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.

You know...sometimes I get a little nostalgic for Radio Ponsonby. That custom built DJ desk you worked from was sweet AF.

Heya, yeah, that was a nice setup!!

It was really nice. I need to show you what Jesse Kaminsky built for the summer he did live rdio as an art installation at a Boston art museum. Check it out. www.jessekaminsky.com...

JK's setup in those photos is super sweet. I'm guessing he doesn't go on the road with that beast
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17pm
Uncle Michael:

He broke it down after that project ended, as I recall. I don't think he had any way of transporting or storing it.

I need to get more familiar with Marv's discography - I only have "With All That's In Me" and "Don't Leave Me"
Avatar 10:21pm

he's worth exploring but not in a "i gotta buy everything blindly" kinda way

Right, I've wound up ditching a lotta his stuff that I pick up blindly

I love Heartbreaker...and I love how it's got sitar (or fake sitar) on it...because of course it does.

Hey Kris, UM, Danny!
Yucca Valley & Joshua Tree are well worth exploring if you visit LA.

I'll be in L.A. in a month but I doubt I'll get farther from Santa Monica than Amoeba Records.

UM, know what you mean. You could easily camp out there. There's a huge flea market on Sundays at Fairfax High,might be worth a look. I've seen record crates there.
Avatar 10:44pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah i liked exploring out in Joshua Tree & Yucca Valley when I lived there
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:45pm
Uncle Michael:

Family gathering. Just getting away for Amoeba will take some finesse.

Dean:

I'll be in L.A. in a month, too, UM. And I hope then again a month later (Zeke at Whisky).

Dan the BN Eps with the pic sleeves are bueno!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Dean.

I'll be listening to the second hour in the dark, Kris. I'm enjoying this!

Night all.
  11:03pm
Dean:

I knew you'd ask. Hard to pin down. Flat Tracker is a must, but it's raw and brief. But the opening track, "T-500" is worth it. "Live and Uncensored" is a good record of the Jeff Matz days. Kicked in the Teeth features "Twisted." Death Alley's "Arkansas Man" is the best of that record. Point is, you have to see this band live. I first saw them at a record store in Hollywood, and I've since seen them in Seattle, LA, and Oakland many times. Eh, I'd say start with Kicked in the Teeth or Dirty Sanchez, the old iteration of the band. The live album is great for the Matz period. Nothing from the latest iteration yet.

night Michael

Oh, totally, tho I don't actually have any of those BN EPs
Avatar 11:15pm
Kris Holmes:

man, i dunno why they did them (other than jukeboxes), like "hey let's do a Gil Melle EP & try to hit the charts" hahaha
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
Little Danny:

Haha, these Hit 45s are awesome. I love that Leroy sang from the first person as "Bobby."
Avatar 11:19pm
Kris Holmes:

hahahaha, i know right, "dude you were supposed to sing Leroy not Bobby!!"

Fantastic playlist Kris.
