I’d report that here.

Not sure actually Matt, maybe start again & hit alternates by artists since I'm only playing one by everyone. Theme shows are such a commitment. Or maybe it's a good time to finish the show?
  10:24pm

Finish the show?!?!
Bah! Start going thru the LPs, one track per side! Then repeat!

Re: Holiday tunes - we have people over for cookie decorating, I try to find stuff not heard on local commercial radio to keep it interesting. Note I didn’t say “good”, but “interesting” - though I spin good stuff, too!
  10:35pm
JtotheK:

Re: LPs - I’ve been opposite lately! Cutting down on “mid or less” 45s via local store trade and getting back to LPs. Though now I have to organize LPs and likely find a bunch to get outta here. Pruning.

As long as you’re not sick of it, you should keep going. This show is one of my favorite discoveries for 2023, to the point that I wish I got hip to it sooner! Just my own thoughts but it seems to me that you’ve built up something special here.

Kris - What era rap LPs? I was surprised at how desirable late 80s early 90s stuff is going for. And then some early 2000’s stuff that didn’t have large press runs initially.

Re: hip hop & books - been seeing some recent-ish books I want to read. Including about hip hop & sampling; late 90s/early 2000s instrumental hip hop (which for a time I was into and then went away from but now that I’m so incredibly old would like to get back into especially as I like furniture music more and more).
