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.

Evening Kris. Hopefully no one died this week that we need to tribute.

Good to see you’ve raised $271 before the marathon even started. What is your goal? I think 40 of that is from me as I split my SWL three ways.

Think it might be on WFMU’s end as all the streams are silent

Matt, all the streams are pumping out the jams. Sorry to say, I think the problem is local to you.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It was Doug. I turned my phone off and back on and it’s working. 🤷‍♂️ Odd. I was able to use simple radio app without issue but the WFMU app wouldn’t work so it wasn’t the internet per se just some weird bug on my iPhone that resolved itself.

Just as long as you're getting your precious vacay, Kris!

Mr Holmes, there are talks that I may be in Dallas in May for a work conference. Looks like a 4 hour ish drive from San Antonio. Will you be able to chauffeur me around to area shops?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:27pm
WLSClark:

↳ Kris Holmes @10:23
Maybe, but likely from writers acetate or some other early version????

You should look up my bud Vincent The Soul Chef Jason. He’s based in the Dallas area now and likes to go digging. I met him through Larry Grogan.

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm

Matt I think I've heard some Soul Chef mixes featured on the F16C blog at some point ... years ago. But thanks for the tip!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:34pm
Kris Holmes:

↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:33
Exactly, pick up a rental in Austin & drive to Dallas Sunday night after digging Fri/Sat/Sun

I should know more in 2 weeks or so if the conference is a 'go' or not. But yes, if I could swing it with schedule that would be fun!

Nah! They had already eaten on the way. We're going out to dinner tomorrow night. I made a Green Chef meal and dad had a bite of my fish. That's all he wanted. I fed Mom popcorn! That's all she wanted. Haha

They had an 8- hour road trip today. So, they're tired
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:53pm

Some snow yes, was a bit messy for morning commute. I work from home and have been so busy I only saw a bit out the window this morning. DoctorJazz had to communte from his home in central New Jersey to Staten Island, didn't yet ask him how it was.

Both my parents are 77 and there’s no way they’d drive that much in one day Candy
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm
Candy-O'67:

↳ Matt from New Orleans @11:14
My parents don't do it often, but they are young for their age. My dad drives quite a bit still.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That story was so bizarre and the chance to actually move the records successfully for even a fraction of what their worth without raising suspicions was minimal so someone sociopath hiring goons to steal them to add to their collection was what came to mind as insane as that was
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:25pm
Kris Holmes:

↳ Matt from New Orleans @11:23
Yep, those records aren't publicly getting sold easily at all
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm

WR:

Just caught up on reading the comments, will listen to the archive to hear about the record theft story, missed that. And speaking of your stories/announcements, yes, your Syl Johnson show last year was excellent, I relistened to it a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the tracks tonight, Kris.
