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.

That’s so weird I swapped out this Dave photo months ago.

Kris Holmes:

Hi guys, yeah, it's acting funky tonight
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:06pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Manu Dibango was one of my faves. Most of his work is unknown in this country. I was lucky enough to get vinyl rips in FLAC of twenty to thirty of his albums that never got CD releases and still aren’t on streaming services.

Kris Holmes:

Yes he was great, such a sad loss & agreed Soul Makossa was just a tip of an iceberg

He was prolific

Hearing the Timebox 'Beggin' 45 spun out at a Get Down was pretty nifty.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:49pm
Uncle Michael:

Timebox still gets my nod.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:49pm
Kris Holmes:

A clean copy sounds incredible over a huge system
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm
Uncle Michael:

Bob Gaudio, genius though.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:51pm
Kris Holmes:

I haven't played the Timebox 45 in ages, I always am finding 4 Seasons 45s & just play them for a while before onselling
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
chresti:

They don`t sound like bubble puppies.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
JtotheK:

Yeah I've found a couple copies of the 4 Seasons, never come across the Timebox 45.

I like to imagine the look on my dad's face if he'd seen an image of Bubble Puppy and heard the name.

Franco Twinkie:

Can we be frank about how retarded some people in the United States are in the face of all this ? Never mind, let's trip out, man!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm

Kris I really don’t want to vomit before I go to sleep

Hi Doc

Dean:

In the defense of the presently retarded, I have to interject that Americans have been ridiculous since, oh, the late 18th century or so. We've never had a monopoly on smarts.
  11:06pm
Dean:

(That Desmond Dekker tune sounded like Spandau Ballet's "True.")
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:07pm
Matt from New Orleans:

So they weren’t always fabulous?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:08pm
Kris Holmes:

Apparently not ha!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Franco Twinkie:

Dean, you and I are in total agreement. Unfortunately flattening of the curve is no where in sight.
  11:08pm
Dean:

Oh, gosh, no! Always fabulous! (But so fucking stupid.)
Avatar 11:08pm

(Insert one of many choice Mencken quotes here.)

Ordinarily, I'm a fan of curves. This is just so disconcerting.

Matt from New Orleans:

Louie Vega did a great remix of Barely Breaking Even last year. Leroy Burgess still going strong. Released a new album.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
Franco Twinkie:

Still b/p, I have to say, your dad might be right on the money regarding The Bubble Puppy. I can only imagine how your average Texan might have reacted in 1968 if those guys walked into the coffee shop.

Quoting JtotheK from Doug 'Give The Drummer' show when this Timmy Thomas was spun: "I like this Timmy Thomas take on Sade."

Otis chewing on cables?
  11:17pm
Dean:

My namesake broke in!
  11:17pm

I was in fact named after this guy.

Kris your internet is being janky

That`s great Dean.
  11:20pm
Dean:

Frequent reversions to the stream: Dean Martin, Akana Man...
  11:21pm
Dean:

Thanks, chresti. Point of pride. Also, my parents have a cocktail napkin from Dean's club on the Sunset Strip, signed by some other celeb.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm
JtotheK:

I enjoy the comments from Misa in the background. Excellent DJ duo chatter!
  11:23pm
Dean:

Thanks again, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Get it right once, will ya?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
chresti:

My middle name is after Ava Gardner.That napkin story is good, too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:23pm
JtotheK:

Dean - that napkin story reminds me of a personal favorite Simpsons joke "That is a picture of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore."
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:24pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah not sure what's up with the internet, maybe everyone in the world is watching netflix?
  11:24pm
Dean:

Maybe your parents and mine had drinks together at Dean's, chresti?
  11:25pm
Dean:

Exactly, JtotheK. Definitely wasn't Dean.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
Franco Twinkie:

Dean, what might your name been if your parents frequented Alan Hales Lobster Barrel on La Cienega, Skipper?
  11:27pm
Dean:

Well, they almost named me Lawry.

Haha, I think they only went out in Chicago, back then.

I have a found memory of the first time Chresti ever came to my apartment. She went straight for a shoe box full of 45's and pulled out Mother-In-Law.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:33pm
Kris Holmes:

that's cool
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
WR:

Hi all y'all. Kris, when is that Hampton from? If that was the fusion sounding track. I was thinking it was Dreams or some other Brecker Bros. project.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:52pm
Kris Holmes:

That was Hampton, it's a Chick Corea song, from the late 70s I think, the 45 is from 79, not sure when the recording is from though
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57pm
chresti:

Thanks Kris! Take care everyone!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57pm
