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.

You know...sometimes I get a little nostalgic for Radio Ponsonby. That custom built DJ desk you worked from was sweet AF.

He broke it down after that project ended, as I recall. I don't think he had any way of transporting or storing it.

I need to get more familiar with Marv's discography - I only have "With All That's In Me" and "Don't Leave Me"

UM, know what you mean. You could easily camp out there. There's a huge flea market on Sundays at Fairfax High,might be worth a look. I've seen record crates there.

yeah i liked exploring out in Joshua Tree & Yucca Valley when I lived there

Family gathering. Just getting away for Amoeba will take some finesse.

I'll be in L.A. in a month, too, UM. And I hope then again a month later (Zeke at Whisky).

Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Dean.

I'll be listening to the second hour in the dark, Kris. I'm enjoying this!

Night all.
  11:03pm
Dean:

I knew you'd ask. Hard to pin down. Flat Tracker is a must, but it's raw and brief. But the opening track, "T-500" is worth it. "Live and Uncensored" is a good record of the Jeff Matz days. Kicked in the Teeth features "Twisted." Death Alley's "Arkansas Man" is the best of that record. Point is, you have to see this band live. I first saw them at a record store in Hollywood, and I've since seen them in Seattle, LA, and Oakland many times. Eh, I'd say start with Kicked in the Teeth or Dirty Sanchez, the old iteration of the band. The live album is great for the Matz period. Nothing from the latest iteration yet.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm

Haha, these Hit 45s are awesome. I love that Leroy sang from the first person as "Bobby."
