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 Candy. Guess Kris is having issues.

You found it for me
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:04pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This is my favorite song of theirs. It cracks me up.
Avatar 🥁 10:05pm
Kris Holmes:

Literally received an email at 9pm stating 2 covid cases at work announced this evening :( terrified
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:05pm
Candy-O'67:

This is a great song, Matt. I love J. Geils' version of it, too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:06pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That’s rough. What’s next at school?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:07pm
Candy-O'67:

Sorry to hear that, Kris :(
Avatar 🥁 10:08pm
Kris Holmes:

Guess I'll find out more tomorrow
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:09pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Good luck. Stay safe.
Avatar 🥁 10:11pm
Kris Holmes:

thanks, it's getting a little too close for comfort
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:11pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Picked up more records?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:12pm
Candy-O'67:

I'm sure you'll be fine, Kris. If it makes you feel any better, anyone in my general sphere that has gotten it has recovered. Luckily I haven't been exposed to anyone that close, but they've all recovered
Avatar 🥁 10:12pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah, went back to the 25c spot to finish the new load
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:14pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This one has some hiss but it’s still loud and not noticeably distorted.
Avatar 🥁 10:14pm
Kris Holmes:

But you just never know how it's gonna hit you though, the uncertainty
Avatar 🥁 10:14pm
Kris Holmes:

styrene copy
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:15pm
Candy-O'67:

I hear ya.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:19pm
WR:

Vitamin D, get your sleep, eat healthy and hopefully if you did get exposed it doesn't develop.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Matt from New Orleans:

A whole hog or just the shoulder?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Candy-O'67:

I second that, WR. Boost your immune system. That's what I've been doing this whole time
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
Candy-O'67:

Congrats on the new smoker, Kris!
Avatar 🥁 10:22pm
Kris Holmes:

I think most of a hog but not whole
Avatar 🥁 10:23pm
Kris Holmes:

The smoker is kind of old but should last a season or two in order to get my bearings
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Matt from New Orleans:

If it’s a wild pig, it will have far less fat that the typical farmed pig. So you’ll have to make adjustments if you look at recipes online.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Candy-O'67:

Sounds like a good starter one for ya
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:24pm
WR:

Brisket, low and slow. One of my dad's passions. He made smokers for his friends, was forever tweaking wood chip blends. I've never indulged, live in an apt. in NYC.
Avatar 🥁 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

WR, your neighbours would probably be less than impressed lol
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:26pm
Candy-O'67:

Kris, I've got friends in Coupland who have a pig farm. Their bacon is incredible and they sell whole and half hogs, too, I believe. They sell other things too. You should check them out, Martin Heritage Farms. Coupland is just east of Elgin
Avatar 🥁 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

nice, sounds fantastic
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’ve passed through Candy when going between Taylor & Elgin.

Cool, Matt!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:30pm

Tell Misa I'm looking forward to getting my Thanksgiving goodies!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
Candy-O'67:

Gotta love some Conway Twitty!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m going to email Misa. I’ve ghosted her while I pondered the postage costs. I don’t care about getting them next week.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:32pm
Candy-O'67:

He sure does sound different here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m digging this version. Not sure I’ve heard it before.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:33pm
Candy-O'67:

Matt, it was a lot to send to my parents in North Louisiana, but we'll worth it! My dad loved the cookies!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:34pm
WR:

Something earlier today put me in a mood to binge on Alex Chilton...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:34pm
Candy-O'67:

What year did that Conway Twitty come out, Kris?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Matt from New Orleans:

1963
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Candy-O'67:

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:36pm
Candy-O'67:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:38pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Again
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Candy-O'67:

It did on mine, too
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Candy-O'67:

And then just on this Congo song
Avatar 🥁 10:39pm
Kris Holmes:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I was just listening to Congolese music on Monday
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:42pm

Matt from New Orleans:

I love Machito at the Crescendo
Avatar 🥁 10:48pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah, really varied catalog, very interesting
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Is your label orange or white? No orange for sale on Discogs. One white for over $11.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:55pm
Candy-O'67:

I like this better than the popular version of When a Man Loves a Wonan
Avatar 🥁 10:55pm
Kris Holmes:

This is the white with blue print
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:55pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This is solid
Avatar 🥁 10:56pm
Kris Holmes:

I rate Tommy McLain but wasn't sure he could nail this, I was wrong, nails it
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
Candy-O'67:

Totally!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:57pm
Candy-O'67:

Ooooh, I love Hello Stranger!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:57pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Far better than Michael Bolton’s effort
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:57pm
Candy-O'67:

Haha, Matt!
Avatar 🥁 10:57pm
Kris Holmes:

LOL, truth
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:58pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This is a solid version on the budget label
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:58pm
WR:

McLain did it, yes.

