Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections β€” from record digging and DJing around the globe β€” 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.

There's a certain model/year of Cadillac had a diamond shaped rear window & that's the "diamond in the back"

still b/p:

I'd always assumed it was a reference to a customized feature, like the TV antenna. And 70s Caddies and Continentals with other modified and added street-showy elements sometimes had custom opera window shapes. Although now I've just seen pics of full rear window replaced with opaque section around fair-sized diamond shaped glass.

Were these all digging acquisitions for future sale?
Avatar 10:34pm
Kris Holmes:

Not all. I don't think I have Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd, Shirley & Shep, Holland-Dozier, so they're getting filed. Reggie Garner is a condition upgrade.

Matt from New Orleans:

I’ll agree partially with Kris but I also think it’s good and important for Tina to tell her own story in her own words which is not something that has occurred enough. But it wasn’t revelatory for me.

It’s on HBO Candy
