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 Kris. I passed out sometime after 8:30 last week. I listened during the week. Lots of good tunes. Noticed you didn’t play any Robert Parker.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:02pm

This the stream?

The long wait home tonight
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:06pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi Matt, yeah I forgot to open iTunes!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:09pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I almost went to see Raphael Saadiq tonight but when I found out he wasn’t going on till after 10 at the earliest I decided against it. My friend works at the venue and texted me earlier to see if I wanted to go.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:10pm
Kris Holmes:

He would probably be good, never seen him
  10:11pm
Little Danny:

Hey Kris, hey y’all, loved “Woman Hang Your Head”
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:12pm
Kris Holmes:

it's great for sure!! And cheap!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He had a two solid openers as well. It would have been fun but I couldn’t get a single friend to be my plus one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:14pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hi Danny. I heard another cover of across the universe since Thursday and thought of you. I already forgot who the performer was.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The doc is really good
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:23pm
Kris Holmes:

yes it's fun
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Solid Fats cover
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

it really is
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I find when I have less invested in a song that I’m more open to covers
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:30pm
Kris Holmes:

like they're not destroying something sacred?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Little Danny:

@Matt: I'm pleased to be associated with the song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Pretty much. I forgot Roy Brown released it first but I thinks it’s fair to call a song Dave & Fats wrote and had a hit with to say it’s a Fats Domino song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Little Danny:

Drums on " "Something's Got A Hold On Me"!

Fantastic show as usual!. Finally getting a chance to tune in live. Thanks for the sounds!.

Hi Sean

Matt from New Orleans:

Haven’t heard this for a bit. Still sounding really good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Wanda Rouzan still performs around town
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:44pm
Kris Holmes:

Mr. Lee is such a winner of a song...a familiar direction/style, but so happily its own thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Yup
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The Dixie Cups still sound great. Only one original member but one of the Neville sisters is part of the group.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m wrong. The Hawkins sisters are both original. Just Althegra isn’t
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Athelgra uncommon name
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The Dixie Cups are New Orleans too
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That’s fucking ridiculous but not the most disgusting things I’ve seen in Washington Square Park
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:56pm
Matt from New Orleans:

But one of my favorite people in the world is Thiru who runs an incredible Dosa cart in the park.

Signed back in to say Hello and also we'll wishes to you Matt, Kris and all. Wishing a pleasant night to you from MA.

It if it had been successful, young actors and others hustling to make NY rent could expand beyond hired dog-walking to hired doo-saucing.

Matt from New Orleans:

My buddy Richie aka Maharishi HiFi did a Studio One show in honor of what would have been Coxsone’s 88 birthday. It was really good. Listened to it earlier today.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm
Matt from New Orleans:

My cousin was really into reggae in the 80s and she insisted on going to Coxsone’s studio in Brooklyn. At that time, the area of Brooklyn was pretty much a war zone as competing drug operations fought over turf. My dad insisted on taking her and I went along. Coxsone was a true gentleman and he had no sessions booked that day so he just told us stories. I had no fucking clue who he was at the time as I was maybe 8 or 9. She bought a bunch of records and we left. As soon as we step outside, one junkie decides to stab his other junkie buddy for no apparent reason as they hadn’t been arguing. Crazy day.

Kris Holmes:

Dang!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Matt from New Orleans:

My cousin was visiting from Israel and was definitely naive about what she might have been heading into.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Snooks
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm
Matt from New Orleans:

His name isn’t even spelled properly on that record. It’s Fird.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:19pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha, true.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This is one of my favorite songs from New Orleans. Love Guitar Slim.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Some Chicago blues. Another early love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

enjoying this set verrrrry much
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Would it have cost Fire that much more to put the “re” at the end of his name?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Sounded just like Gloria for a sec
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:35pm
Kris Holmes:

yep, heavy Gloria vibes
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm

Is yours that classy Kris?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Matt from New Orleans: wow, i think that's what some call BAD. Wow!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:39pm
Kris Holmes:

cost me a quarter, no pic sleeve
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Thanks Kris. I enjoyed the reggae section. Lots of quality tunes per usual. Have a great night everyone.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:52pm
