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.

thanks for tuning in guys, hope your social distancing isn't too unbearable
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:10pm
Little Danny:

This introverted household is having no problem, though I'm glad I'm not by myself. Even that would be too much alone time for me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:11pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m doing fine here with multiple weeks of solitude
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:12pm
Little Danny:

Do you have any of the Moments' LPs on Stang, Kris? Always been curious, never see 'em IRL
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:12pm
Little Danny:

FMU is legitimate good company/companionship in these times
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:13pm
Kris Holmes:

I have had some but never felt the need to file. I have Whatnauts LPs filed though
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:14pm
Little Danny:

Right. I get all of those Stang groups mixed up.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:15pm
Kris Holmes:

exactly
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Little Danny:

The Gene Chandler live LP is SOOO good. Totally you-are-there crowd noise
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:17pm
Kris Holmes:

it is perhaps my favourite live soul lp ever
  10:27pm
Carmichael:

Most Irish songs are either about a grand party or the ill effects the day after.
  10:29pm
Carmichael:

Ray Goodman & Brown, duh. Just put 2 and 2 together ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
chresti:

No problem - so far!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Little Danny:

Been plunging into Junior Parker and Bland's Duke catalogs myself, coincidentally
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Franco Twinkie:

This I like!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:59pm
Kris Holmes:

Junior Parker & Bobby Bland on Duke are so consistently great
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:59pm
Kris Holmes:

my current fave early Olympics side
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Little Danny:

I get a little bored by his mid-tempo blues shuffles, but Bland could really the nail a moody ballad
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:02pm
Kris Holmes:

definitely
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
Little Danny:

Is baseball a thing in New Zealand?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:07pm
Kris Holmes:

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:18pm
Kris Holmes:

i swear i didn't mean for there to be this man 2 part 45s lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
Little Danny:

I'm totally down for it. I keep planning a set (or whole show) where I play nothing but the neglected part twos of 45s
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:21pm
Kris Holmes:

that's a great plan
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21pm
Franco Twinkie:

Hell no!!! Yes indeedee!

Matt! I drove by Pie'n Burger this morning - they were open!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:23pm
Kris Holmes:

welcome back
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Other than buying a pie. I’m not sure I’d get takeout. The dine in experience is key there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Franco Twinkie:

I didn't stop, but it made me smile....for a minute.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I hear ya. A little semblance of normalcy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I think your accent intimidates people
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:32pm
Kris Holmes:

what accent? i'm from Boston!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Is this song promoting the prosperity gospel?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Maybe I’m taking it too literally
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:34pm
Kris Holmes:

i think it's a valid take for some?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:35pm
Kris Holmes:

another couple of pt.1s & 2s now btw, wtf? like they congregated for tonight somehow
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:35pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This record by Mr Poole doesn’t seem to be on Discogs unless I’m an idiot which is possible. I just see an album on the same label.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:35pm
Kris Holmes:

no, it's hyper rare, most people have no idea he even put out 45s from the LP
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:36pm
Kris Holmes:

maybe i'll add them
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:37pm
Kris Holmes:

in hindsight i should have cleaned it before tonight, i did not :(
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:37pm
Kris Holmes:

sorry
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Little Danny:

He's totally new to me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37pm
Little Danny:

Now I'm curious about the LP
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:38pm
Kris Holmes:

The LP isn't bad, possibly on Youtube, soul jazz with a gospel tinge
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:38pm
Kris Holmes:

i wouldn't necessarily pay going rate for it though
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Only one mint sealed copy on Discogs for $93 plus shipping from Australia
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Little Danny:

Yeah I've got it open on a page for later, lotsa clips
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
Little Danny:

Apparently one of the LP tracks has a break on it.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

from memory this track is the best one for me & it's on this 45
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:42pm
Kris Holmes:

this might be the break track.....we'll see
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:43pm
Kris Holmes:

i think it opens up in a minute from memory
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:44pm
Kris Holmes:

there we go, nice little break at the beginning wrecked by organ stabs
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:44pm
Kris Holmes:

really useable
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Does Mr Wright offer interstellar trips? I might take him up on that.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:50pm
Kris Holmes:

Dunno but this as they say "Proper Northern"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:55pm
