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.

Larry and Vincent have been extolling the Keystone Soul Weekender for the last two days. I’ve never actually attended something like that. Not even an alldayer or allnighter.

Yeah I saw Larry's posts looked like a fun time. The big US one in Seattle is this weekend, I went last year & while it was fun seeing everyone, I think my days of all soul weekends are done, it's just too much

No, sadly. We're down to one car at the moment and the timing didn't work out.

Glad you laptop still functioning. I am just hearing that Drifters tune, I count the tears, for the first time. Striking similarities with Let's Live for Today performed by the Grassroot and coming from an Italian song. Really?

Kris Holmes:

Ah, bummer Dan :(

@Kris: tell me about it!

Oh man. Waking up from a KFC coma to do a show sounds mighty disorienting

Was treated to a KFC pot pie today. Anticipated with some apprehension, but it was goooood, even if checklist of its unfavorable factors might make it a Bad Food Bingo winner.

Love the 'roots' "Let's Live for Today"

From the wikipedia page for the Grassroots song seems that the session producer / song co-writer PF Sloan has publicly acknowledged the influence of the Drifters song.en.m.wikipedia.org...

A little mellower Roy Head than I’ve seen in concert. Dr Ike always makes him play uptempo numbers.
Avatar 10:34pm
Kris Holmes:

from 1972, his country period, but he cut that in Memphis with Steve Cropper, gettin' bluesy

Has anyone watched the Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore?

Not yet seen it, looking forward to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it

Mr Fine Wine played a song by Frank Lucas recently. I remember thinking about the drug kingpin in Harlem when I saw the name and then he made sure to say that it wasn’t that guy.

Nice cameo from Poobah Records in LA dressed up as Dolphin's of Hollywood too

Franco Twinkie:

Matt, I'm in a singing group that practices at Poobah Records where all the opening shots were filmed. We would go in after the film crew was done for the day. Aside from my personal interest in the story of Rudy Ray Moore, who I actually saw perform, I think It's a great movie! I Loved Rudy's filthy mouth. What a guy!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:06pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Actually I got messed up by it starting last week in the U.K. On the morning of the 27th, I went to listen to the radio show I listen to every week at 9 AM and it wasn’t on. It took me a bit before I even thought to look it up online.

Yeah, now would usually be sign off & bedtime

That was from Jackies album Laurel Canyon. I like all pictures of Ms. DeShannon on the inside of the cover standing around looking lost in a shirt that looks like a table cloth.

I just read something funny about Jerry Lee Lewis. When he opened for The Doors at the Forum, and all the morons in the audience were disrespectful after he played his ass off, he thanked the people who liked him, but told the rest to go have a heart attack!

Jerry Lee Lewis song came on the radio today and the person I was with characterized him as "a one-trick pony, right?"

Maybe so, but what a trick!

It sounded like the Wailers backing Johnny Nash

Did we ever leave the B’s back then?

I think we started the Cs?

I'd have to go back through the playlists & check
