No this isn't another chapter to R. Kelly's never ending song, but this is a Twitter account. Some how the talented friend, Tammy, locked her self in her closet for a total of 2 ½ days. As an anniversary she relived these days on Twitter and let me tell you this is one hell of a read.

Friday the 13

2009-02-17T23:54:00.002-06:00

'ight it got me!!!!! Peep out my Friday the 13 story this year.

Ok, had a middle school dance that day. The day, nothing out the ordinary. I did go in a little early so I can make it to the school on time, dance started at 7. I get there bout 15 till 6 and this little homie thats been my little helper for the last few dances is there. I say hi to him and we unload the gear, set up and everythings fine.

Now Since it's sort of a small group, 250-300 I use a small speaker system and for the last 2 years (been doing there dances that long) I've always used one outlet. I always knew this wasnt a good look, but it's been ok all the other times. I have thought about using a second outlet so I dont trip the breaker, but I tryed that once already and the nearest one is one in this utility closet and it took me 30 mins to get someone to open it that time.

Well this gig is like all the rest...REQUEST up the ass!!!! Dont you think if the song is on the local radio station's most played list that week I'm going to play it. These kids just think I need to be told what to play. I think this time was the worst...it was every 30 secs I had to stop to take yet another request so i could never get in a groove or "the zone".

30 mins left in the gig and this is where it all goes wrong. Out of nowhere all my gear and lights shut off!!!!! Yup I get the "FUCK!!!" reaction. I knew I tripped the breaker, but I was just hopeing some little punk kid pulled the plug. I look at it and it's in. I have the extension cords with LED lights in the plug to let you know it has power, well it wasnt on. I grab a extra extension cord I have and run to the other side of the room and plug it in, run back and plug the two together. Everything lights up..... Now while I'm doing this I did notice the kids started booing and then started chanting "you suck"..... I go to my laptop and Serato is not reponding to anything I do. I unplug all the usb's and connect them to my backup laptop up that's ready to go under the table and quickly find the last song I was playing and load it up and play it. I jump on the mic and just say "hay in 2 years this is the first it's happen, oh well guess I do suck"....in all it must have been less then 2 mins, maybe just a min and a half, but let me say it was the loooongest mins EVER!!!!

Oddly bout a hr before it happened I got a strange case of the "hand shakes". Right then I knew something bad was going to happen and it suuure did.

One Mexican Club

2009-01-26T22:46:00.005-06:00

Benny and I went down to Austin this past weekend to kick it with Cody, it was his bday. Well ALL night and morning we talked bout eating IHOP. So we leave his crib hungover ready to eat. We jump on the hight way and figure a IHOP will be with in the next few exits. HELL NO!!!! A hour and 15 mins later we finally see a sign for a IHOP. We get in take our seats no clue where we're at. We realize we didnt eat the day before so we're super hungry. We eat and make small talk with the chic surver. We mentioned we still had a drive to get home and she asked where we're from and what we're doing there. We say we live in Dallas and down there to party. Her response was, "PARTY IN TEMPLE?!?!?!". We were like na, we partyed in Austin. We then asked what the scene's like in there o'Temple. She replys with all there is a one Mexican club and other then that some place throws a party on Tuesdays.

We leave there and come across this little gem down the road and right across from it is a Tejano Club.....it all makes sence now.

I need to go back one day and visit....... get drunk and get my griitoooo on!!!

Side note...while there Cody mentioned how his band is getting back togeather, they had all been doing side projects.....peep them out, me really dig them and they're all great.

Eight Hundred Seventeen Flavors

2009-01-13T13:55:00.005-06:00

Taping on a new show I'm doing music for is this weekend and here is the intro by Syntax Strange

No remixes for the yungsters

2009-01-12T11:30:00.002-06:00

ok so last year I had this happen a few times. Here is this weekends tale of it again. Party was for yungsters, After they sung "happy birthday" to the girls (party was for 2 sisters) I played the TI/Rhianna Live your life song. Well I played a new remix I got with Pitbull on it. In the remix it cuts out TI’s first verse and replaces it with a new Pitbull verse. Ok so they hear the song, get the hype response, the kids start dancing, they sing the first chorus and when the new Pitbull verse kicks in they got hella confused, stop dancing stop singing. The chorus kicks in and it grabs them back. Well I guess they expected the first TI verse now, but the remix goes into his second verse, throws them off again. I was on the floor laughing watching this go down.

This confused look happend too many times playing for the youth last year and now at my first gig of the new year. For now on no playing a new remix with a different structure then the version on the radio.

Dert + Bjork

2009-01-04T22:36:00.002-06:00

Miami

2008-12-18T00:27:00.003-06:00

Late in this blog....so last week I did a xmas party for TCU. It was held at Froggy Bottom Beach Club. Cool spot with real cheap drinks. Well with this gig I got my second fav request ever.

