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 found some rock 45s tucked away in a box so i thought i'd break them out for the first bit of the show tonight
Avatar 10:20pm

I don't know anyone who had many rock 45s, with most "rock" selections in the period found on everybody's albums and 8-tracks. 45s were the poppy thing. Wonder what kind of sales these acts reached with 45s?

I may have been the world's leading 12-year-old Tull fan in 1972.

That's why I had to pick up unplayed rock 45s when I saw them, not as common clean as you'd expect.

I (age 13 or just 14) bought Aqualung and Thick As a Brick at the same time, because the guys I was hanging with liked 'em. So I hadda!
Was at a backyard party this fall with several musicians playing around the circle, and a guy started playing Locomotive Breath...on an autoharp.

Locomotive Breath on an Autoharp?? That could be incredible!!!

How did American rap work its way down to NZ in the late '80s?
Avatar 10:46pm
Kris Holmes:

NZ was an early adopter of Hip Hop. It was huge. One of our NZ groups even traveled to the US to perform with PE & PE toured there a couple of times in their prime.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:47pm
Little Danny:

Wow, that's awesome

the production on these PE albums is so amazing

I pretty much gutted my extensive hip hop 7" collection back in the late 2000's when Japanman & Euroman were paying good money but I kept a few classics.
Avatar 10:52pm
still b/p:

The autoharp moment was pretty fun. He starts the riff...."Wait, what is that...? It's.....no,wait it's..." And then someone hit the vocal. I don't think they made it all the way through, but given the surprise and setting, I say well played, gentlemen.

yeah, sounds like a moment!

I didn't see lot of hip hop live, I saw Ice Tea wit Body Count opening. Body Count was the loudest band I ever saw. I saw the Beasties on Lollapalooza one year.
Avatar 10:58pm
Kris Holmes:

I just read Body Count are doing some festival soon!! Had no idea they were still a thing. I still have Ice T's debut 45 on Saturn "The Coldest Rap".

Somene made a cool documentary about DJ Monica and De La Soul are in it.

Is that a sample from Best of My Love by the Emotions in there on Say No Go? Reminds me that I just caught a mid-70s TV appearance by Labelle doing Lady Marmalade with lyrics apparently and surprisingly altered to clean up some of the suggestiveness. Kept us safe from devil music.
Avatar 11:13pm
Kris Holmes:

yeah it's an emotions sample

It's lights-out time here. Play me out, Kris. Great stuff.
