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.

Hi guys!! I found a Kiwi 45 in a local Tejano store here yesterday
Avatar 🥁 10:04pm
Kris Holmes:

arranged & produced by a cousin of a lady i used to work with
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:05pm
Uncle Michael:

Yeah, never heard that version before.

I'm three episodes into Brokenwood and learning to understand Kiwi!

hahaha, the one i'm trying to bring back is the insult "egg"

Texans are totally silly with panic when it comes to snow

Though not FROM NZ (merely a Canadian based there), I just discovered Tami Neilson.
Avatar 🥁 10:19pm
Kris Holmes:

Could be Richard Evans. Yep the grocery store was full on pre-storm apocalypse panic station last night. Tami is great!!

I'm spinning her this Friday.

Rainy Daze's That Acapulco Gold LP on Uni is actually pretty solid. Do you know it Kris?

hey guys, how/where do you "favourite"tracks as you're listening?

MrFab:

So that Johnny Thunder wasn't the New York Doll? I'm so confused!
Avatar 🥁 10:24pm
Kris Holmes:

ha, no, that's Johnny ThunderS!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:25pm
Uncle Michael:

Johnny Thunder is not Johnny Thunders. Johnny Thunder is probably best known for "I'm Alive," which is just a monster.
Avatar 🥁 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

or his big hit "Loop De Loop"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
Uncle Michael:

I'm Alive beats Loop De Loop 14-3 on FMU playlist appearances.
  10:29pm
MrFab:

Aaah, right! I actually had "Loop de Loop" on a fave childhood KTel comp "Goofy Greats."
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
Uncle Michael:

Well, Dave Clark fucked up all by himself...and relegated himself to second rate awareness outside of the UK by totally misunderstanding how music distribution works.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
Uncle Michael:

That's probably a different song than the Johnny Thunder track, MrFab.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
Uncle Michael:

I'm wrong, it's the same song!
  10:31pm
Rich in NC:

More Wishbone Ash
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Little Danny:

"Trolley." You're not fully Americanized yet
Avatar 🥁 10:33pm
Kris Holmes:

That's because "I'm Alive" is 11 times better than "Loop De Loop"
  10:34pm
MrFab:

Nope, same one. I just looked it up:
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Goofy-Greats/release/1607696

The fact that "Goofy Greats" was a much-played treasure instead of loving Van Halen and Kiss like the other boys probly says something about me.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:34pm
Uncle Michael:

It's 11 times better than 99% of all records ever made.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Uncle Michael:

Dave Clark, from Wikipedia: "Between 1978 and 1993, none of their music was available to be purchased in any commercial format, as rights-holder Clark declined to licence the band's recordings."

Can you imagine the impact of that?
Avatar 🥁 10:35pm
Kris Holmes:

ha, touche
Avatar 🥁 10:35pm
Kris Holmes:

what an idiot
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:37pm
Uncle Michael:

So the fact that a lot of us came late to his catalog is entirely his doing. Anything that wasn't a perennial hit on oldies radio just disappeared from popular culture.
Avatar 🥁 10:37pm
Kris Holmes:

that's unbelievable almost
  10:38pm
MrFab:

Dave Clark's "Tequila"-inspired "Chaquita" is one of the all time great sleazy instros. Much recommended to fans of Link Wray, The Cramps, etc.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Uncle Michael:

There are a lot of great DC5 instrumentals. "Theme With No Name" comes to mind.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm

Theme Without A Name*

Kris Holmes:

i really like them
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
Little Danny:

Damn this is (yet another) great Supremes track. New to me
  10:44pm
Peter Mac:

Kia ora, Kris, sounding good!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:46pm
Uncle Michael:

Springsteen has stated that the DC5 is why the E-Street Band had a saxophone.
Avatar 🥁 10:48pm
Kris Holmes:

that makes sense
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:52pm
Uncle Michael:

Well, I'm gonna lay down. My body is hinting that it bight be coming down with some sort of bullshit. I'm gonna be pissed. On the other hand, it'll just about guarantee that I won't have this year's seasonal bullshit during Marathon.

a bit stalkerish in theme but agree, great sound
  11:46pm
MrFab:

I've aways thought there was something creepy about The Temptations "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." Too bad Dennis Hopper never recorded it: "I'm gonna MAKE you love me, bwa ha ha!"
Avatar 🥁 11:47pm
Kris Holmes:

hahaha, a new sub genre, "Stalker Soul"