Dude: When are you going to play some good music?
Me: What do you consider good music?
Dude: ummm, Will Smith, yeah, Will Smith, play that Miami song it'll get the party jumping.

I mean don't get me wrong Will Smith has some classic songs....back in the day, but I wasnt expecting this request. To think of it Will Smith has to do with my first fav request. It was at a middle school gig last year and a kid asked if I had the Bad Boys 2 Soundtrack. The kid had the saddest face when I told him no.

2008-11-06T09:28:00.004-06:00

yeah, so last Friday was Halloween. As usual we did our Halloween part. Well for the most part when we and crew throw a shindig its like about what we want to play/do. Well some how this year it semt the kiddies thought this was about being KRUNK like the club.

Alot of my gigs as of late have been school dances and I have to play nothing but Top 40 Rap/Hip-Hop. With us being in control I was wanting to play whatever I felt, but daang this year the kids there wanted me to be in playing BS mode like "Stanky Leg" and "Ricky Bobby (dance)". ehhhh, we played a little bit, but as soon as we switched to something other then Top 40 the place cleared out. Which wasnt a bad thing cuz most everyone there we didnt know. So it was just the core group of friends and ppl we wanted to be there so it was all good.

Pic from http://www.stickam.com/ducttapeandrazorblades <--Also a vid from the night

WTF?!?!?!? Moment: /Playing Ghetto Boys "Minds Playing Tricks on Me" *Halloween song of all Halloween songs

LSOB!!!

2008-07-14T05:01:00.002-06:00

ummm, I'm bout throwed on that Shlitz Beer. Oh well... this blog is all bout LSOB (Lighter Shade of Brown). At the moment I only really have there stuff on tape...yes old school tape, but I just ordered all there cds on amazon. Here are some of there vids....

First, On a Sunday Afternoon
MAN this reminds me of o' Reverchone Park ooon a Sunday Afternoon non the less in the 90's. Shiiit I must have been bout no older then 10, but I remember my folks cruz'in that park with me in the back seat. The video is JUST how I remember it!!!!

Next,Homies
Now this track, I STILL have the single on tape. B-Side being Low Rider Madness, a VERY smooth intramental. Back when I had just one turntable I would put that B-Side on a scratch to it. This song just reminds me of being about 12-13 and... well just chill'in with my homies back then. The songs talks about doing alot of "bad" things like drinking the first time with your Homies. Well that really didn't with me, but hay the song is very ill.

Hay DJ

I hate songs giving shout outs to the DJ, but hay this song entered my life before I was a "DJ". This songs oddly reminds me of Prince's "U Got The Look". Why you ask, I use to record videos off MTV and BET and that use to be right after "Hay DJ" on my VHS tape.

Well the sun is comming up and it's time for some sleeeep.......

PALABRAZOS 08

2008-05-19T21:57:00.003-06:00

yo, so I'm SUPER late on writing this...sorry. I went out to this show a couple of Fridays ago, Palabrazos 08. This was put togeather by Cara Mia Theatre and Sound Culture. Hosted by the great Tammy Gomez and with Cesar on the visuals. If you don't remember he helped out with all the visuals at the Halloween wearhouse party this past year, hope to do more parties soon with him. I had such a great time at this event and got to hang out with a lot of my Fort Worth peeps. This event was headlined by Verbobala.

Having a PARTY!!!

2008-04-10T21:17:00.002-06:00

ok, not really having a party. Been going threw a stack of cd singles from the 90's and found this in there, Tracey Lee - The Theme: It's Party Time.

LP version

Instrumental

Accapella

Super tierd

2008-04-06T23:08:00.002-06:00

great weekend....

ok so Me and my boy John had two gigs this past Saturday. First stop was at Kyle's (KMFD) pool. He had to put togeather a mixer for his apt and asked us to play. We thought this was going to be a tuff one cuz the apt management said NO HIP-HOP. I like stuff like this cuz it makes me dig deep in my crates and play music I usually don't play. I kicked it off with some jazzy and down tempo type stuff and John played some great rock songs, but as soon as the managment left we played some hip-hop. The day went very well and the people where great and the weather was awesome. This went longer them expected so we didn't have much down time as we wished we had.

Yes, we used two differant systems on the same set-up.

Well next was the "Campout for Hope" gig at TCU. We had the midnight till 2 time slot. ummmm, well we where told this event had a bunch of folks early in the day since it started like around 5 that afternoon. Well I guessed they all got tierd and left cuz when we showed there was only a hand full of folks and by midnight well.........ummm, at least we played on a nice sounding system. At the end we played a little dub-step that sounded great, bass had the stage shaking. We got shut down at around 1:45, oh well. Afterwards we ended the night at the great Denny's and yo they got this new shit, it's like some breakfest burger. Shit had a egg and hashbrowns in that shit, fucker was great.

