A Playlist Of My Birthday Number Ones
Introduction I was born in 1957 and the number one single at the time was the awful "Diana" by Paul Anka. Either side of that was "All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley and "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets, both brilliant records but we have to start with that awful dirge.

Dimebag Darrell: A Loss Echoing Through Generations
The world of music has seen its fair share of tragic losses, but some deaths hit people harder than others. Dimebag Darrell, born Darrell Lance Abbott, was one of those iconic figures in the world of heavy metal who left an indelible mark on both the genre and its dedicated fanbase. His untimely death in 2004 struck a chord with fans and musicians alike, leaving a void that few celebrity deaths can rival.

Halloween Heavies
Halloween is a time for soaping cars, vandalizing your neighbor's house with toilet paper rolls, playing with Ouija Boards, trespassing into graveyards at night, and who knows? maybe committing mass human sacrifice at some hitherto undisclosed location run by a drug cartel in Buenos Aires and presided over by a huge, skulking, black-clad woman named Juanita. It's all fun and games until someone loses a soul.

The Paternity Case of Janet's Secret Daughter
Besides Michael Jackson being accused of having a love child or allegedly "not" the father of his three children (Prince, Paris, Bigi), there was this scandalous story that involved the youngest Jackson member Janet.

A Devilish Playlist For Halloween And Bonfire Night. Top Story - October 2023. Content Warning.
Introduction This week we have Halloween on Tuesday and Bonfire Night on Sunday. I always think the Devil is given a bad rap. Think about it, in the Bible God is the one who punishes everyone and forces them to do terrible things, including the genocide caused by the flood. He cast out Adam and Eve because they tried to find things out, turned Lot's wife into salt, told Abraham to kill his son, and the list goes on.

Heavy Metal Cheese . Top Story - October 2023.
Yeah, heavy metal is dark, spooky, and undeniably the TOOL OF SATAN to ensnare young people and get them to grow their hair out, wear denim vests, and not bathe as frequently as they once did. Some metal, however, not having got the memo from Central Casting, goes above and beyond the call of duty, taking the infernal into the realm of the comical.

Nine
Introduction The concept of this came to mind and thought it would be a fun thing to do before I disappear to Whitby. It also makes me feel a little like the Count from Sesame Street and then between him and Whitby, you start to think Dracula, or I do.

Ornithology - A Playlist
Introduction I am listening to "Catching A Tiger" by Lissie, and probably my favorite song on this album "Cuckoo" and I will use it to close this playlist. It also made me think of this wonderful poignant poem by my great friend Les, who tells me that she can't write poetry, but check out all this wonderful poetry of hers, and this one in particular that relates to this playlist.

The Emerging Nigerian Talents
In the heart of Lagos, where the bustling streets and vibrant rhythms of Nigeria's largest city converge, a new generation of music talents was quietly rewriting the story of the country's music scene. These were not the chart-toppers or Grammy-winners that the world had come to know, but they were the unsung heroes, the underdogs who were making waves in their own right.

To The Women in Hip hop
Females in the hip-hop culture have always held space in the genre for their skill, their trendsetting authentic style and some of the best music to reach fans and listeners everywhere. No matter what records or history that we make over the years, the way that Black women are presented and represented on the music scene [and the props that some may feel that we should not be getting], has become grounds for debate from everyone but us. That is until now, with the presence of social media and the changes that have taken place in the music industry as a whole. We as Black women are all beautifully different in the way that we show up in the world. I call us a special genre of our own. We as women know who we are defining ourselves for ourselves. We know this and yes, we absolutely can. Starting with the music, HerBrownProductions honors a few of the most legendary and influential female hip-hop artists. Whether it be their legacy, lyricism, style or records that make them similar or unique, the women will be honored for their inspiration from each era of hip-hop.
