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.

That Humming Bird track was SO late '60s Midwest

Nope, work trip. Long days! Looking forward to relaxing during the program.

yes it is but i didn't want to slow this set down lol

Solomon Burke! Kris bringing the A game!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
Franco Twinkie:

Humming Bird reminded me of this garage band called Siddhartha from my neighborhood when I was a teenager. A bunch of high school drop outs who would jam all day and occasionally play in the park.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
WR:

JtotheK, if you indulge, hope you have some nice tequila with which to wind down the day.
  10:31pm

Or Irish whiskey.

Solomon Burke sounded like R.B. Greaves with a little extra grit.

oh man, i can't stand RB Greaves
Avatar 10:34pm

How come? I know nothing other than the couple pop charting tracks.
  10:35pm
Carmichael:

Ha ha, do tell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Franco Twinkie:

There is this clip from some variety show of RB Greaves singing Take A Letter Maria. He is sitting on a desk in an office set that is really cheap and thrown together looking. it's sort of great in a cornball way.
  10:40pm
Carmichael:

He also did Always Something There to Remind Me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
Little Danny:

Crisp drums! This is very nice indeed
Avatar 10:44pm
still b/p:

I just saw that! The tape recorder he's dictating into then self-destructs a la Mission Impossible.
"Take A Letter, Maria" only and always struck me as an E-Z conceived, consciously depthless, catchy pop thing, dwelling somewhere between Tony Orlando and Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. Didn't know it might stir hard judgments.

i sure hope i fixed the skips in this Miles 45..........

sounds so good on 45 though otherwise argh
Avatar 🥁 10:49pm
Kris Holmes:

i only recently delved into Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose because I'd never really paid any attention before last year, I really like the 45s I have now.

I like the dance scene in blackkklansman that features a cornelius bros sister rose track.

Franco Twinkie:

And this happened at the bus stop?
Avatar 10:53pm
still b/p:

CB&SR bring portable radios to mind. And even as a kid I thought the word repetition in the chorus lyrics of the two big hits was interesting as their "thing."
Avatar 🥁 10:53pm
Kris Holmes:

best bus stop story ever!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00pm
Franco Twinkie:

At the very end of the movie Bus Stop, Marilyn Monroe is wiggling down the street and some old bag asks the bus driver - "Is That A Movie Star?" The seen it all bus driver says - "Lady, that's nobody." Ha! was he wrong!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:04pm
Little Danny:

What do you use to fix skips, Kris?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:06pm
Franco Twinkie:

..And featuring The Devils Angel Singers!
Avatar 🥁 11:07pm
Kris Holmes:

a mixture of different weights & running the stylus back & forward, maybe smooth with my fingernail, it's hit or miss
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Franco Twinkie:

Some of the greatest lame-ass playing ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Little Danny:

Yeah I do the stylus thing too. Definitely mangled some grooves that way but it's been the most effective method ultimately
Avatar 11:12pm

Hah, greatest lame-ass playing. Ya got your glam rock and ya got yer GLAP rock
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20pm
Franco Twinkie:

Isn't there some kind of an ointment you can use on these problematic records?
Avatar 🥁 11:23pm

i don't know of one unfortunately

Lucky man. I scratch my back with a big cooking spoon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm

Can we get any more juice out of those oranges if we sit on them?
Avatar 🥁 11:50pm

maybe if we twist them?
