Old TV static ambience for sleep, relaxation, and deep focus. 9 hours of channel surfing white noise with soft signal drift, static hiss, and subtle audio fluctuations. No talking, just continuous ambient sound.TV static and ambient drift is this week's episode—the sound of no television signal, i.e., no channel transmitting.I'm old (we've discussed this). I realize that TVs today just have a logo bouncing around the screen (yes, I'm thinking of the Office). In the old days, we would see static or “TV snow”—random electromagnetic noise displayed on screen (in the absence of A Current Affair). And that electromagnetic noise gets passed to the TV speaker—“you deal with it” and that sounded like “KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH.”In the old days, when humans got mad at the TV, they had to stand, walk across a room, and turn a knob to change the channel. And many channels were unassigned, so we had to traverse multiple screens of “KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH” before seeing another human talking at us.Speaking of changing the channel—modern cable news...Cable news is essentially sports radio (they even offer betting now). Drive through any major media market (NY, LA, Philly—I love you, Philly! **** the haters) and listen to any sports radio station: bickering, crazy talk that all purports to lay the groundwork for fixing the home team's problems. One subject that covers the entire day, ad infinitum.There was a point in the '90s–2000s when television leadership realized their anchor—a stiff doofus reading current events—wasn't great for keeping eyeballs. And TV heads wanted audiences sticking around for twangy erectile dysfunction ads. Execs realized that arguing and debate among ***holes with insincere smiles and unearned gravitas equaled prolonged viewership.The problem is that on-air talent often doesn't know what the **** they're talking about, especially when they drift from the teleprompter. I've worked in television (we've discussed this too) and have witnessed anchors interject into on-air time with riffing—saying profoundly incorrect ****.One anchor claimed a local basketball phenom with size 18 feet wore bigger shoes “than even Shaq” (Shaq wears, like, size 22). Another anchor, during a breaking live takeover of the US Airways Flight 1549 (Hudson River landing), claimed that whatever caused the plane's engine to fail must have occurred in Connecticut airspace, because “once you take off from Laguardia you are almost immediately over Connecticut." All you have to do is look at a map to refute that dumb ****... A third anchor notoriously killed whole segments of the 11 o'clock news to make room for ad-libs. How long the show floated unscripted depended on how many beers the anchor had with dinner.Ok, maybe not profoundly incorrect examples... Like these idiot anchors and TV producers, I'm also a communications major, so my criticism is limited to the banal. Yet one needn't give these TV screws the benefit of the doubt on more complex subjects if they can't get Shaq's shoe size right.If you must watch the news, I would suggest you find an independent source you can trust. If I were to suggest guardrails, it would be: follow sources that tell you what's happening rather than pitting opposing sides to argue about it. If the channel you're watching brings up a two-box with a couple of ***holes about to square off on anything but Tom Brady—change the channel. PS: Shaq had one of the last awesome Reebok basketball sneakers—the Shaqnosis… For me, it'd be third place to Dee Brown, second to Shaq, first to Allen Iverson's The Question (honorable mention for John Wall's weird-looking pair).

Guitarist Dee Brown created a jazzy album of R&B instrumentals on which he adopted the persona of a fictious character called “Mister Smooth,” who is confident, focused, and anchored in equanimity. Writing eight new songs, most of them with his GRAMMY® nominated producer and longtime collaborator Valdez Brantley (Usher, Mary J. Blige, Keith Sweat, Lil Wayne), Brown's sixth album will be released by Innervision Records on March 28. The melody-rich title track will be issued as a single the same day. Stepping into the “Mister Smooth” character like a method actor while writing and recording the album wasn't much of a stretch for Brown, who is a devout man of faith. The confidence and maturity that he exudes on the recording and is on full display via his guitar work and the compositions he crafted for the set are bolden and empowering. It's a determined mindset purposed with overcoming challenges and adversity while remaining in control - even when the world feels chaotic.        “Mister Smooth embodies a person who is consistently on top of things and maintains control in any situation. Even when faced with uncertainty, he excels at ‘faking it until he makes it,' elevating the experience for everyone involved. I created an album that captures the essence of what it means to be a Mister Smooth. This concept isn't just a reflection of who I am or aspire to be; it represents a powerful attribute that enhances any situation. The name itself resonates with many, making it relatable and appealing. This is perfectly aligned with the type of music we produce and the kind of person with whom we all aspire to be,” said Brown who released multiple singles from the project while he was working on the collection over the last couple of years. After opening the album with “Mister Smooth,” the Detroit- born and based artist offers a taste of his hometown on “Wes 8Mile,” which he wrote with multi-time Billboard No. 1 chart-topper Blake Aaron who produced the song that was issued as a single. Mike Parlett's saxophone perfectly complements Brown's cool toned electric jazz guitar riffs that invoke jazz guitar legend Wes Montgomery. “Eight Mile is one of the main streets running through Detroit, and I grew up on the west side of Detroit. The name ‘Wes 8Mile' comes from my guitar hero Wes Montgomery's unique style of playing, which often involved using octaves. An octave is a note that is eight diatonic notes away from the first note, and he would play these two notes together. My goal was to create an up-tempo groove that incorporated both octaves and single note playing, along with a half-step modulation. I also wanted to incorporate an ensemble, which is why I invited saxophonist Mike Parlett to play on the track with Carnell Harrell (keyboards), Mel Brown (bass), and Tony Moore (drums),” explains Brown. Another collaboration with Aaron resulted in “The Thing Is…” which adds horn player and arranger David Mann, keyboardist Tateng Katindig, and Aaron's rhythm guitar to the ensemble. It was the second single from the album and hit all the major charts.  “Many times, when a conversation is going and someone wants to make a valid point, they will say, 'The thing is...' That is what this song is all about, making a musical valid point that will grab your attention and immediately be noticed," stated Brown. Brown and Brantley interpret Sister Sledge's rousing anthem “We Are Family,” which includes an imaginative jazz breakdown midway through the disco dancefloor filler.  “My wife suggested that we remake ‘We Are Family' and I imSupport the showMusic Artist interview

