Ah, love. It’s out there. Somewhere. I know it’s driven past me a couple of times. Probably knocked me over and kept on driving. That would explain those valentine-shaped tire treads on my back. Ha. Be that as it may, I thought that today on K-Chuck Radio, I would surf through my record collection and…

And I don’t mean “stupid” as in “that’s stupid fresh def, yo.” I mean “stupid” as in “What in the name of Run-D.M.C. were these artists THINKING??????” Trust me.  I have NO problems whatsoever with rap music.  I grew up with it in my high school, I learned to appreciate and enjoy Grandmaster Flash and…

These were monster hits. They topped the charts. They were played until the grooves wore out. Truly, they were monster hits. They just weren’t national hits, in the same sense that Katy Perry could release a song on Tuesday and it would be on every radio station playlist by Tuesday afternoon. We’re talking about the…

Yes, I know you’re going to Saratoga Race Course at some point in time this year.  You’re going to bet on this horse and on that horse and lose money on this horse and lose even MORE money on that horse. But let’s have some fun here.  This is K-Chuck Radio, not “how to bet…

It’s called “deep groove funk,” and it’s the kind of music one might associate with late night intimacy.  Put these tunes on your turntable, and watch what happens.  It’s also great motivational workout music, if that’s your bag.  So on today’s edition of K-Chuck Radio, it’s time to get down and get funky to these…

My friend Laura sent me a link to a story about what seems to be a simmering feud between Madonna and Lady Gaga over the similarities between Madonna’s hit “Respect Yourself” and Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way.”  Trust me.  Both those songs sound similar enough to the point where someone could interpret either a…

Here’s the problem. I have several K-Chuck Radio blog posts that are in various stages of completion. You know, find ten YouTube music clips and combine them all into one blog post. Sometimes these posts take a while to write – you have to find YouTube clips that are entertaining and are part of the…

Yesterday, for some unknown reason, I had Paul Simon’s lyrics to “The Sounds of Silence” running through my head. Don’t know why. I’ve always appreciated that song, both the acoustic version – and the “electrified” version that we hear on Top 40 radio. And I kept thinking about how eloquent and versatile the Paul Simon…

My feelings about CRUSH FM radio are thus.  I will listen to CRUSH FM until they play Blackstreet’s “No Diggity.”  That means I’m listening to CRUSH FM for about ten minutes a day. And for a station that prides itself on playing the “hits of the 90’s,” I’m surprised that CRUSH FM hasn’t opened their…

I’ve mentioned in the past that Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody was the first 45 I ever purchased with my own money – the first record that didn’t have the words “Disney” or “Cricket” on the label.  I bought the 45 at Blue Note Record Shop in Albany; and 35 years later, that 45 is still in…
