	♥ 10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Evening Kris & Clark and anyone else who might show up
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "It's All Over" by "The Unifics" Love that fanfare! Reminds me of that movie theater music, is it coming attractions? from the 1970s
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: Hi Matt, Chili & Peter
	♥ 10:09pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "Girl I Think I Love You" by "Unity" Ooooowee this is niiice. 👌
	♥ 10:09pm Matt from New Orleans: Did you end up seeing Skeme Saturday Kris?
	10:10pm Kris Holmes: ↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:09 I did not
	10:12pm WLSClark: Hi Kris, Chili, Matt, DJ and all soulbenders.
	♥ 10:12pm Matt from New Orleans: There will definitely be some Vs & Ws Kris but X, Y & Z won’t have much I’m guessing. So are you going to start planning out shows again after a few years of the alphabet when nothing new was about? I’ve enjoyed the journey through the 45 boxes so that wasn’t a criticism just curious.
	♥ 10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Chili & Peter
	♥ 10:13pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Song: "More Than Enough" by "Universal Togetherness Band" Numero just doesn’t miss. 🔥👍
	10:13pm WLSClark: Am I wrong or is this the first in along time since you were back to playing alphabet 45s?
	♥ 10:14pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:13 Hey there Matt
	♥ 10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: ↳ WLSClark @10:13 You probably just went to sleep before it happened each show
	10:14pm Kris Holmes: ↳ WLSClark @10:13 Been in & out briefly, usually after you turn in for the night, but prob the first full alpha show in a while
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:13 Hey Matt! Say, who is that in your GIF, is it Otis Redding? You don't know who the woman dancer is, do you?
	♥ 10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: ↳ DJ Peter @10:15 Yup and don’t know who the dancer is
	10:17pm JtotheK: Hiya Mr. Holmes, everyone. I found in area store cheapie bins 2 different Christmas Muzak LPs, and the James Last Christmas record. Figured I’d report that here.
	10:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Kris Holmes @10:14 aah, I did not know. Thanks! Will be turning in tonight early too. Same cold I had last week. Ugh
	10:22pm Kris Holmes: ↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:12 Not sure actually Matt, maybe start again & hit alternates by artists since I'm only playing one by everyone. Theme shows are such a commitment. Or maybe it's a good time to finish the show?
	10:24pm JtotheK: Finish the show?!?! Bah! Start going thru the LPs, one track per side! Then repeat!
	♥ 10:24pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Kris and all!!!
	10:24pm Kris Holmes: ↳ JtotheK @10:17 Jason, there are so many actual good xmas records out there, don't encourage the lesser ones lol
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: ↳ JtotheK @10:24 You forget that I hate LPs, currently culling LPs to sell, get them outta here!!!
	10:28pm Kris Holmes: I also could start on the Rock 45 boxes, gospel 45 boxes or Jazz 45 boxes
	♥ 10:28pm Matt from New Orleans: You do whatever you want Kris. I hope you don’t stop doing the show.
	10:32pm JtotheK: Re: Holiday tunes - we have people over for cookie decorating, I try to find stuff not heard on local commercial radio to keep it interesting. Note I didn’t say “good”, but “interesting” - though I spin good stuff, too!
	10:35pm JtotheK: Re: LPs - I’ve been opposite lately! Cutting down on “mid or less” 45s via local store trade and getting back to LPs. Though now I have to organize LPs and likely find a bunch to get outta here. Pruning.
	♥ 10:36pm Chili MacPagoda: ↳ Kris Holmes @10:22 As long as you’re not sick of it, you should keep going. This show is one of my favorite discoveries for 2023, to the point that I wish I got hip to it sooner! Just my own thoughts but it seems to me that you’ve built up something special here.
	10:37pm JtotheK: Kris - What era rap LPs? I was surprised at how desirable late 80s early 90s stuff is going for. And then some early 2000’s stuff that didn’t have large press runs initially.
	♥ 10:39pm Chili MacPagoda: My fave holiday rekkid is Christmas With Jimmy McGriff. It goes into heavy rotation starting this weekend.
	10:40pm Kris Holmes: ↳ JtotheK @10:37 mid/late 80s rap commons
	10:42pm JtotheK: Yeah the McGriff one is solid, so is the Jimmy Smith. I found a Duke Ellington Christmas album in the cheapie bin, too.
	10:42pm Kris Holmes: ↳ JtotheK @10:42 Jimmy Smith get's played here
	10:42pm Kris Holmes: Weird mix on this Cookie V
	♥ 10:50pm Candy-O'67: Hey Kris and everyone! Joined a few minutes ago on way home from grocery. Sounding fab!
	♥ 10:51pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Candy & Jason
	♥ 10:52pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Matt from New Orleans @10:51 Hey there Matt!
	♥ 10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Cornelia Redmond Discogs says
	10:55pm JtotheK: Re: book review. Ugh. I have it on my “to read” pile but as Matt suggested a few shows ago - expectations will be set to “Low” …
	10:59pm Kris Holmes: Cornelia!
	11:00pm JtotheK: Re: hip hop & books - been seeing some recent-ish books I want to read. Including about hip hop & sampling; late 90s/early 2000s instrumental hip hop (which for a time I was into and then went away from but now that I’m so incredibly old would like to get back into especially as I like furniture music more and more).
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: garthcartwright.substack.com...
	11:14pm JtotheK: ^^ Read the review. Oh my. Expectations lowered further! But, I will seek out the other book, the oral history referenced in that review!
	♥ 11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: On that note, I’m going to sleep 😂