Please don't pollute my mind mentioning Bolton. LOL.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:59pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The anonymous Alpha Zoe
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:00pm
WR:

Solid version by the Sensational Nightingales. From the bass singer to the lead.
Avatar 🥁 11:01pm
Kris Holmes:

I think a researcher found her a while ago? I feel like I read an interview with her online?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:01pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Loving their Facebook profile

Discogs lists about a dozen names under Alpha Zoe. Who knows? I have no clue.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Jo Jo Wallace is looking amazing for 94
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:05pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Guitar Slim song?

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

How old were you in 1959 WR?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:08pm

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:09pm
Candy-O'67:

So fab you to got see Earl King, WR! I bet he put on a hell of a show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:10pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I saw Earl as well Candy
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He was great every time I saw him when I was younger
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
Matt from New Orleans:

www.geocities.ws...

Matt from New Orleans:

That website is ancient. I think this might be what you were talking about Kris
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:14pm
Candy-O'67:

I figured you did, Matt! ;)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:15pm
Candy-O'67:

Kris Holmes:

Matt you win the Googlenator, awesome!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
WR:

Larry Grogan's Toussaint show recently was nice. Listened to it twice already.
Avatar 🥁 11:19pm
Kris Holmes:

ah cool, Larry has good taste
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21pm
Matt from New Orleans:

WR Larry did a fantastic four part tribute when he passed. It’s on his blog. He recently did another four part series of his 70s work which is on the blog as well.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:21pm
WR:

This Dorsey tune and a couple by K-Doe were of rhe few primary versions he played, many were good lesser known versions of Toussaint songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:22pm
Matt from New Orleans:

When Larry mentioned that someone called him a Toussaint evangelist, that was me
Avatar 🥁 11:22pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:23pm
WR:

Thanks Matt. I have gone to Larry's web site but have got lazy and usually just choose one of the WFMU streams.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’ve read three books about Sun Records. Good Rockin Tonight, Sam Phillips The Man Who Invented Rock n Roll & Sun Records An Oral History
Avatar 🥁 11:32pm
Kris Holmes:

The Sam Phillips is the one I'm currently really enjoying.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:33pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I take that back. I also read Sun King the life & times of Sam Phillips...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That is a little excessive having seen that written down
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35pm
Matt from New Orleans:

They’re all really good too
Avatar 🥁 11:36pm
Kris Holmes:

ha! I remember the Good Rockin Tonight one being good too at least
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:37pm

I love books about music. I’ve read hundreds.
Avatar 🥁 11:38pm
Kris Holmes:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m surprised this didn’t hit on the Northern Circuit
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:39pm
WR:

Kris, you're hurting me with these Elvis movie releases.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It seems like something that could get pitched down and maybe be popcorn accessible
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m just tired and being silly now
Avatar 🥁 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

No you're right, they get played. Northern & Popcorn.

WR:

Ah, better, even with the crackling, that sounded better.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42pm

I like Laura Nyro’s version of High Heeled Sneakers on her Live at the Bottom Line album
Avatar 🥁 11:43pm
Kris Holmes:

never met a version i didn't like
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:44pm

I wonder if that is Earl Palmer drumming on that Sylvia Hill recording. Snappy.
Avatar 🥁 11:50pm
Kris Holmes:

it's highly possible
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

King Creole isn’t terrible. I’ve seen much worse movies. Jailhouse Rock & Viva Las Vegas are ok too. Those are the three I’ve seen more than once.
Avatar 🥁 11:53pm
Kris Holmes:

Jailhouse Rock isn't bad, agree
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55pm
Matt from New Orleans:
