RIP Scotty Beats
Today I was saddened to hear of the death of Raymond Scott "Scotty Beats" Brown II in an attempted carjacking.  I met Scotty when I sat in on some recording sessions for Familiar Faces' album Evolution in July 2004 at Night Flight Studio.  He was a very nice, personable guy who had a love for music.  Here is an article on his death.
