Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from April 2, 2019 Favoriting

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.

Hey Kris I just had to uninstall and reinstall the tunein app because it wouldn’t connect to tunein. I’d been avoiding doing it all day and just listened to mixcloud. I don’t like listening in web browsers on my phone because they have a tendency to randomly refresh the page in the background thus disconnecting the stream and I really wanted to listen to your show.

well i'm glad you made it, i haven't used TuneIn for a number of years, strictly the WFMU web player here.

I read about a vinyl shop in Boyle Heights that opened up a few years ago. Haven’t been but read that there’s a Latin focus. Sonido Del Valle
