As I mentioned late in this episode, I determined that I couldn’t turn back on the play-list for this week. It turned out to be a roller coaster of an episode with music spanning all era’s and genre’s. As you will see at the bottom of the post, their were a few “F” bombs that were in the show, so if you are easily offended by a rock artist using that language, then don’t listen. I have long been a supporter of freedom of speech in the arts and have always felt that censorship is wrong.

So, where was I? Oh yeah, if you like Classic Rock, some 80′s rap and also some music that you may have never heard before because it wasn’t played on the radio during its time, then this is the show to listen to. We have been playing more and more music that you don’t hear every day and that has been a main comment on why you like Sound Check.

Remember, if you want to request…Here I am on Twitter, Facebook, and the FB Fan Page. Fan up, support the show and tell a friend.

Please keep an eye on the schedule for the launch of the live show where your request and other assorted music will be played. Also, we’ll have past episodes playing on a schedule if you want to stream shows back to back. Finally, I mentioned that Sound Check is free on ITunes, so click on the Icon and subscribe to the show.

Thanks again for listening and be well,

(P.S-I wanted to thank Wes Oxford and Dizzy for their comments on Episode 101 and the “Dingo and the Baby” audio.)

I love dessert, period. When I was picking the set list for this show, I was thinking that a great cup of coffee and some  cheesecake would complete this show. I don’t know why, it just all seemed to fit together. If you love coffee, you will know what I mean when that jolt of caffeine hits your stomach and it’s followed by a great tasting slice. All in all…it sounds and I relate all those feelings to what is in Episode 101.

I have been trying to mix up the show and give you what you want. I have been asked as well as told that the new music that is on the show is great and has opened up some eyes to new musical tastes. I like hearing that from the people that listen to the show, so keep the comments coming.  Also, I was thinking “coffee house” style this week with a blend (here I go again with the coffee references) of other tracks that most know.

Also in this Episode, there are some announcements on what’s in the works, what direction the show is going and who will be making a guest appearance on the show in the very near future.

Don’t forget, the show schedule is in the right side bar, and we are also listed at Facebook where you can become a fan of the show. The link to get to the fan page is also in the right side bar.

As I mention during the show, I would like to thank Samantha for joining me for the kick ass Snow Patrol/U2 concert in Foxboro, MA. It was a great time had by all 78,ooo people…I think…

Look for a “Minisode” next week as we prepare for a live broadcast sometime in early Oct.

Enjoy Episode 101 and as always,

Be well,

After a crazy Summer in New England where the weather haunted us from the monsoons of June to the melting heat and humidity of July to the just plain ole HOT weather of August…we see the end of summer. In the 1st week of September we have been graced with what looks like an early entrance to Fall like weather where it is in the 60′s now. Enough weather talk because this was a milestone show for Sound Check and also because we just passed the 2 year mark in early August. I NEVER thought that we would make it this far. Period.

I was introduced to this by a friend that said that he was podcasting and that I should give it a try. Well here we are 2+ years later and 100 Episodes deep, a format change and more changes on the way.

Some of the changes that are coming are that I am going to start the Check List Series where listeners of the show are able to have their own Episode with a mix of their favorite tracks. Also, in October, I will be doing 2 live shows a month and also featuring some of the previous shows on the stream. In addition to all the great stuff that is going on, I am bringing back Random Access Radio to the web and it will be part of Sound Check. If you have some programming that you would like to have included on the stream, please let me know at ck@check12check12.com So, stay tuned for all the upcoming events here and on the web that have to do with Sound Check.

I also mentioned in the show that the new schedule will be out this week and I am going to change that a little as well. Instead of doing 80′s, 90′s and Classic Rock shows, I was thinking that we could take request from Twitter and Facebook for acoustic sets, and maybe bootlegs, and covers from different artists. I think that would spice up the show a little. Let me know what you think…

I also thanked all the folks along the way for their support and also my supporters at Twitter. I wanted to say here that I appreciate all the input from Facebook as well and the support that the Sound Check with CK Page is getting at FB. Thank you.

Finally, I made mention during the show that an Indie group from France/England called Televox has supported Sound Check over the past year. The band has done great things for the show and I/we are looking forward to the release of the new EP from Televox. Show your support for the band by checking out Televox on the web at http://www.televoxmusic.com

Thank you again for your support of the show and I hope you enjoy the set list for Episode 100.

Be well,
