Red Bull Big Tune Round Up And More

Well not much more. Basically this past weekend my man Mr. Cree got married so my boy Scavone and his wife Astra came to visit, and well, I just haven't found time to blog in a good week. Which isn't doing you, me, or anybody else any good. So I'ma get to it.

Last week IT WENT DOWN! The Red Bull Big Tune Producers Battle returned to Houston and it was like last year only even better. The night was just straight up magical man. Everyone brought their A Game and in the end, Houston's Sound Mob reigned supreme. I'm still pulling hard for Picnictyme, cuz the boy on another planet and shit, but man, Sound Mob is REAL!


Anyway, the night before the battle, everyone got together at the Cotton Exchange, my man KB's place for drinks and appetizers and to take photos and get the run down of how the event was about to go down.


Picnictyme and S-1 came down to represent for Dallas and pretty much killed it. I think sound issues affected S-1's early showing. And well, I think Picnic was affected by not being on the home (Houston) team. He had the crowd FLIPPING OUT, but in the end, only maybe 20 people in the crowd of 900 really knew who he was. So odds were stacked against him.
But whatever, not for nothing, every producer on that stage is making moves. I'm proud of my people in my state!


The ARE won last year. You probably know him best from his work with the K-Otix. Seen here with Cozmos, who also did beats for K-Otix, and was also maybe a little affected by early sound issues. Dude is a beast on them beats.


The Are with organizers J. Moore and Jake One. Super dudes who I have to give big thanks to for creating this event AND bringing it to Houston two years in a row.


T-Gray held it down on the tables during the pre-event.


The ladies of Red Bull. MY PEOPLE!




T-Gray was DJing outside the event on the huge Red Bull TANK of sorts, seen here greating Baby Jae of the Krackernuttz.

Anyway it was a magnanimous event. Youtube links after these:

WORD TO CHRIS AND ANNABELL EDWARDS! Finally tied the know. I have known Chris, aka Crop Diggy aka Mr. Cree since Andre Walker introduced us in 1991. He was in a group called Sociopath Left, and early Austin institution. Wild, underground, avant garde, weird, boom bap hip hop from early 90's Texas! We ended up living together in Brooklyn for most of 1994, where we met Scavone...



Seen between us in this pic right here. Was nice to all reunite.


Anyway, it's official; now. Check out some of the videos from the BIG TUNE big night, and if anyone has video of Willie D's set I NEEEEEEEEED IT!

Process of selecting a Software Bridegroom :: Interesting Read

I got the below article in the form of an e-mail forward from one of my colleague. It just intrigued me as to how true can such a subtle mail really be. So read on and let me know your views too.

This is a conversation about the process of selecting a software bridegroom....

Vidhya: hey! what is the matter you have called up all of a sudden?

Nithya: do u remember that my parents gave my horoscope, to search for a suitable match, to many people? So many horoscopes of the groom has come.. in that 4-5 seems to match.. I don’t know which one to select, I am confused because of it.

Vidhya: what is the confusion about?

Nithya: horoscopes of many software engineers have come. It seems now a days, the software guys are wanting to marry girls in the other field. That’s I why I don’t know whom I must select among this. You are a software engineer so please give me some suggestion .

Vidhya: not a problem at all. So tell me the position that each one holds.

Nithya: first is a manager.

Vidhya: manager?? Then he will show cast himself that he is busy always. But he will not do anything properly. He will get u 1 kg of rice and ask you to prepare for the whole locality say -a village. He will get you mutton and ask you to prepare chicken 65. Even if you protest telling you can’t make it, he’ll not accept. He will tell you to work hard day and night to prepare it. He will also tell he’ll provide you with the night cab. Even if you ask how can I prepare chicken 65 out of it by sitting day and night he will not accept.

Nithya: ohh..so dangerous he is!! Then I must escape. Next is a test engineer.

Vidhya: he is more dangerous than the other person. Whatever you do he will correctly tell only the fault in it. Even if you try to surprise him with 10 variety of food, he will tell the item which does not have salt in it. If you ask him “will you not at least tell that it is good”, he will reply back saying it is your duty to make it good so why must I tell that. He is sooo good …

Nithya: then a NO to him also. Next is the performance test engineer.

Vidhya: he is another specimen.. even if everything is good, he will ask why did it take this much time. If you take 10 minutes to make a coffee, he will question you asking why you have taken 10 min for a coffee which can be done within 5 min. Even if you say that he is talking about the instant coffee while you have made the filter coffee, he will not accept. The same will be with all the work you do. You must not think about this person if you want to do make up in your life !!!

Nithya: then! you mean to say that we should not marry software guys??

Vidhya: who said like that?? In software there is one more group. They are called the developers group. How much ever you hit them they will bear.

Nithya: then tell about them.

Vidhya: you don’t have to do anything. They will do everything themselves. If we sit back and just boost them it is enough. But the problem with them is- they will say “I know it” whatever you ask them.
Even that is ok. They will bear how much ever you hit them but the condition is you must keep saying “you are too good” after hitting them every time.

Nithya: this is superb. Then we must search for this kind of a groom..
