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.

Bring it, Kris! Hey Matt!

Hey Kris. I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s show. Still have no idea what caused the meltdown last week.

Matt from New Orleans:

Hi Candy

Enjoyed all the chaos as you attempted to do the mic breaks

Kris Holmes:

Hi Matt, glad you liked it, I felt like it was a abnormally good one for some reason. Hi Candy!
Avatar 10:04pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha, yep, mic break chaos is the name of the game here

Matt from New Orleans:

I’m just glad that the hurricanes aren’t going to affect me this week but feel bad for the people along the border. It seems like Laura is going to be like a runaway freight train.
Avatar 10:07pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah, Houston is bracing
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:18pm
Matt from New Orleans:

A friend of mine in the UK(Pete Mitchell) who passed away suddenly earlier this year had the quixotic idea of collecting every piece of vinyl Jame Brown ever released. When I pressed him as to the edge cases, he would start announcing arbitrary criteria. You’re making me think of him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19pm
Candy-O'67:

Hey, Matt! I'm happy the hurricanes aren't affecting New Orleans either! I was just watching about Laura. Looks like she might go in around Sabine Pass area, which is better for Houston and Galveston.

I have a friend who was doing that but he gave up

Hi Kris & streamers. Just got connected, so missed the opening mic break. Any particular reason for the James Brown feature?
Avatar 10:24pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi WR, nope, just because.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The C box wasn’t calling to you?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
WR:

Just because it's James Brown is good enough for sure.
Avatar 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

Matt, actually, I deduced we were up to Dee Brown last & I got that box out & it was pretty much filled the rest of the way with James Brown 45s so I just went with it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Sounds good. I can’t remember.
Avatar 10:36pm
Kris Holmes:

this one still has the Louisiana Music Factory price sticker on it

Cool. They’re still around on Frenchmen St these days.

gonna have to check that out

WR:

My little James Brown story. I lived in San Antonio in 72 - 74. Worked in a record store on San Pedro, just south of North Star Mall. I always stocked every James Brown record but we didn't sell any for a year or so until some college students from Africa found the store. They kept coming back for more, making James Brown a solid catelogue and new release seller. When they first found us and what we stocked (all that was in print at that time) they were laughing and singing bits of tunes, great seeing their enthusiasm.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm
WR:

LOL, what's that called, letter of authentication or whatever that the article is the real thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I saw James in that era
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
Candy-O'67:

I saw him, too, in Houston at Rockafeller's back in the '90's and the place was really cool. It was a historic building, had been a bank back in the 20's or something. It was like a theater now, very cool place to see him! He had a very long intro, too, I remember, and the cape! haha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
Candy-O'67:

I think he could still do the splits!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Candy-O'67:

Rockefeller's - couldn't type!
Avatar 11:34pm

I really want a cape

That would be dope! ha!

Can’t forget about Hot Pants Road
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That’s a killer 45 with pass the peas on the flip
Avatar 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

Yep, all my JBs 45s are filed under J though so we have to wait a while....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Indeed. I wasn’t asking you to play it tonight. Hot Pants just reminded me of its more ridiculous named sibling.
