EVENT - NEW YEARS EVE - SNOOP DOGG - DEC 31st


@

CONCERT - THE BEATARDS - HIT LA !!!



The Beatards are currently making a lot of noise. Based in Brooklyn, NY, they are that fresh new sound people have been looking for. They came together through the infamous MIXTAPE RIOT! parties in NYC. They ran each night like a living mixtape, bringing together (and performing with) artists like Santogold, Trevor Andrew, Kudu, Bahamadia, Ladybug Mecca, Sway, Dandi Wind... They would also do live remixes on four turntables in between sets. They have a crazy buzz in NYC right now and they were just booked to come out west this week for a few shows w/ Belgium's # 1 Band, Kraak and Smaak.

Here's a link to the .zip file with their ONE SHEET and the NEW EP they just released last week independently. We are also happy to send out the hard copy upon request.

About the Voting

Initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. The ballots were then sent to a national sampling of more than 15,000 people based among other things on what type of music they listen to, what they buy and how many albums they purchase per year. The top three vote getters in each category were determined to be the nominees for this year's American Music Awards (except in the Artist of the Year and T-Mobile Breakthrough categories, which each have five nominees). Winners will be determined by online voting at amavote.com (votes will be collected from October 14 to November 7).

R.I.P. - Madelyn Payne Dunham


HONOLULU – Barack Obama's grandmother, whose personality and bearing shaped much of the life of the Democratic presidential contender, has died, Obama announced Monday, one day before the election. Madelyn Payne Dunham was 86. Obama announced the news from the campaign trail in Charlotte, N.C. The joint statement with his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng said Dunham died peacefully late Sunday night after a battle with cancer.

They said: "She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances."

Obama learned of her death Monday morning while he was campaigning in Jacksonville, Fla. He planned to go ahead with campaign appearances.

The family said a private ceremony would be held later.

Last month, Obama took a break from campaigning and flew to Hawaii to be with Dunham as her health declined.

Obama said the decision to go to Hawaii was easy to make, telling CBS that he "got there too late" when his mother died of ovarian cancer in 1995 at 53, and wanted to make sure "that I don't make the same mistake twice."
