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.

Phillippe Bastille:

We aren't seeing any lines for grocery stores around here. the only kind of dumb thing I've seen is that our local grocery store has instituted their social distancing boundaries but then they open two lanes across from each other with a shared aisle so the customers are standing back to back about a foot apart.

coelacanth∅:

so far i haven't waited to get into either local supermarket. (but i walked out empty-handed from the first and with 2/3 of what i wanted from the 2nd)
but today i waited for >25 minutes to get into the "health-food" store. in that time not a single person exited the store and there were 4-5 people in front of me. knowing they probably don't have any rice or rolled oats anyway i went somewhere else; came back and the line was about 10-12 people long. i gave up.
