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.

Such a "live" production
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:07pm

Have you heard the car commercial that uses her song with Osaka Monarail?
  10:08pm

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:10pm
Little Danny:

Heya Kris 'n' all! Listening from my parents' house in PA
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:11pm
Kris Holmes:

Hey Dan! You up in PA? Everything OK?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm
Little Danny:

Yeah, and yeah! Parents are good, with the usual dark, comforting, depressive cloud hanging over all us. I'd be worried it weren't here.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:15pm
Kris Holmes:

hahaha, well that's ok then!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:22pm
Funky16Corners:

Now I can't remember if I have this Bobby Byrd 45.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:22pm

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Cubs Win:

I can't get enough.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Doug Schulkind:

That James Brown was pretty good. Does he have any other records?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Funky16Corners:

Come to throw that last handful of dirt on the Mets, have you?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:24pm
Uncle Michael:

It's not personal.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:24pm
Kris Holmes:

No, he was a one hit wonder I think?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

Maybe I have one more 45 by him? I'll play it in a sec.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:26pm
Uncle Michael:

Best known for being Bootsy's former boss, I believe.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:28pm
Kris Holmes:

Probably
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Little Danny:

@Kris: do you a favorite James Brown funk side? Mine are consistently "There Was a Time," followed immediately by "Give It Up or Turn It Loose." Choosing some favorite James Brown productions for other artists would be a much more difficult challenge, howevs
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
Funky16Corners:

Good Foot
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:29pm
Kris Holmes:

Oh man, that's tough, I don't know off hand. There Was A Time is up there though.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:30pm
Kris Holmes:

Tough to beat Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Uncle Michael:

King Heroin
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey, he just said "FOUR"
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:31pm
Kris Holmes:

he got it finally
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Little Danny:

I could swear someone was talking about "King Heroin" on WFMU recently. Was it you Uncle M?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Uncle Michael:

Not me, but I would!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Little Danny:

"Sex Machine" would definitely be in my top five funky James Browns
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Funky16Corners:

Philly represent!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Uncle Michael:

I like early James when you can hear him sketching out the notion of funk...Night Train and the like.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Awwwwww yeah
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:39pm
Little Danny:

I'd never thought about "Night Train" that way, but I kinda hear ya. It's all rhythm vamps and foregrounded percussion
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:40pm
Little Danny:

Some stone classics this evening, Kris!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:40pm
Uncle Michael:

That moment when you discover Dennis Coffey's a white guy...
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:40pm
Kris Holmes:

hahahaha
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Funky16Corners:

Funk Brothers percussion line
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:41pm
Kris Holmes:

Detroit FTW
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Uncle Michael:

At that point, James is already taking r&b to a new place...maybe only the Isley's were there already, too.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:42pm
Kris Holmes:

Isley's were definitely close behind
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Little Danny:

There were some very early isolated examples of the funk aesthetic in the early '60s, but they were generally outliers and/or accidents. And I'm of course blanking on artist names or song titles
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Funky16Corners:

Kansas City funk
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:47pm
Kris Holmes:

Travis Wammack "Scratchy" is early example of something close to a classic breakbeat
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Little Danny:

Marie Knight's "To Be Loved By You" has some weird and inadvertently funk-ish rhythms
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Funky16Corners:

Yvonne Fair 'Say Yeah Yeah'
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:53pm
Kris Holmes:

There's a Ramsey Lewis 45 that sounds like proto drum & bass too, on Argo, from the late 50s/early 60s.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm
Funky16Corners:

SHA-SHEER, I think
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Little Danny:

Haha, cats are so proud when it comes to their fur coats
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Funky16Corners:

We keep the air on and our two black cats spend their day lounging in the hot, sunny bay window
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:00pm
Kris Holmes:

cats are ridiculous
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Funky16Corners:

I must hit the sack, my friends. Up at 6 with the boys to start my long march to midnight. Great tunes as always Kris!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm
Funky16Corners:

Humpty Dump! I can stay up for some Johnny Otis-related ish
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:03pm
Kris Holmes:

Goodnight Larry, thanks for staying up. Apparently there's a Johnny Otis doco in the works.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:04pm
Little Danny:

I sorely regret getting rid of my MJC first issue of the Louis Chachere during the ill-advised period when I'd decided I didn't need mod/funky organ instros in my life. Oh the irony.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:05pm
Kris Holmes:

Fail Dan :(
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Little Danny:

I know, I know. The lesson? Don't get rid of anything, ever!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:07pm
Kris Holmes:

ha
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Uncle Michael:

I'm turning in too. G'night friends. Thanks, Kris.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
Little Danny:

Pleasant dreams LG and UM
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
Little Danny:

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm
Andrew Waterloo:

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:17pm
Kris Holmes:

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:20pm
Kris Holmes:

Thanks Andrew, welcome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Little Danny:

This is an outstanding set
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:43pm
Kris Holmes:

weirdest set of the night lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Little Danny:

that Packers 45 log was perversely interesting
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:55pm
Kris Holmes:

i thought so, lol at NZBC playing the wrong side.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59pm
Little Danny:

Great show my man. I've been meaning to ask you about the mod scene in '60s NZ. Next time we meet up.
  11:59pm
Peter Mac:

Fun show, thanks Kris
