CONCERT - THE BEATARDS - HIT LA !!!

2008-11-21T13:40:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-03T14:43:00.000-08:00

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."

2008-10-10T14:17:00.000-07:00

Hey All!!

So, these are very exciting times and Barack the Vote has tons of fun events coming up this month!! The most recent one is a Barack the Vote Comedy Show, that we are hosting next Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Tommy Davidson is hosting it and they have lined up quite a few other comedians that are performing as well. To name a few, Chris Spencer will be there as well as AJ Jamal. BIZ Markie will be spinning at the event as well!! YAY!!

Anyways, I need the help of anyone I can get this month, especially this event!! This is a FREE SHOW!!! The catch is, there's always a catch :-)...to enter you must register to vote (if you haven't already), all those who have registered already are just going to be checked off of the list and then be able to go in (still free). In saying all of this, we are going to have like 10 voter registration tables and we need people (you!!) to man them and keep everything as organized as we can!!

Oh and if you know of any others who would like to help, by all means...pass along the info!!
Here is all pertinent information:

The Wilshire Theater
8440 Wilshire Blvd.

Beverly Hills, CA 90211
Doors open at 7PM
Show PROMPTLY begins at 8PM

We would need you (if you are available) to be there at 5:30pm to help setting up and get instructions on what you will be doing! Everyone will be in Barack the Vote T-Shirts, so that we will all be uniform!! No, you do not have to buy yet ANOTHER shirt form us! :-) We are providing everyone with the same LIMITED EDITION Barack the Vote T!

So, if you can help, please do! I appreciate everyone's help throughout this whole year in all of our endeavors, but it's not over!!! We must keep trucking until the final hour!!

I love you all!!!

P.S. Pls. let me know sooner than later, so that we will have a proper head count of volunteers.

P.P.S. I am attaching the flyer also, so please pass it on to whomever you can!!! Send it to blogs, everyone!!!

CONCERT - OCT 15th - JAY Z

2008-10-10T13:33:00.000-07:00

Who’s big enough to throw some attention back on the venerable Hollywood Palladium, which has been shuttered for most of the last year while undergoing a complete makeover? Think of a rapper whose name rhymes with cray-zee, which is what hip-hop fans are likely to go at the prospect of catching one of the genre’s biggest names in a facility with a maximum capacity of about 4,000.

Yes, Jay-Z will bring his game to the Palladium on Oct. 15, backed by a 12-piece band. Tickets will go on sale Sept. 5.

The goal of the renovation by facility operator Live Nation is to restore it to the state it was in when it opened Sept. 23, 1940, with a performance by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and that big band’s on–the-rise singer, one Frank Sinatra, who was then about 18 months away from scoring his first chart hit under his own name.

“I’m honored to play such an iconic venue,” Jay-Z said in a statement issued today. "Just as Frank ushered in a golden era, I hope this opening will mark the beginning of a resurgence in generation-defining live music.”

The renovation covers the entire interior and exterior of the venue, with a new dance floor, a new façade replicating the original architecture and other changes made in keeping with the building’s original look, Live Nation officials said.

Among those who have performed at the Palladium in recent decades have been the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Metallica, Public Enemy, the Sex Pistols, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and No Doubt.

Design changes unveiled for Lincoln penny

2008-09-23T17:30:00.000-07:00

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer Tue Sep 23, 7:06 AM ET

WASHINGTON - Next year, the penny will be getting not just one new look but four of them, the first changes to the 1-cent coin in 50 years. The U.S. Mint unveiled the new designs during a ceremony Monday at the Lincoln Memorial. The coin changes are part of the government's commemoration next year of the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

BORDER=0 WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=250 ALT="Click Here"></A> </NOSCRIPT>

Lincoln's profile will reman on one side of the coin but the Lincoln Memorial will be replaced on the other side by the new images, with a different one being introduced every three months.

The first new design will depict a log cabin, representing the place in Kentucky where Lincoln was born in 1809.

The second design will feature a young Lincoln taking a break from working as a rail splitter in Indiana by reading a book. Lincoln as a young lawyer standing in front of the old state capitol building in Springfield, Ill., will be the design on the third coin.

The final coin in the series will show the half-completed Capitol dome, evoking Lincoln's famous order that construction of the Capitol should continue during the Civil War as a symbol that the Union would continue.

The first new penny is scheduled to go into circulation starting on Feb. 12, Lincoln's birthday, and then every three months after that.

