One of my favorite bands from the 1980’s was the Human League.  And believe me, if I’m in my car listening to Sirius/XM’s “First Wave” channel, and I hear that opening synth riff to a certain 1980’s #1 hit, I will roll down the windows, crank up the sound, and start singing at the top…

Plug it in.  Crank it up.  It’s time for a K-Chuck Radio show with a lot of nasty guitar work.  Hear that guitar snarling and growling and everything.  Garage band music, psychedelic stuff, you name it, here it is.  And we start with a local band… THE GRAY THINGS Charity You might know this band…

Today on K-Chuck Radio, I want to bring you some beautiful vocal harmonies, all from “girl groups” of the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s.  These were the artists who combined sweetness and beauty with awesome vocals and tender lyrics.  And their music is still treasured today. In fact, what I’ve got on the playlist includes some…

For those of you who are visiting my blog for the first time, welcome. Every so often I put together a musical blog playlist of ten songs with a theme or an underlying connection. I call it “K-Chuck Radio,” and it’s a great little playlist to listen to while you’re at work, or even if…

As I’m waking up this morning, and trying to figure out why my wristwatch says 7:00 a.m. and the clock on my Time Warner Cable converter says 8:00 a.m… Oh yeah… Daylight Saving Time kicked in. Well, I’m not going to do a K-Chuck Radio blog post about ten songs that count the time, I…

I do these blog posts from time to time. They’re heartbreaking ballads and break-up songs, and I call them my “Armor-Plated Heart” songs. Songs that will bring your emotions to tears, and that none but those with armor-plated hearts will avoid crying all night.  If you’ve had a rough Valentine’s Day weekend, these songs may…

What you’re about to hear is something really intriguing.  What if the one version of a song that you’re used to hearing was actually a song that was designed only for your home town or your home city? Yep.  It happened, at least more than once.  And I have some examples on today’s K-Chuck Radio…

Inspiration for my blog posts can come from several different sources.  Recently, my TU blog bro Ken Screven posted a picture of the Supremes and remarked that this was the anniversary of one of that lineup’s last major hits, “Someday We’ll Be Together.” Yes, it was – at least for the lineup that included Diana…

I crafted a K-Chuck Radio playlist four years ago based on an iPod playlist of mine.  The playlist, called ‘The Armor-Plated Heart,” features a list of emotional, powerful, hold-onto-your-heart-because-it’s-ripping-to-pieces tracks. So it’s been four years since that blog post.  But I’ve added more tracks to that little grouping.  Songs that will help soothe the pain…
