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.

Welcome back. Do you know a DJ from New Zealand Chris Langston? He does a radio show that I listen to.
Avatar 9:50pm
Kris Holmes:

I don't know him, just looked him up on Facebook, he's from the opposite end of a different island pretty much, but we don't even have any DJ friends in common. Weird. I might have left NZ before he started?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:58pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Don’t really know him at all. He plays soul, funk & disco. He partners with a woman in Melbourne named Caroline Smee. They split the show. One hour each.

Glad that you seemingly made it there and back healthy

Gonna try to get cover tests to make sure but that's nearly impossible here at the moment, we're asymptomatic at the very least

I'll have to wait until I move back to Orlando to get tested. I'm currently in a county w/ no testing facilities (FL). I should be moving this weekend.

@Matt: "Cookies". One of the few times where capitalization actually was necessary. (I'd be have quizzical dog look, otherwise).

Matt from New Orleans:

Animal Crossing?
Avatar 10:22pm
northguineahills:

15 ninutes record shopping? Amateur! (I used to subject my wife to 3-4 hours of torture every time I hit a record store, I'd have to look at EVERY record before making my decisions). It might have contributed to her banning me from record stores, not just the lack of room issue....
Avatar 10:22pm
Kris Holmes:

nah, not animal crossing, zoo something
Avatar 10:23pm
Kris Holmes:

15mins is super lightweight but seems to have cured her

Matt from New Orleans:

You’re missing some punctuation. S.O.U.L. One of the most obnoxious band name spellings in our search engine age.
Avatar 10:26pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha, true. Sounds Of Urban Living
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm
JtotheK:

I haven't done any record shopping at area stores in months. But did procure the Soul 'Can You Feel It' LP from area store discogs page, took a chance on a not great condition copy but it plays great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm

Welcome back Mr Holmes, hi everyone!

Hi Jason. I like both their albums.

Hi Jason. That's cool. I like it when things like that work out.

I got some cdrs from WFMU a few weeks ago, other then that, I've only got what musicians have given me in person as a gift (I'm rather skint).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Is there something special about the Fontana issue of Jamie to justify the outrageous prices vs the US original issue?
Avatar 10:34pm
northguineahills:

(in the beforetime).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m enjoying the shaming
Avatar 10:36pm
northguineahills:

I used to play sound fx records when I had a cat, and my cthulhlu, was the cat super confused (especially the bird call records).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Are you going to have to drive there and back again?
Avatar 10:43pm
northguineahills:

I once drove I-10 from Jacksonville to San Diego, only stopping at San Antonio (had to see the historic sites there). But I was still in uni, and youthy, never again).
Avatar 10:43pm
Kris Holmes:

I believe we'll be doing the drop in El Paso, roughly half way. But not 100% sure yet.
Avatar 10:44pm
Kris Holmes:

The 10 is brutal
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Indeed especially in the summer
Avatar 10:46pm
northguineahills:

yeah the stretch from SA to CA is (beautifully monotonous). On the way back, I stopped in El Paso and went to Ciudad Juarez (starting my love affair w/ Mexico). (oddly, the ugliest city in Mexico I've ever been)>
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

My good friend Ari grew up in El Paso. His family owns the music store that sells to all the schools in that area and Las Cruces.

Kris Holmes:

Also, we realise that saying "The" 10 is a holdover from our time in LA, no one else says "The", it's just I-10 or 10, unlike The 405 or the 101, weird.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I went and visited him in college in the summer in the late 90s. It was pretty boring and hot. The only cool thing we did was driving out to Carlsbad Caverns which had some excellent natural air conditioning.
Avatar 10:51pm
Kris Holmes:

Juarez is a real contrast as you pass by
Avatar 11:00pm
northguineahills:

@Kris: when things go back to normal, try the drive to Monterrey (I believe it's about 4-5 hours, my wife used to go to SA from there for shows when she was in uni). It's like TX, but nicer, and the cartel problem disappeared 7 years ago. Found some many good rekkids there, and there are some cool clubs that attract decent bands and djs (myself, notwithstanding). (most people speak English).
Avatar 11:02pm
Kris Holmes:

nice, I just got my passport again so that is a great idea!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm

Did you have to go through Murray? I’m sure he fucked it up if you did.

Yeah, their Prix, Capsoul etc Columbus comps turned a lot of people on to those artists

Hot, hot topic.

I have some questions for you Franco but I’m too tired now. I’ll bother you during Danny’s show. It’s about a restaurant in Glendale. Nothing personal.

I’m putting the phone down. Have a good night everyone. I’ll continue listening.

I can't eat simple carborhydrates, dairy, and random preservatives, except the latter, I occasionally eat the the former two and suffer the consequences. I only cook vegan, even though I'm an omnivore, but I don't really have recipes, as I cook from memory.

Franco Twinkie:

Thursday,copy that.

If I can put any of my dishes in writing (mostly Mexican-East Asian fusion), meat can be added, I'll send some to Kris.

great, thanks!

I said to Chresti "They're talking about southern dessert!" With a mouth full of toothpaste she said "I'm not interested, it probably has marshmallows in it." Sheesh!
Avatar 11:58pm
northguineahills:

oh, I got a good recipe, that's easy. I'll try to write it out tomorrow night (it's time for unconsciousness), Oaxacan udon noodles...
