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.

Cool. I didn’t miss anything. I was finishing up a mix after my buddy’s show ended and was worried I might miss the beginning.

Hi Kris. I’ve been up since around 4:30 AM and have been listening to music non stop since then.

Great effort

Oddly I’m not feeling tired and got a bunch of work done. Hopefully I sleep later tonight. No need to get up that early. Stupid body.

I’ve been hearing this guy Pete Smith play a cover of Rescue Me by a female vocal group and he claimed they were called The Shells. Nothing on the internet and it’s been driving me crazy for weeks. Finally I noticed in one of the comment sections that someone outed the record. It apparently is on a budget line put out by Pye in the U.K. called Top Six and it’s on volume 24. Quite good all things considered.

Kris! We're a couple of sleepyheads over here - been up since 4am. Did nap, but I feel like crap.

Little Danny:

I always wake up stiff and groggy after cat naps.

Kris Holmes:

Matt - Ha, yep, some solid covers on those Top Six discs
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m not a good nap person either
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:24pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Interesting cover
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25pm

I can't nap more than 30 minutes, if I want to function the rest of the day

I love Aertaun! The Hollywood Tornadoes are great crap surf combo. Produced by Paul Buff?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
Little Danny:

autocorrect, Franco!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Little Danny:

TELSTAR!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Franco Twinkie:

Telstar.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
Little Danny:

Kris sings Joe Meek!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
Franco Twinkie:

Univox, not a piano.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Little Danny:

This is a fun turn
Avatar 10:36pm
Kris Holmes:

The middle section of Telstar doesn't change to Piano??
Avatar 10:37pm
Kris Holmes:

To be fair I haven't heard it in like 15 years?

doctorjazz:

Marvin! Great! (Hi)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Little Danny:

It's a clavioline
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
doctorjazz:

Hi all you sensitive people!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’ve heard of a clavinet but that’s new to me Danny
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
doctorjazz:

Clavioline, is that motor oil?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
Franco Twinkie:

Forget those stupid British fops! The real shit is The Tornadoes from the I.E. Another Paul Buff/Frank Zappa desert surf classic with ocean waves is The Heavies by the Rotations.

Kris Holmes:

I don't even own that Telstar 45 so I can't even play it to get it out of my damn head now
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:43pm
Little Danny:

Haha Franco get off your phone
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:43pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Wikipedia says it might have been a Univox, Danny, which I’ve heard of.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
chresti:

Haha doc
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
Little Danny:

Yeah, I might be mistaken. Figure the section Kris is describing was played using the keyboard's string or harp setting
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:45pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Or maybe both
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:45pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Brend, Mark (2005). Strange Sounds: Offbeat Instruments and Sonic Experiments in Pop. San Francisco, CA: Backbeat Books.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That’s the book cited
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Seems like something you’d enjoy Danny
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
Little Danny:

I've owned that book for years! It's great fun
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:51pm
Little Danny:

I had idea this El Dorado record was this good
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:52pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Was this a “gold” record?

Dan, it was new to me, never knew of it before last week. I like it.

I can't imagine someone not liking that. Dreamy sweet soul with Latin sunshine harmonies

Franco Twinkie:

A band at a Mexican Restaurant. I love it. Slow jam with extra chips and salsa.
Avatar 11:00pm
Kris Holmes:

That's the "loungey" vibe for sure, just envisaging the ruffled shirts
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I like this second one
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:06pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I like this one too. Definitely gave me your dollars worth of entertainment.
Avatar 11:08pm
Kris Holmes:

definitely better than my initial needle drop let on, keepers
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Did you intentionally segue between Robey labels?

Nope but well spotted

Apogee?

Correct

Misa just corrected me, & told me it's the apex of something. I am confident I have never seen that word before this record label. Weird.