I've always admired his rhythm guitar work,” Brown admitted.   Brown sees his Mister Smooth character as someone who would be charming, which inspired the song titled “Charming.”   “This track was developed after I decided we needed to record a slower song. I wanted to incorporate 808 electric drums, Moog synth/bass, and a variety of synthesized sounds reminiscent of the 1990s with a strong emphasis on guitar,” said Brown.   “Finesse” was the first track recorded for the album, yet the song had to go through a process of evolution. Brown explains, “I noticed a problem with the song's chorus. I decided to try an alternative melody, and it seems to work perfectly. So, when you hear the track, if you listen to the lead melody on the big body guitar, that's the new melody and if you listen in the background, there's another melody that is played with my Stratocaster-style guitar that is more like a picking style playing the original melody. They work together perfectly.”   The album's first single was “You Already Know,” which was released as a deep cut during the recording process to keep Brown on radio playlists. His gregarious guitar is slick and proficient as it deftly maneuvers to the fore of a midtempo electric groove.    The vibrant “Charismatic” gets a boost from Merlon Devine's soprano sax. Brown explains, “Initially, Valdez (Brantley) played the flute sound on the track on his keyboard, but I felt we needed a live flute player. Unfortunately, all the flautists we knew were unavailable. I suggested using a soprano saxophone instead and called my good friend, Merlon Devine. We decided to keep the keyboard flute sound after all, but it's Merlon's beautiful soprano sax that really stands out on this track.”   We experience a completely different side of Brown on “4th Dimension,” on which he indulges his rock god guitar alter ego.    “I was kind of a rock ‘n' roller influenced by great bands from the '80s and '90s. I've always loved legendary guitarists like Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page, and I wanted to create a rocky, funky groove. We started exploring a direction that I don't usually take.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ladydiva-live-radio--2579466/support.

And then, once they've finished it, they come on here and reflect on the experience of re-reading it - because everybody reads a book differently, and how you read and interpret a book can change according to who you are at the time.

Mike Carpenter welcomes old friend Lon Tay to help celebrate the release of The 200 Level book! They discuss the writing process, the last 30+ years of Illini basketball, and share memories and experiences along the way. Then, they are joined by an unplanned surprise guest - Dee Brown! - who helps to close things out.

Lanni Brown grew up surrounded by basketball. Her father, Dee Brown, was an NBA legend with the Boston Celtics. Her sister is currently playing in the WNBA and her brother is a D1 Basketball player. While she also found success in the sport, she faced lots of comparisons with her family, struggled to separate her self identity from her performance and ultimately realized that she was “not feeling basketball.” Her transition to the D1 level exacerbated her struggle as she felt different from her teammates because she didn't love her sport and even felt selfish, ungrateful and guilty that she was getting a scholarship despite not being fully invested. Lanni chose to shift her mindset and focus on energy, positivity and enjoying the moments and making an impact in her own way.  Since her competitive career has ended, she is pursuing a Master's at Jacksonville University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with the plan to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology She is combining her personal experiences and education to better support student athletes as an advocate, ambassador and future clinician.  @alanni.noelle

Dee Brown was a 12-year NBA legend and member on the 1990's Boston Celtics all decade team. While so many young kids dream of the NBA, Dee Brown just wanted to use basketball to get a free college education. By creating a process, locking in and having no fear of failing, he found himself as the 19th overall pick by the Boston Celtics in 1990. Having the opportunity to play alongside legends like Larry Bird, he learned how to focus on solutions vs successes, apply mindfulness to sport and the power of information, motivation and inspiration. By mastering these concepts, he was also able to build a level of confidence and trust in himself to make up an iconic dunk on the spot that was memorialized and recreated years later. Through his experiences as a player, coach, parent and now an administrator at Jacksonville U, Dee Brown shares the “B principles” that are necessary for a championship culture in sports, school and life. @deebrown_og
