The best mix, and easily the most diverse mix, of music you will hear ANYWHERE!!!
The Kitchen Sink is at it again; rocking the boat of March in celebration of another International Women's Day and Month this time with 50+ glorious minutes of music about the many, many women that make up the spectrum...from the men that love them. A testosterone-fueled collection of the good, the bad, and ugly that for better or for worse, will have your toes a tapping right along.
With tunes by Joe Jackson, The Guess Who, Bell Biv Devoe, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones, Styx, The Blasters, Cheap Trick, The Bee Gees, and Foreigner, the fun resides inside.
Here, my dear...
The Kitchen Sink plays Rocky for Rocky, Toni "Rockalishous" Isbell, that is (details inside).

Where it's all about the music...
My live and in-studio conversation with UMG recording star Genevieve Bellemare.
No lie, this video is chock full of pops and scratches. I have just made a 2nd attempt at cleaning up and while this is a ton better...impurities remain. So, again, please try not to let them bother you too much because this really was a ton of fun to do.
Ms. Geneviève Bellemare and guitarist Connor O'Shea visit The Kitchen Sink Podcast & Radio Show to talk about her album, MelancholyFever, their ties to the Pacific NW (Oregon State Beavers in the house), food (Voodoo Doughnut, Le Bistro Montage) and a whole lot more.

Oh, and the music's pretty good, too.
The Kitchen Sink PLAYS SONGS FOR LOVERS and closes out the month of February in smashing style with a heartfelt, pop-filled episode rife with tales of seduction, broken hearts, and revenge.
From The Pistol Annies and Carly Simon, to NIN and Liz Phair, it's 50 minutes of the kind of bittersweet romance and raw sensuality you likely know all too well.

The Bottled Spirits drop by The Kitchen Sink for some LIVE pickin' and grinnin'. Music from their EP, Blue Line Transit Blues, and soon to be released full-length debut.

Deception only goes so far; at some point you have to come clean.
What was initially promoted as a tool to attract listeners for the (at the time) approaching tax deadline, can now be revealed for the truth.
Nope, this one has nothing to do with THE IRS, but has everything to do with IRS (International Record Syndicate) Records, the home to such 80s luminaries as: The Go-Go's, Wall Of Voodoo, Fine Young Cannibals, REM, Let's Active, and Oingo Boingo.
Well, they're all here (plus a whole lot more) for your aurul pleasure.
So if you've got a hankering for some old-school New Wave (is that redundant?), this is the episode for you.
...more like the KATHRYN-DEAN-APALOOZA!!
Welcome to this, the 4th, and, sadly, final episode in The Kitchen Sink's International Women's Month-long celebration.

Also featuring 'new music' from ADRON, Zella Day, Kathryn Dean & ZZ Ward; women whose music you may not know today, but whose music you will definitely be singing along to sooner, rather than later. [Visit the TKS group page on Facebook at Kitchen Sink Podcast & Radio Show for artist links.]
Playing the best mix, the most diverse mix, of women you will hear ANYWHERE!
Happy International Women's Month, ladies, from The Kitchen Sink!
From the final over-produced notes of disco, to the first chords of grunge, when you actually stop and take an objective look back, THE REAGAN YEARS (1981-1989), really weren't so bad...musically.
And proof positive resides inside this last TKS/KLBC episode of 2014, with enough Reagan-era "cowpunk", rap, pop, rock, r&b/dance, punk, and alternative music to choke a horse.
So if you're, like, looking for an excuse to break out your leg-warmers and Members Only jackets, well then, OH MY GOD, click that download link or press play and be ready to step back in time.
The Call, Grace Jones, Let's Active, The Waterboys, U2, and The Cocteau Twins to name but a few that'll be scratching your 80's itch.

So come and (over) indulge yourself on these seriously tasty local tunes until the tryptophan kicks in.
With the start of the holiday season right around the corner, a case of the blues is to be expected. But this 65+ minute case of "the blues" is, typically, chock full of the unexpected; no usual suspects here.
Featuring bluesy offerings ranging from the likes of The 5678s and Merle Haggard to The Squirrel Nut Zippers and BOC; this is definitely music for those who like it...blue.

A loud, riff-laden, guitar filled episode celebrating the legacy of one of the true guitar masters, Malcolm Young of AC/DC fame.
As has been recently reported, Young, who has been suffering from Dementia, has had to quit the legendary band and cancel all public appearances. If we have indeed heard the last of Mr. Young, then let us remember this legends legacy with, in this case, a 65+ minute tribute to one of the best and LOUDEST!
Featuring Black Sabbath, The Pandoras, The Detroit Cobras, Devo, Mudhoney, Metallica and more...this is definitely the episode for those whom eleven just isn't loud enough.
"...it's harder than it looks."

A note, originally this podcast came with voiceover, but I was in a mood to experiment and managed to remove myself completely from this one. Try not to enjoy too much, okay?
Episode #18, aka The .44 Magnum Is A Monster, is a bit of a monster of an episode itself. This anniversary episode is, just have a look at the flyer, one for the crazies; the Travis Bickles, the Debbie Jellinskys in us all. Both hilarious and frightening, if the clips don't get you, songs by Jane's Addiction, Paul Young, SMP, The Kinks, Metallica, Hole, and Bernard Herrmann will.
Episode #17. Simply put, this one is all about the rock, all about the roll. The Romantics, Aerosmith, Bill Conti, Herbie Hancock, Twisted Sister, AC/DC, and April Wine are but a few that'll have you eager to step into a pair of quads.

As Labor Day approaches and the American worker finds herself/himself seemingly under constant seige, could there be a better time to comment on worker struggles with music?
From the Tea Party (THE CLASH & THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT) to corporate America (SPINAL TAP & FLYGUY) to the Progressive Left (RACHEL MADDOW & KEITH OLBERMANN), all points of view have influence in this 100 minute episode, but in the end it's all about the encouraging, promoting and celebrating of all those hard working women and men out there.
