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 can see clearly now that I was hot for teacher. How’s it going Kris?

Ha, indeed. All good here. More weather coming your way Matt?

Matt from New Orleans:

Let’s hope not. The track shifted west and I hope it stays that way or even more west. I say that but if so it will be the second hurricane to hit that area this year. I hope it breaks up in the gulf.

I literally just revisited 2 weeks ago for the first time in ages
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:11pm
Candy-O'67:

Ok, I got a true story for you guys. Went to see them about '84 or '85 at the Coliseum in Houston. Me and a couple of my groupie girlfriends at the time found out they were staying at the White Hall in DT Houston after the show. We went over there hoping to meet the roadies or something to meet at least David Lee Roth. He was our goal! haha! Anyway, we were waiting by the elevators for some reason and all of a sudden the doors open and there's David Lee Roth sitting there on a bench in the elevator with a chick on each side of him. He leaned out at us and said, "Hello ladies," and then the door shut! We about crapped our pants and were screaming so loud! We couldn't believe it! I can still remember it like it was yesterday!

Franco Twinkie:

Stan Ridgway told me he was in a music class with Eddy and David at Pasadena City College. Everybody had to get up and do a presentation of some sort -tink tink, tink. Then Eddy got up and, well, did Eddy. Every one just got real quite. Even back then he was already EDDY.

For years at Poobah Records in Pasadena they had the page from Eddy's high school yearbook ripped out and stuck on the wall. He was the dude in Pasadena.

Candy-O'67:

Just thought of another story. When I was a freshman and sophomore in HS before I had my driver's license, I road to school with a guy friend that lived in my neighborhood. He had a Trans Am and we used to go down this parkway road every day and this one section, he would speed up to 100 every day and I remember he'd usually be playing Van Halen the whole way to school!! So much fun and I'm so glad we never crashed speeding that much every single day!!

The only Joyce Mitchell I’ve thought about is the prison guard who helped the two convicts escape in upstate NY. It was turned into a miniseries on HBO I think with Patricia Arquette & Benicio Del Toro.

probably not the same lady

hmmmm, did i write it as by Roy Head solo?

No oddly I first starred it when you played it in April but the star wasn’t marked. It’s the same track. It doesn’t fill in the stars subsequently.

Vulcan Princess is a worthwhile 45
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35pm

I didn’t even get why it was edited for the 45. It’s only 4 minutes on the album 3:14 on the 45. It’s not like it was ever going to be a hit.
