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.

Make sure to check out my friend’s exhibit. Think it will be in the grandstand to the right if you go in the main entrance from the track. I know it has something to do with Puerto Rico but never really pressed her for details. Figured I’d see it in person and then talk with her about it.

I haven't 'pruned' LPs in a while, in part because I've been more intentional with what I've been buying. But I hear you Kris on the space to keep it all, and how frequently some of the records in a collection will actually be listened to!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I won’t actually be here for the second weekend Candy. For a variety of reasons decided to move out of my apartment at the end of the month and go to NY for the summer. Not sure what’s next after but open to coming back after a break.

Enjoy the spring cleaning Andrew
Avatar 10:32pm
Kris Holmes:

My LPs are always getting chopped & sent to the shop. Probably a big cull every 2-3 months. I keep it pretty tight at around 2000 LPs. Can't fit more than that, so when something is filed something else has to get unfiled.

JtotheK:

Yes, enjoy it Andrew!

It's actually pretty stressful for me to get rid of them because at this point they're all good & none are bad :(

Kris Holmes:

At one point I had 10000 LPs when I was between marriages. Glad it's not out of control like that anymore

JtotheK:

I think there was a record fair recently, one that has moved from venue to venue in the past decade. I haven't been to one in ages, but used to have decent luck finding "medium rare" records or cheap (but good) common records. Slowing down on buying has meant I've slowed down pruning.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm
JtotheK:

↳ Kris Holmes @10:33
I still have plent of 'mediocre' LPs that I've kept around, 1 trackers or stuff that was sampled by hip hop groups. At some point I likely should go through some of that stuff again.

When I had a lot in the house, they were upstairs actually bowed the floor & the doors wouldn't close on the 2nd floor anymore.

Yep! Already had a nice time this afternoon chatting with Patrick and Pat from Schizophonics. They were the first to arrive. We hung out for a couple of hours and had Whataburger from across the street. I rarely ever eat fast food like that, but Whataburger isn't too bad.

↳ Kris Holmes @10:34
Don't think I've ever approached the 10k LP mark, probably not even half that. But like you said in your intro comments - I do have A LOT of albums by certain artists. Coltrane, Miles Davis, While I "celebrate their entire catalog" I certainly don't listen to ALL the albums on a regular basis.

Can’t say I’ve thought about Joss Stone in many many years. Even on that album she wasn’t really my cup of tea but that was probably her most restrained album vocally
