Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: It’s Super-Mash-Up Day!
So here’s the game. On this edition of K-Chuck Radio, I went around the Internet and found a whole slew of “mash-ups” – instances where someone combined two different songs into one sorta seamless melange.

I have to keep trying. Keep pushing forward. Never give up. Never surrender. By Grapthar’s hammer… Um… yeah. For those of you who find these “Chance” blogs and decide to read down to the bottom to find out if I got the postcard o’ doom, well, I didn’t get the postcard o’ doom this time.…
