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.

Avatar 10:34pm

I got it, Matt! I've barely skimmed it, though. Lots of cool pics and info, though! It would be well worth it to add to your collection some day :)
Avatar 10:44pm
Kris Holmes:

Mind Over Matter is such a great 45. I will check my finances in the new year & see if I can spoil myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I think I’ll wait for a hopefully paperback second edition

Deke is doing a great version of Love Man!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
Candy-O'67:

Yes, Matt. I used to see them quite a bit when I lived in LA

Ok, I lost internet for awhile, and now it sounds like Bo Diddley through a vocoder and extra reverb, actually, pretty cool.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
JtotheK:

hiya NGH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Avatar 10:59pm
Kris Holmes:

Yes it was sampled
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The tighten up confused me at first but then it just became a slightly funkier version of a song I can’t stand.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:09pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I like record kicks
Avatar 11:14pm
Kris Holmes:

ha @ "slightly funkier version of a song i can';t stand"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:16pm

It’s not even a Christmas song but has become one over the years. Another one written by Jews.
Avatar 11:23pm
northguineahills:

Thanks J to the K! (finally got real internet back...)

Haven't got or heard that LP, just what I read in Wikipedia.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:47pm

Regarding getting through the alphabet, I was wondering if this was the 2nd pass, since you started WFMU show in 2016 and you are near the beginning of the alphabet.
Avatar 11:48pm
Kris Holmes:

I did not start the alphabet until last years sometime?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
