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.

Kris Holmes:

not otis, that one just skipped unexpectedly by itself
Avatar 10:04pm
still b/p:

Was this in Dirty Dancing or something? I like the song, but there's some vague later faintly spoiling association with a cheesy movie.

the contours were so good...and motown was too stupid to propel them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:04pm
Uncle Michael:

Always blame Otis.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:04pm

c'mon Kris, you can afford a non-skipping version of the Contours!

I don't think I'd ever noticed it before, but this Patterson seems to evoke a bit of Sly and the Family Stone

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
Little Danny:

p.s. Me too, though I'm just now sorting out the catalog. How many Motown 45s you reckon you own?
Avatar 11:14pm
Kris Holmes:

oh man, at least a couple hundred, maybe more
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
Little Danny:

Whoa. I have like ten max but am looking to expand their population
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:16pm
JtotheK:

there's so much to learn about lesser known motown 45s. satintones 'my kind of love' was a new one to me this year.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm
JtotheK:

temptations 'girl why you wanna make me blue' is another one - i gotta find a clean copy of that 45.
Avatar 11:19pm
Kris Holmes:

I have 312 on Motown, Tamla & Gordy........ also I have some on Soul but can't get a quick tally on those
Avatar 11:24pm
Kris Holmes:

Jason, yep, such a deep catalog once you delve in, even like with that Temps track, with the major artists
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm
Little Danny:

Hey Jason! Agreed. Fave recent Motown acquisition have been the Spinners' "I'll Always Love You," Marvin Gaye's "When I Had Your Love" and the Isleys' "Why When Love Is Gone."
Avatar 11:29pm
Kris Holmes:

that Isley's is killer
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
JtotheK:

spinners 'truly yours' on motown is good, too. that isleys is great.
Avatar 11:35pm
Kris Holmes:

Spinners on Motown, I don't know if there is a bad side really.

Not sure how it's possible, but I'm still unpacking, organizing my new home. I feel more comfortable at work, so, I'm getting off earlier (even though there is usually no one there and it's an honor system) Thanks for the digdugs, Kris!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:46pm
JtotheK:

good evening to you danny!
Avatar 11:48pm

2 months, I've been working long hours to ensure they no I'm capable and solving their long neglected problems. I've also been researching subtropical botanic ecosystems so I sound like I know what I'm talking about at work (reading after work). Also, reconnecting w/ my brothers every third weekend since they're only 2+ hours away. I also lost a week + due to hurricane Irma and had to make up the time at work. salud Kris!

Thanks Jason! And, wow NGH, you sound swamped!!!! Take it easy all, thanks for being here!
