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.

I first heard this Gene Vincent track on the Armed Forces Network radio in Japan when I was 10, in 1986. Me and my friends would substitute crude words for the actual lyrics (some in Japanese).

For those that know Japanese, there is a profane word that rhymes w/ Lula.....

Mostly, I think I keep a copy of Too Late To Turn Back filed because it's pretty damn great
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
JtotheK:

@docjazz - brief internet research finds there's a 12" single of do it w style, and that's a sub-genre I wish I knew more about, I like a lot of the 8-11 min disco singles that get a chance to stretch out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s solid but not long enough and the Discogs prices are insane for it.
Avatar 10:32pm

My accent varies from the last person I was talking to, podcast, or movie. It's only when someone ask me about my accent, I get it back to FL Southern or NYC Yankee (my two natural accents).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm
doctorjazz:

I have a bunch of 12 inch disco singles somewhere (think they're downin the basement...don't make me go down there). Think I have the Cornelius Lewis on a CD compilation somewhere, though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
JtotheK:

@Matt NO - further internet research, discogs has the 'Columbia Records Disco Series' label which has a Maynard Ferguson disco 12" single that I /think/ I heard was a desirable disco track, maybe heard on Duane Train?
Avatar 10:37pm
northguineahills:

Dr Jazz: I think I mentioned this before, but when organizing a rave at an abandoned train depot, I found a room full of disco 12"s. I took as many as I could put in my car.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:38pm

Ah! Duane Train, episode with Maynard Ferguson 'Pagliacci' - but a re-edit. wfmu.org...

@Dr Jazz: That stash is being sold off by a friend (I needs the dollars).

She did, Matt. I saw her! It was at the Ace Hotel where they moved everything to on that Saturday, the last Stomp

The second best record find, was the Jacksonville Library, where I got a multiple armfuls of avant garde and jazz recs for 50 cents each. Also, in Bed-Stuy, at a junk shop, I found a bunch of Cage and Stockhausen, jazz, R&B and funk records, and I got to name price. ($10)

JtotheK:

was in OKC for work stuff close to 10 years ago, my colleague had the rental car (not me) so no excursions for post-work record digging. but around that time area record store came up with thousands of 45s from OKC. and then shortly after that, a different friend was in OKC and came up with a lot of great 45s - wonder if it was from that same shop, Mr. Holmes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
doctorjazz:

Love this Malo!

Kris Holmes:

Probably not since this guy keeps anything OK
Avatar 11:06pm
Kris Holmes:

That drive between Dallas & OKC is actually kinda nice through the mountains
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
JtotheK:

(whereas - when I was in Canada for work, I was able to convince a different coworker to drag me to Kops Records - multiple times - to dig for 45s. helped that there was a brewery/restaurant right up the road.) ((I would like to go back to CA and Kops Records again someday. I met the owner and let him know that I bought his book.))
Avatar 11:08pm
Kris Holmes:

cool, never been to kops
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
JtotheK:

It's great! And the owner knew the owner of area record store near my work. Kind of fun that all those dudes who have shops and were around ca. 1970s know each other.
