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 was trying to think what else fits that groove, too. A buncha Richard Evans productions on Cadet/Chess/Checker for one

hey Kris, what was the music you talked over in the beginning of your show tonight? (guitar based, maybe african?)
Avatar 10:39pm
Kris Holmes:

well, i'm glad you asked, it's one side of my latest 45 :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
coelacanth∅:

- you mean, YOU'RE latest 45?
Avatar 10:41pm
Kris Holmes:

that track is called "The Jungle". As far as I know, the label art is done & it should be getting pressed soon. I hope the label will have it out in the next month or two.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
coelacanth∅:

(duh, "your", i mean!)
Avatar 10:43pm
Kris Holmes:

i'll definitely play it properly on the show when it's out
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
coelacanth∅:

wow - cool! i quite liked it. (obviously). ...the percussion gave it an african feel - like maybe zimbabwe or thereabouts.

Did Colt 45 ever sponsor release any 45s?
Avatar 10:53pm

@J2tK: Agreed. And again totally new to me

Kris Holmes:

yeah that one is less well known & definitely catches people by surprise, what a voice though!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:00pm
JtotheK:

back when I would play 45s out that emotions was always a fun one to spin, has the sample to a Big Daddy Kane track, usually a few people would recognize it/comment.

Kris Holmes:

yep, it's a classic! love it.

Kris Holmes:

i haven't even checked the score tonight, we lost last night & i was not impressed, sports is hell!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
coelacanth∅:

maybe if you did your intro live, but started out saying just what your recorded intro says, it would gradually evolve in interesting ways?
Avatar 11:13pm
Kris Holmes:

maybe, i could try that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:14pm
Cubs Win:

Dodgers are tied in the top of the 4th.

I handle my intro that way.
