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.

How old are these kids?
Avatar 11:01pm
Kris Holmes:

elementary
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I was a sleep away camp counselor one summer in college and I was terrible at it. There was one kid who was a serial bed wetter and unless I physically dragged his ass to the nurse every day to take his meds. I’d have to deal with his wet ass the next morning. I fucking hated that kid but he was so damn awkward aside from that that I couldn’t be mean to him in front of the other kids. I used to put four bunk beds together into a square and let them wrestle and jump off the top bunk. Thankfully none of them ever got hurt. They were going into sixth grade in the fall.

Yeah I like Out on the Floor, too.

Hank Marr has 'The Out Crowd' 45. Which for some reason doesn't have nearly as many covers. At least that I'm aware of.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:25pm
Little Danny:

Wow, this Idalia Boyd is cool. I dig that thudding fidelity
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:26pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hank is looking very Fats in the photo on Discogs www.discogs.com...

JtotheK:

This week in movie talk . . . I watched Chinatown, only had seen it one other time before ... at least 20 years ago. All so I could read the new book 'The Big Goodbye' which eventually will discuss Chinatown.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35pm
Little Danny:

Chinatown is certainly memorable, even though it's probably been ten years since I watched it in its entirety. And Faye Dunaway had a fantastic wardrobe.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:38pm
JtotheK:

Yeah, it was weird watching again after all this time - some scenes stuck out that I remembered, others ... felt like I was watching for the first time. But Jack's nose bandaged up, impossible to not look at!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I definitely watched Chinatown a fair amount of times in my life. Seen it on the big screen two or three times.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:40pm
JtotheK:

And Faye ... it's probably been 20 years since I watched Bonnie & Clyde; Thomas Crown Affair ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Even if Towne played around with history, it always seemed to me to be a true story of Los Angeles.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
JtotheK:

... and a while since I listened to CL Smooth rap about her "Making movies like your name is Faye Dunaway".
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
JtotheK:

I never did see The Two Jakes. I'm sure it'll show up on streaming services eventually.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44pm
Matt from New Orleans:

You didn’t miss much
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Maybe I’m being harsh in comparison as I never revisited after my initial viewing

BB singing it sweet.
