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.

I have mostly avoided Joss Stone and I’m not sure I could recognize her voice.

These all from Sunday, replenished a little

Kris Holmes:

i made the mistake of going to see her live
Avatar 10:24pm
northguineahills:

Was listening in my car while I explored the 'slow' opening of FL (outside Jacksonville). One bar looked packed, there's no way they were practicing social distancing. Then again, a tattoo parlour in the same shopping center got shut down as the owner made terroistic threats, was found to a member of the Aryan nation, and had many illegal weapons (which is hard to do in FL). Did I tell you I hate the town I grew up in (w/ notable exceptions)

Going back to Orlando (bars are still closed there) this weekend, the job might start sometime next week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:24pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I hope the store was quiet while you were there. Were the employees wearing masks?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Good luck with your new job
Avatar 10:27pm
northguineahills:

@Matt: I didn't go in. As much as I wanted to go, I don't trust most strangers in Jacksonville, I can't afford to drink out right now anyways. I believe the bartenders are required to wear masks, just like in the gas stations and grocery stores.

Thanks, Matt.
Avatar 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

yes, there was maximum one other customer the whole time (4 hours) I was there. Everyone had masks, hand sanitizer on the counter. I washed my hands.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I respect Betty Wright and she mentored her so I can’t imagine it’s all bad but I couldn’t deal with UK labels trying to find the next Amy
Avatar 10:28pm
Kris Holmes:

there was just insane footage of a bar in Austin, first night open, packed, zero masks!!!!
Avatar 10:29pm
Kris Holmes:

I thought Joss was pre-Amy?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Same time. Both were up for Mercury award in same year for their debuts. It took me a while to warm up to Amy and I didn’t like Joss’ White Stripes cover so never went further.
Avatar 10:32pm
Kris Holmes:

right

Kris Holmes:

never got into Amy's debut album

Hey Matt!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:43pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I forgot how much vocal there was so more boogie than electro. I just remembered Kurtis Blow’s part.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It seems to clean up after the initial distortion
Avatar 10:45pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah, it's recorded super hot onto styrene, a bad combo for longevity
Avatar 10:45pm
Kris Holmes:

i hadn't heard this Willie Hightower before so I was curious
Avatar 10:46pm
Kris Holmes:

that was either a weird edit or a perfect derby in the groove that sorted itself out hahaha
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m assuming you won’t be keeping that but how much can you even get for it?
Avatar 10:50pm
Kris Holmes:

with that distortion i'll probably just put it in the trash, it's funny to hear Willie doing this stuff, his voice is so great whatever setting it's framed in. 2 good sides if it was clean & you liked disco!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Matt from New Orleans:

There’s still a studio where Osiris used to be in Memphis. It’s across the street from this convenience store that serves fantastic food. Awesome sandwiches bibimbap and other Korean dishes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I forgot really good middle eastern food too
Avatar 10:53pm
Kris Holmes:

crazy
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s called Kwik Chek. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Memphis.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:56pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I liked both sides
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m an idiot. The studio I remember being there is Ardent.
Avatar 10:59pm
Kris Holmes:

ahhhh
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm
Matt from New Orleans:

So Osiris was based out of Ardent
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I just remembered Kwik Chek’s address when I saw Osiris’ on discogs

I thought I had this Deodato!

I haven't had decent Eastern Mediterrean food since I left NYC, well, I had a decent Lebanese place once...

Are you in Gainesville NGH? I went to a large market(starts with a Z) there and had solid food.

when a friend and i arrived in beaumont the week before katrina hit, petrochemical workers at a local bar advised us to stay out of the water if we went to the beach. the three of them - one black. one white. one latino - then proceeded to list numerous relatives who developed cancer due to the pollutants their petrochem plants put out. not to put a hurt on your partner's plan. covid is hardly our first challenge, just one of the many we've chosen to acknowledge. just sayin.
Avatar 11:08pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah, I just don't think going away for a night to a beach in the middle of a pandemic is a totally awesome idea.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Matt from New Orleans:

There’s plenty of fools from LA who drove out to MS & AL over the last week to go to the beach. Both those states have significantly higher new virus cases than we do. They’ll probably bring back the virus and start new clusters.

don't go in the water! panic or no panic.

coming from a pacific island it's really tough to get enthused about going into gulf waters
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm

Coming from Long Island which is far less nice than New Zealand I feel the same

best thing about the gulf is will oldham's song "gulf shores"

@Matt: I prefer to be in Gainesville, and the job I want is there, but I won't hear back from then until late June, so working for the Census will have to do in the mean time.

@Matt: Zeezenia? That's in the south part of town andI used to live and work in the NE part of town, so, I sadly never ventured there.

Fair enough. I hope the census job is fine and you get the job you want.

That’s like me remembering the block number of Kwik Chek. What use is that? I never would have been able to tell it to you without that prompt from Discogs.

hahahaha, exactly
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:45pm

Kris I do have to say that I’ve opened my mind Kris to all sorts of music I never would have listened to in the past over the last year. This does not include exotica yet I get my dose every week.