Question

2008-03-23T12:44:00.003-06:00

So why is it every time I go to a Top 40 club the bouncers want to give me a hard time, like I'm some thug, some gangbanger, some creep looking to drug a chic or something....come on man FUNK DAT.

I just want a shot and beer and laught at ppl going ape shit to "LOW" like it's the best song in the world.

My eye's in Pain

2008-03-06T19:36:00.003-06:00

Well I some how got a ill case of tha Pink Eye so I'm just at home catching up on ripping cds to my HD. Well in the stack of cds I grabbed this was in it.

House of Pain - "Same As It Ever Was"

I got this on tape back when it first came out ('94). I was a kid so I don't remembered if this was big, but I was always bumping it on the Sony Walkman on my way to school. I would tell my friends about it and all they knew about House of Pain was "Jump Around" and for some jacked up reason that's all everyone thinks of when you say House of Pain. I'm sure you'll hear it over and over next weekend with it being St. Patties day weekend. Here's a few tracks from it plus the video of "On Point"

On Point

Word Is Bond

Back From The Dead

Five

2008-02-25T12:28:00.002-06:00

Yeah so this week it makes it 5 years I've been at the '9 to 5' J-O-B! Since I'm so naturally paroniod every day I come into work I fear I'm going to get fired.

ps. and no the song isn't why I fear getting fired. It's just the only 'cool' song I can think that has '5' in the title

R.I.P

2008-02-03T23:06:00.000-06:00

sometimes you never know when things will end....

This weekend one of Dallas great tablelist died Fran aka DJ Frantic. Dude was crazy ill and a very cool guy. I met him a few years back at bar that was having a little open table/dj battle thing. I was so shocked he was down to earth, I've seen him in several battles around Dallas including DMC and I was like in ahhh that he was just talking to me. Here's a very vids he made.......RIP Frantic

Yo

2008-01-28T12:01:00.000-06:00

So I spent all weekend listening and organizing music for some up comming mobile gigs I landed at some schools (Middle and High) of all places. With all of todays music about sex and drugs it makes it a little difficult to know what should and should not be played. Even if it's a radio edit these kids know the real versions and at times sing out loud the real version. During my time in school I only attended one school dance and I was too drunk to know how that dj did things. Oh well I quess I'll just feel my way threw these gigs. I've done a few middle school dances already and they went well for the most part. At least with the High School kids I think I can get away with playing a little out side the box of Top 40.

oh and hopfully Me and some friends will get to work on an 80's party or something real soon.....my look of choice for the event Linear. Just peep there look!

Show with OZ TEN

2008-01-14T11:55:00.000-06:00

2 years

2008-01-09T11:01:00.000-06:00

Well it's been 3 years now for me to have Sirius Radio. I got it the year Howard Stern announced his move to Sirius. altho he didn't start till a year later. Well today marks two full years he's been on Sirius and let me tell ya'll it's the best. Even if you dont like him you need to get satellite radio. All the programs and stations are the best, BBC Radio 1, Boombox and Shade 45 are a few of my fav. Fuck FM radio!

Scheek Fool!

2008-01-04T13:22:00.000-06:00

A little youtube vid for ya'll. Goldfingers 'Scheek Fool'. Sorry, but there aint shit online bout this cat. It was a BIG hit in the early 90's here in Dallas. It got a lot of air play and as a mater of fact still does get play on KNON (89.3) from time to time. This song was put out on Ultrax Records, but as from looking around on the site there's no sight of Goldfinger.

It's a new year.

2008-01-02T11:16:00.000-06:00

Ight this year I'll be writing in here more often about everything/anything going on with this Swoop.....

Right now I've been drinking hot green tea EVERY day. I had been drinking once a week for a few months, but I think with this new year I'll up it to once a day. At first I added suger to it, but now I'm drinking it plain and wow it was nasty at first, but now I'm getting use to the taste.

2007-10-25T09:24:00.001-06:00

Being sick sucks

2007-04-11T19:58:00.000-06:00

Well i've been sick for a day or so, but i'm still trying to get all my cds coded to MP3's so one day i can switch things up to a Serato set-up. Here's two tracks for ya'll...

the first is from Skinny Puppy, this one has a lot of old electro sounds in it with that hard bass in it too. Goes to show you even gothic white kids love the 808.

Skinny Puppy - Guilty

Now a classic love of mine, Sneaker Pimps. I guess you can say this is the B-side to Spin Spin Suger. Like everyone else i had to get my hands on the Armand remix to that song. Well on the cd single this was the last song. Too bad they only made one record with Kelli Ali.

Sneaker Pimps - Walk the Rain

2007-03-11T22:10:00.000-06:00

For those that dont know....I've been in love with the sound of Brazil for awhile now. I dont know, but it just took over me when i first heard it. I really cant remember the first time, but DAMN the sounds are great. Baile Funk needs to hit the states like no other....on the real.
