Meet You in Heaven One Day
With so many celebrities leaving us recently I thought it would be nice to look at songs that sing about Heaven. As we listen we can remember our loved ones also who wait for us on the other site.

The El Pea Situation
Introduction About a month ago, I started becoming obsessed with the vinyl album "El Pea", and I am not sure why. I had also aquired a copy of "Bumpers", which is a great album, and "Nice Enough To Eat" was one of the first albums that I bought, and it introduced me to a lot of artists who are absolute favourites of mine.

Farewell to Ozzy the Prince of Darkness
I was never too much into heavy metal but at times I would give a listen and Ozzy was one you could never close your ears too. There was just too much to like. In celebration of his life coming into this world as John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne on December 3, 1948 and leaving this world on July 22, 2025. He was an English singer, songwriter, and media personality. In the 1970s Ozzy was the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath and later set out solo with his own albums.

Louder Than Legends: Why Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Were More Influential Than The Beatles
When it comes to musical influence, The Beatles are often worshipped as untouchable gods—the Mount Olympus of rock and pop. Their melodies, mop-tops, and psychedelic studio wizardry are burned into music history. But let’s be real: for countless working musicians, especially those who actually plug in an amp and bleed calluses onto their fretboards, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath rewired the entire musical universe in ways The Beatles never could.

Songs that get stuck in your head (earworms)
It's 3 AM, and you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep when suddenly, without warning, your mind begins to play the opening bars of "Don't Stop Believin'" for what feels like the thousandth time today. You didn't choose this musical moment—it simply appeared, uninvited, like an overly enthusiastic house guest who refuses to leave. Welcome to the fascinating, sometimes maddening world of earworms.

Ozzy's Parole
I had a dream a few days ago about Ozzy Osbourne. I was never a huge fan, although I've listened to him—and most especially Black Sabbath—off and on for years and years.

Rikki La Rouge cover album of Willy Chirino songs “en Avenida de Willy Chirino”
this is Rikki La Rouge version of ‘s classic song Canta. It was released on Willy‘s 1993 album or 92 album South Beach. My version of is a flamenco one. I think it came out really well. My vocals were awesome, me playing the guitar on this song by the way and that’s me clapping in the background too. I hope that you enjoy what you’re here. This song was included on a cover album of Willy Chirino songs that I did called en Avenida de Willy Chirino or on Willy Chirino avenue. Recording this cover album of Willie Torino songs was a labor of love and a privilege to do so. The message of is just always stay positive and anything negative that comes your way. Just keep going it will always pass and just keep singing a happy tune.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.
