Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from April 17, 2018 Favoriting

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.

Just spent the last few hours organizing my R&B and popcorn 45s by label as well as by style. My life is going exactly the way I'd planned!

Anyway, thought of you as I asked myself out loud if Al Pinckney's "Coasting" was a popcorn/R&B 45 or a soul 45. Still haven't landed on where it goes. Same for dozens of other discs

Yeah, so there was a knife, a "shove those music instruments (accordions & electric guitars) up your a**" & a "shut the f*** up". Gotta love the respect for authority in inner city welfare assistance schools

Austin: boomtown for more than thirty years.

Back to child-HOODS: Older kid, same attitude, same target. On a backpack trip, sharing by chance a shelter area with troubled and school-exile teens and their very young adult mentors, I was the one in our group requesting that a teen stop hacking at trees in the immediate area. Later overheard him in his tent speaking of me to his mentor, “I should have shoved that machete up his ass.” Interesting arrangement, too — male sharing small tent with “adult” female just about 4 or 5 years older than him.

You're welcome! Truthfully I enjoy familiar music waaaay more when someone else plays it

Made a "Sound of Music" reference to my wife, as I almost hit a female deer on my way home from work. She's never seen it before. It must not be big in Mexico.

A lifetime in this American culture has given me unavoidable and inevitable familiarity with the music, outline, many details and images and widely arrayed references... but I have never seen the whole film.
Avatar 11:22pm
northguineahills:

I had to explain the whole movie so she would get the reference (thankfully, she understood Suisse's neutrality as part of the plot). I'm making her watch it this weekend.

(I first saw the film when I was four, I've probably seen it a dozen times, but not once since I was 17.

@LD: Usually I'd defer to Amanda Nazzario, but anything past, present, or future that can and will be references, has already happened in the Simpsons.

Not sure why the folks didn’t haul the brood for a viewing, as they did for other flicks of the period — Mary Poppins, Born Free, 101 Dalmatians, The Russians Are Coming....
