Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from February 25, 2020 Favoriting

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.

It’s been a ridiculously long day today. I’ll probably pass out shortly unfortunately.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:03pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi Matt, well thanks for being here for however long you can.

Hey Kris 'n' Matt

Matt from New Orleans:

I’m happy to return to “normal” tomorrow but avoiding the bead debris while riding my bike will be fun until we face a few big storms

Kris Holmes:

Oh man, my facebook feed has again blown up with mardi gras pics today
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:08pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I was done by noon but was out doing shenanigans at 5 AM
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
WR:

Tonight it does feel very much that it is a long way home, wherever that is . . . .
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19pm
Little Danny:

I sent off my master CD today. You're ahead of me. Now I'm sorting through the ten billion other emails related to the Marathon and trying to figure out what else I've forgotten.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:21pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’ve already made my donation just waiting for the marathon to start to do the split so I can be eligible for prizes.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:21pm
Kris Holmes:

Dude, So. MANY. EMAILS :( It's ridiculous.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:24pm
Little Danny:

I know. I keep wanting to email the list asking for some clarity but realize that would be further compounding the problem.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:24pm
Kris Holmes:

ugh
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Little Danny:

Another Motown 45 that's brand new to me. This is great. I like the hint of the coal-miner beat.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:26pm
Kris Holmes:

cheapie, i think this was $1 at the yard sale on saturday
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m assuming you bought the bettye swann to sell
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
WR:

Yes, the fund raising marathon is like a decathlon or obstacle course. I signed up for monthly donation / swag for life so in theory i have nothing to do, but still trying to figure out best steps to support the hosts of shows I regularly listen to. Cannot imagine all the things you are having to respond to.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:29pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah, actually i need to check if my file copy is worn because this one plays pretty great!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:29pm
Kris Holmes:

this 45 is notorious for wearing out & distorting easily
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Styrene?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:31pm
Kris Holmes:

yep :( such a great 45 though
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Digging the Blakey
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:40pm
Kris Holmes:

great scrappy sound to it, live, but so live sounding. i feel like i'm at a table in bird land right now through headphones
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:41pm
Kris Holmes:

I'm apparently on a LJT Galaxy 45s kick at the moment
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Little Danny:

Ha, abrupt breaks between pts. 1 and 2 of certain 45s always kill my DJ game
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:42pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah, that one caught me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Little Danny:

Not much time between those solos!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s that the 45 translates Vieux Carrie literally instead of saying French Quarter
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s funny
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m too tired to fix all my typos/autocorrects
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:50pm
Kris Holmes:

translated as "Old Square" on the label lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This could use some Hammond
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Putting my phone down. Have a great night guys. I’ll listen until I pass out.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:03pm
Kris Holmes:

goodnight Matt
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
Little Danny:

He DOES sound like Lou Rawls, you're right!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
WR:

It seems you are mostly playing recent acquisitions. I'm amazed that you are able to find all these at reasonable prices.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:35pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah, a bunch of stuff that's come in the last couple of weeks, not many of them will find their way into my collection, most will go direct to the sales boxes.
Avatar ♥ 11:39pm
northguineahills:

Had interesting day, two parts shite, one part good (fractionally). Haven't had time to hit woofmoo in 32 hours. Kris make it back to 50/50 before sleep hits (assuming sleep happens). Oh, and thanks Kris!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:41pm
WR:

Damn, NGH, sorry to hear that.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

Sorry your day wasn't 100% good
Avatar ♥ 11:45pm
northguineahills:

16 mins could get it to 67% good! (still taking the long way home, still figuring where that may be, ahhhh… wfmu!)
Avatar ♥ 11:48pm
northguineahills:

oddly enough, I'm waiting for a freelance check from San Antonio, to help pay to the bumper that got knocked off by a hoserino when I was parked on the street.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:49pm
Kris Holmes:

i hope San Antonio comes through
Avatar ♥ 11:51pm
northguineahills:

(that waspart of my day, but I had multiple positive job interviews). I was actually digging online to fill my cumbia void a few hours earlier, as my music collection is 3 hours away...
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:53pm
Kris Holmes:

fingers crossed on the jobs
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59pm
WR:

NGH, there will be a major woof moo celebration when you find suitable employment, until then we're here for you in spirit. If that makes sense.
Avatar ♥ 12:00am
northguineahills:

true, WR, gracias!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am
WR:

Thank you Kris for this evening's soundtrack.
