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.

Yeah, I hear ya, Franco. I really like working out at the gym - weights and classes. I've missed that, but I really don't see how it could be safe at this point! I'll just continue to do my workouts at home. I know they have some on-line classes. I need to check into those

Another unusual little thread-of comment-and-thought intersection this evening:
I went a while ago during the show to check the opening scene of There Will Be Blood, to see if it was a suitable metaphor for digging for records in the mud. And what's another famous moment and line in that movie? "I drink your milkshake!"
