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.

never heard that version of is it because i'm black; and never before thought there was a slight similarity between that song and "we Love all" from sly & the family stone's first album.

I like the way you operate, Dr. Holmes.

Kris i may be wrong about which album it's on. and i've got some sly albums on cds too so it may be a "bonus track".
...anyway i'm probably way off about the similarity. (great track though you might check it out anyway)

I like when “yeggs” shows up in old films and comics.

MrFab:

Hi all, where ya at? (as they greet each other in Louisiana) I loves me some N'Awlins sounds. Stuff like "Big Chief" isn't really r'n'b in the typical sense, it's got that unique feel and second line rhythm. Surprised no one's really created a genre name for it.

Feel like struttin' with some etouffee.

@Kris: Does Misa genuinely like Lynyrd Skynyrd, or is she just trolling you?

Just got back from a meet and greet for a political candidate for the Gainesville City Commission. She's a young African-American woman who just moved here from Ft. Greene, Brooklyn. She was preaching to this choir.

Frankly, I think we should hope for candidates who disturb every choir.

I know the some of the kids of Skynyrd (grew up w/ them). I was friends w/ Van Zant's daughter and Pyle's son. (I grew up outside of Jacksonville, FL). Oh the stories I have

I used to hate Skynyrd until i moved to NYC, and something from the cultural ambience was missing (Skynyrd was played everywhere growing up). Once I listened to them on there own merit, I actually liked them. And Yes, Ronnie was buried w/ a Neil Young tee (people kept breaking into his crypt in [in my hometown of Orange Park] to check to see if he was wearing the shirt, they had to move his remains to an undisclosed location.)

@geezerette: I put a sign out for her in my yard.

coelacanth∅:

sbp yeh it's a bit worn out by now! but it's better than someone yelling "more cowbell!" -aside from the joke being old and based on a skit that wasn't that funny in the first place; someone's going to take it to heart, and play more, and louder cowbell.
  11:02pm

Ha, thought I was the only one who appreciated this oddity.

And geezerette, you talking party? Well, I got me a rum n coke going as we speak.
