Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from December 19, 2017 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.

Got you on while JD and I prepare and eat our weird dinner of bagels, lox and cream cheese

what is lox?

Salmon!

I can no longer keep the eyelids up. I'm conceding to the darkness. Keep the great tunes coming, Kris.

BLC at an unpermitted late hour. Step away from the bagel.

There's an Israeli place here, but no Jewish delis. The bagel I had good ingredients (lox, cream cheese, capers, onions, tomatoes), but the breading around it was definitely not a bagel!
Avatar 10:33pm
northguineahills:

And the bagel places here close at 3pm, so I can't have bagels for dinner (which I used to at least every other week in Brooklyn).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Little Danny:

Kris: ask Misa if there's anywhere to get a good bagel in San Antonio. You should have some bagel & lox in your life
Avatar 10:35pm
northguineahills:

Wait, they have lox in Kiwiland (might be harder to find in west TX.

it's been a while, but sometimes i treat myself to crumpets.

@ngh: we had the bagels and lox shipped in from San Francisco

man, i fell like i haven't had a bagel in ages & i've never been a huge salmon fan
Avatar 10:39pm
Kris Holmes:

i don't think we say Lox in NZ?
Avatar 10:40pm
northguineahills:

I'm going to have the wife send me a proper bagel from Brooklyn. I've found almost every other proper culinary item here except a friggin' bagel! (well, that and Burmese food).

I don't normally love salmon that much either but lox is a special case. Smoky, mild (non-fishy), rich, divine
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:44pm
Little Danny:

I've never had a crumpet. Had to google image search it

Like a bubbly, more solid english muffin, but not really anything like an english muffin lol
Avatar 10:45pm

Well, I'll be damned, salmon only naturally occur in the Southern Hemisphere in Argentina and the Falklands.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:46pm
Little Danny:

@kris: I'm sold!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
Little Danny:

Huh. So that may be why Kris hasn't been fully convinced yet by salmon
Avatar 10:48pm
northguineahills:

LD, have you had pastrami salmon before? tastes close to bacon (totally kosher).

I would love to do a food truck.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:50pm
Little Danny:

@ngh: no! If I weren't so disgustingly full right now that would have me salivating!

thanks. it's weird -every now and then it cuts out abruptly then fades back up in about 20 seconds.
("fades up"...that doesn't make sense! what's the opposite of "fade"?)

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm

haha ...well if they butchered this down to fit on a 45, it's clear their intention was radio play.
Avatar 11:47pm

Ha, yep, it's an original white label promo copy for radio. Hence the bleeps.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51pm

ah the good ol days. I remember when "a boy named sue" was an am radio hit, with the "i'm the son of a *BEEEEP* who named you sue"
...that wouldn't faze anyone now.

coelacanth∅:

even as a child I thought it was stupid that people got offended over the word "bitch" ...although, the way it's used now, by gangsta rappers and their wannabes, I do find pretty fucking offensive.

(oops did I say "fucking"?)
