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.

You should have haggled, Kris.

Naps usually wreck me, too — brain fog and sore muscles. But I find them impossible to resist.

I've been so tired the last couple of days. I lay down at 7pm & the next thing it's 8.40 & I have to do the show!! Crazy

Good that you don’t spend the hours of prep that Danny does Kris

I think I'm the only person that can cut myself w/ an electric razor. (I've had to retire many shirts and pants due to blood stains I wasn't aware of).

I haven’t used one in years @NGH but can’t say that ever happened to me

For us that do not reside in Jersey City can pen emails?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Got ya NGH. It’s been so long that I don’t even remember cutting myself but I’m sure it must have happened at some point. I have a clotting issue as well(ITP) but I haven’t had to get treatment for it in around 20 years. If I was to ever get really sick, I’m sure it would reappear as my condition is chronic.

I'll pen one tomorrow, but 300 words is briefer then If I was to expouse all of the educational virtues of WFMU.

Matt from New Orleans:

Steven Fulop the mayor of Jersey City is a bit of a jackass. I used to be involved with Friends of Loew’s Jersey when I lived up there. One of the first things he did as mayor is try to give the theater to AEG to let them run it even though the city had a lease with Friends of Loew’s Jersey. Volunteers have been restoring the theater for years without any significant financial assistance from the city. I’ll try to write a short message but might struggle with being civil.

Thanks team

Lived in NY I meant. I never lived in Jersey City but would go out there to see movies at Loews Jersey or to grab Indian food with a friend who lived there in early 00s.

I can also provide footnotes and citations. If I'm wrting for business or gov't purposes, I revert to my old academic self.

Supposed to rain again tomorrow afternoon around the time I’m supposed to leave. Hopefully I won’t get delayed. The reduced flight schedule may help with that.

G'day HyperD, coffee was pretty good, for French Press. Not my favourite method. & the chat was nice, old girlfriend, still close friends for over 20 years.✌😎

Me neither Scott. Prefer pour over myself.

Kris Holmes:

Yeah, Sain was getting down on that one
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:27pm

And the Timmie Rogers, yeah CB territory but the guitarist added more flavor of his own than the many others I've heard.
Avatar 11:28pm
Kris Holmes:

Wonder who was on guitar actually?
