CKurtis has been playing in cover bands a looooong time. Playing songs he likes, songs he hates, and some he doesn't even know. He realized he could do that from his studio, with no smoke, free drinks, and no line for the bathroom.

If your song is rock or pop from before Y2K (especially 80's), chances are pretty good CK will know it. Just post a **!songrequest** or **!sr** using the title, artist or a youtube link (versions with lyrics help). Chances are good he'll try to violate any song you throw at him, mushy songs often performed very inappropriately.

Donations are never expected, but always appreciated. **Click the Pika** to distribute the wealth and keep CKurtis going! Donators will get special treatment when it comes to requests, and CK will even learn a song for you for the next broadcast if you are kind. Special alerts for the preset donation amounts.
