Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections β€” from record digging and DJing around the globe β€” 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.

Candy, matt! I did some work on the Mel & Tim Sundazed CD, but don't think any of it made the cut. Sometimes, my stuff didn't get in projects, but usually.

It's definitely been a summer for the record books

Hi Kris, WLSClark, Matt, Candy. I used to think that Jr Walker is a one trick pony, but a track I heard yesterday and this track are convincing me otherwise.

Hey WR. Kris, Venus was a song (and picture sleeve) everyone loved/loves.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m glad you’re glad. I would have left it and not just because I don’t buy vinyl. Have heard Venus more than enough times in my life. The b side significantly less so but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

the spot he went to in Madison, Strictly Discs - i haven't been to in ... ages. watching the documentary made me realize just how limited my in-person record shopping has been during the pandemic.

Agreed, on the pleasant part.
You gotta get out there again my man, the records aren't gonna find themselves.
It's what we do!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm
JtotheK:

it also prompted some reflection of when i'd bounce around to different stores with Flavor Dave for a full day/afternoon record shopping, or books, etc etc.

I pulled up to a local spot just as Alex was walking out with a stack one time, I thought to myself, why bother lol

the local indie store chain 'exclusive company' recently ceased operations, but the one in MKE that i'd go to was purchased by a record buddy that i haven't seen in a few years, and is now a new shop. so that's cool!
