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 don’t live by the French Quarter but once the parades start uptown I live two blocks from the route.

Kris Holmes:

I need to go one year, my dislike of crowds keeps me away
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s convenient Franco but sucks for my neighbors with cars. I’m on my bike and it’s sort of annoying but you plan around it.

I’m marching in Krewe du Mishegas a sub-krewe of Krewe du Vieux and I’m in Krewe du Kanaval a newer one that focuses on the connection between New Orleans & Haiti.

Hello Danny. I hope you enjoyed that snippet from Wikipedia.

The cold blew through here a coupla hours ago, "snow" predicted
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:18pm
Little Danny:

I did, Matt
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It cracked me up when I read it and immediately thought of you
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
Little Danny:

I'm glad to be thought of at all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
Little Danny:

I have really warmed to this very Southern kind of minor-key bluesy soul in the last year or so. Lots of stuff on Hi Records in the same groove, like Quiet Elegance's "I'm Afraid of Losing You"
Avatar 10:22pm
Kris Holmes:

The songwriting credits on the flip of the PC had me confused but then I realised it's a Jackie Moore cover & she was Florida
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23pm
Matt from New Orleans:

You do love your exotica or I at least hope you do with its frequency of appearance
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Lots of good stuff so far
Avatar 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

I am a sucker for any soul of the southern variety

I liked BRP. Shame they haven’t recorded anything in over ten years.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:48pm
Little Danny:

Everything about that festival smells like shit, especially C3 and Charles Attal. Hopefully we'll have moved from this town long before it happens.
