It’s 3:00 a.m. Monday morning, and the thoughts of Hurricane Sandy and the Frankenstorms are still going through my half-sleepy mind. Wow, wouldn’t that be a great name for a hardcore punk band – Hurricane Sandy and the Frankenstorms? But I digress… So I thought about all the rain-related and storm-related and hurricane-related songs out…

The 22° Halo
It’s another Saturday night, and I’m just trying to get everything done in my life. I’m one week away from the National Basketball League of Canada starting another season, and eight teams are counting on me to provide statistics and other important information. I also have to get other projects done, and I just drove…
Read More“The French Connection” on the Royale With Cheese Movie Club
The “Royale With Cheese Movie Club” – where I finally get around to watching movies that everyone else in the world has seen – has grown to the point where I’m actually getting recommendations of films that I should add to the Club. In fact, two of my loyal blog readers – Bennett Campbell and…
Read More♪♫♪ “NO ADDED HOR-MONES!!!” ♪♫♪
I can understand if you’ve never heard of Normie Rowe. Unless you grew up in Australia in the 1960’s, Normie Rowe means nothing to you. However, a generation of Aussies considered Normie Rowe to be their 1960’s-era “King of Pop.” He took several ballads and Broadway songs, added big orchestration and a Merseybeat to them,…

Where’s Justin Resnick when I need him?
A few weeks ago, my Street Academy trivia teammate Jeremy McNamara griped on Facebook about the difficulty in finding a suitable bed mattress. I commented that someone should call Justin Resnick. And then I realized. It’s been a while since ANYONE has heard from Justin Resnick. At one point in time, Justin Resnick’s radio commercials…
Read MoreWeek 8 of the $2,000 2012-13 Elbo Room Trivia Tournament
I was not able to attend the most recent round in the Elbo Room trivia game, due to another commitment. However, host General James was kind enough to forward the scores from the game, so that I can include them here. Team Fist won for the first time in this tournament cycle, earning five playoff…
Read MoreDon Rittner got rooked
Don Rittner and I go back nearly 20 years. When I first acquired a computer with Internet access – my old Packard Bell 386 laptop from Sears – the first Internet portal I ever accessed was wnyt.com, which provided e-mail access and an early bulletin board system. Yep, you could access the ‘net for free…
Read More“Motivations, Vol. 2” – my new art book!
Back in October 2010, I took an assortment of my best photographs, added inspirational quotes and Scripture verse – and produced a coffee table art book called Motivations, Vol. 1. It had a decent print run, and you can still order a copy or three for a holiday gift. But as you might have noticed,…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: 80’s dance club remix weapons
What’s the formula for today’s dance music? An electronic beat, an Auto-Tuned singer, and incessant promotion on radio and on MTV and the like. That was now. This is then. See, I came from a time when the best tracks were stored on big 12-inch records; they usually came with an extended mix from the…
Read MoreNext year at Rhinebeck…
So my final “competition season” event – the photo contest at the Dutchess County Sheep and Wool Festival – turned out to be a bust. I entered five pictures, including Poestenkill Cascade and Butterfly and Citrus, and none of them picked up silk. Or wool. Other than that, I did have a good time at…
