It’s been one of those weeks that I didn’t wish for… On Saturday I started to feel as though I was getting a cold and it showed up for sure on Sunday. I am at about 85% now and feeling much better. I wish I didn’t have to cancel this weeks show, but the voice wasn’t good. We will be back next week with a show, so don’t be worried…It’s just a week off to rest up and feel better.

I was thinking yesterday and I wanted to announce a new show that we are going to do if we can get enough people involved in it. Here are the details…

The show will be all about you guys presenting the music in the show. You will record your intro of the song for the show, and I will play your intro clip and the song that you requested. I think that if we get 10-12 people to do this we could put together a kick ass (and funny show).

Here is what you have to be able to do:

1) Request a song…(That shouldn’t be hard…)

2) Record your intro on a free program called Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) <—-Here is the address to download this free program.

How to record. Open Audacity, select File, Save project As, and name it. Hit the red dot (record) and start recording with your mic, the intro on Sound Check what your song is and maybe why you like it.

When done recording, Save your project again, and save it in WAV. After you have saved your audio file in WAV, email it to ck@check12check12.com and I will get it in the show.

Let’s keep this to 80’s and 90’s music as well. If you have questions about this task, email me at the address above.

So, we’ll be back next week with some kick ass music (which I have already lined up during this thing called the “common cold” (and it is uncommon for me…)

So, stay tuned and thanks as always for your support for the show.

Good/special news is always great to share with the world on special days like today for a few reasons. Today is my nephew “V’s” 11th Birthday. It is also the day that he was presented with the opportunity to produce his own Episode here on Sound Check. Now, I know you are probably thinking that you are going to get Disney tunes in his Episode…think again. This is a young man that is a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Disturbed, Slipknot, Van Halen and more.

“V” will be producing Episode 99 on August 12th here on Sound Check. Let’s show some support for a future host in his first ever show, here at Sound Check. I wish I could convey the excitement that V has to do this show for you and for himself. Also, please wish this young man a Happy Birthday!

See you next week for “Open Season” for Episode 98 and on the 12th with “V” doing his thing on Sound Check.

Be well,

Episode 82 will be pushed back to Thursday March 12, 2009 due to a cold that is creeping up. I am sure that this voice couldn’t do 2+ hours of straight talk…

I will fill the void with other posts between now and the 12th and also look for Episode 81 to land here shortly. 

In keeping with the media thing, check out my Photoblog, The Camera Eye where I have been posting a lot of my pictures. 

Talk soon (I hope),

We are back after a long, but needed 3 weeks off for the Holiday season. I hope that everyone that participates in the show is well rested and ready to go in 2009. A lot has changed over the past 18 months since we started this show and we are running strong and kicking like a raging bull headed into the new year.

I am still amazed at the traffic from around the world and I would encourage you all to tell a friend about the show! The best way to experience all that is Sound Check is by coming over to the LIVE show on Thursday nights. We are LIVE tonight at a special time ( 7 PM ) so that all you college football fans can watch the BCS game at 8 EST where Oklahoma and Florida will duke it out for the national title. Otherwise, we are on at 9:35 EST at www.talkshoe.com/tc/45577.

I have the comments ON here, so start leaving some so we can read them on the air. If you want to leave a message on the studio line, call 339-200-8050 for comments on the show topics and also general comments.

I look forward to seeing you on the show and thank you again for the continuing support for Sound Check.

Here is a little something that you may hear tonight on the show.

This past week we experienced the greatness of Thanksgiving and of course “Black Friday.” We had the opportunity to gather our family and friends together and eat till we were so full that we needed to loosen the pants button and take a nap.

I had a great holiday where a good percentage of the family gathered and I was able to take many pictures of the family and also at my 2nd stop of the day at what I call “my extended family.” I stayed overnight on Thanksgiving and was looking forward to heading from Worcester to Cambridge, MA for the release of the “Black Friday, Air Force-1 by Nike. This was to be a release like no other because no one that was in line to buy it knew what it looked like. That held true for us as well. We were surprised that it was so nice in person.

The designer of the shoe, DJ Clark Kent was at Concepts in Boston to sign the boxes of the shoe that he designed. It was a sell out as expected. Also on hand was BREK ONE on the tables spinning the latest and greatest mixes for the patrons of the Black Friday Air Force 1’s. It was an all around success.

Here are some of the pictures of the event at Concepts.

This was a great day that was had by all.

Please keep a look out for Episode 70 that was recorded live on Black Friday night (Friday) for all the talk that WAS Black Friday.

See you on the air soon at www.talkshoe.com/tc/45577

I have mentioned over the past several months that I was going to, and did endorse Senator Obama. We have seen many sides to the 2 main candidates in this years race and I know that a major percentage didn’t like either choice. I was glad to see a side that I liked this year that didn’t involve a woman (unqualified IMO) VP and a chance at calling her President Palin. That wasn’t something that I was standing for, so I chose the other. Change was issued and I hope that change prevails. We need 4 fresh years, and not 4 of the same. 

I hope tomorrow, I can say President Obama and feel great about it.

that we produced our own sneaker with the help of NIKE….

What do you think?

July 11th, 2008 by CK

That is the question…

On this Friday the 11th of July we are all expecting the numbers to reflect that the newest version of the Iphone to be staggering. A complete sellout on day one. If you are looking for a full review and thought process on the Iphone be sure to listen to our latest show on Gathering Geeks.

I had the opportunity to talk to an AT&T store manager that told me that in a large city here in Massachusetts, he was only getting 25 iphones. He said that most of the product would hit the Apple stores, and I can see that. But, just 25 -50 units per store for a launch day? I find that number hard to believe when Apple is reflecting a huge number of activations. I think that the hype is there, but the drive to switch isn’t.

If you have a phone that is under contract with AT&T, would you buy this phone and extend your contract to be one of the hipster geeks with this new device? I would love to see those numbers.

I won’t be running out today to get one as an AT&T customer. I have a Blackberry and I am happy that I can let my thumbs do the typing. I will stick with my Ipod and Itunes for my music and mixes, but all the great marketing that Apple does led by Steve Jobs isn’t going to get me to take the bait today.

Good luck to all that get one and enjoy it in good health.

I hope that everyone had a chance to listen to Ep 52, because it was a good one. Episode 53 should be through post production by Monday night. What can I say…it’s my birthday weekend. This was another good show with some new callers and listeners.

I have set up a new email address that I plug in the show for people to email the show for topics that they want discussed, suggestions and if they would like to come on the show and guest co-host, those are welcome as well.

Here is the address if you would like to send us something… info@check12check12.com

If you want to comment on the show, please do it on the blog for all to see.

Thank you and have a great rest of the weekend.