The changing designs mark another effort by the Mint to duplicate the success of the 50-state quarter program, the most popular coin collecting program in U.S. history. The nickel also had changing designs to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Mint has embarked on an effort to revive interest in a $1 coin by introducing four new designs each year honoring a different president.

Under the law that authorized the design changes for the Lincoln penny, after 2009 the "tails" side of the coin will be changed to feature "an image emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single and united country." That image has not been chosen yet.

Lincoln's image was added to the penny in 1909 when the nation was celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth and the Lincoln Memorial was added to the other side of the coin in 1959 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the 16th president's birth.

Ah, Sweden. Land of multi-purpose knives, supermodels, and a perennially infectious pop music scene (among other things).

But in reference to the last item on that list, the country offers a smorgasboard (Swedish for buffet!) of talented artists to choose from, most recent of which is Lykke Li, the songstress from Stockholm whose debut CD, Youth Novels, has already garnered praise across the globe.

After a sold-out American tour this past spring with El Perro Del Mar, Lykke is back for more. She'll be headling a tour throughout North America, starting with August appearances in New York and L.A. and wrapping up in November in San Francisco.

To get your dance dance dance on, check out Lykke Li's tour dates below. And don't forget to tell her välkommen tillbaka:

Play It Again, Eddie Murphy
Tuesday September 9 9:49 AM ET

Los Angeles (E! Online) - There are two things most people remember about the Beverly Hills Cop movies: Eddie Murphy as Detective Axel Foley and the flick's Grammy-winning theme song.

Well, when Beverly Hills Cop IV goes into production, director Brett Ratner promises both will be back.

"It's a whole new interpretation," Ratner tells me.

Composer-producer Harold Faltermeyer's synth-pop theme will get an update, but not too much. "Why change that song?" Ratner says.

He goes so far as to say that one of the "biggest problems" with director Michael Mann's movie adaptation of Miami Vice with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in 2006 was the missing iconic theme song.

"I said to [Mann], 'Why didn't you have it?' " Ratner says. "He said, 'We're doing something new.' That's like doing Mission Impossible without the theme song."

Production on BHC IV will reportedly begin next year with a 2010 release date, or 25 years after the first installment of the franchise.

Ratner is also busy putting together a DVD about the music videos he's directed for people like Madonna, Jessica Simpson and Miley Cyrus, to name a few. "They're interviewing all the singers I've worked with," Ratner says. "I'm worried."

Theatre - BRONXTALE in LA - September 23-October 19.

2008-09-05T12:18:00.000-07:00

Chazz Palminteri's one-man show A Bronx Tale will play the Wadsworth Theatre, September 9-21. Tony winner Jerry Zaks will direct.

Palminteri, who wrote the show, plays 18 roles in the semi-autobiographical tale about growing up in the Bronx. He first performed A Bronx Tale in small theaters in L.A. in 1989 before bringing it to New York for an Off-Broadway run. An expanded version of the play was turned into a 1993 film starring Palminteri and Robert De Niro, who also directed. Most recently, Palminteri performed the show on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre earlier this season.

Palminteri's stage credits also include the 2002 Off-Broadway production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. He received an Oscar nomination for Bullets Over Broadway; his other film credits include Hurlyburly, The Usual Suspects, and A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.

Zaks is a four time Tony Award winner for productions of The House of Blue Leaves, Lend Me a Tenor, Six Degrees of Separation, and Guys and Dolls. He picked up additional Tony nominations for Anything Goes, Smokey Joe's Café, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Following the L.A. engagement, the show will conclude the SHN/Best of Broadway Series with a run at the Golden Gate Theatre, September 23-October 19.

Jay-Z to open newly renovated Hollywood Palladium

Live Nation (NYSE: LYV) announced today that Grammy award winning international superstar JAY-Z will christen the newly renovated, world famous Hollywood Palladium, with an intimate performance on Wednesday, October 15th. Reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, who was the first performer on the legendary stage in 1940, JAY-Z, with an incredible 12-piece band backing him, will be the first artist to play the venue which has undergone a year-long, top-to-bottom renovation, bringing the iconic music venue back to its original grandeur. Tickets for this event go on sale Friday, September 5th at 10am on www.livenation.com <http://www.livenation.com/> .

Built expressly for the purpose of showcasing live music, The Hollywood Palladium opened its doors on September 23, 1940 with a concert by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra featuring the soon to be famous Frank Sinatra. In those days, the Palladium was the place to be seen for celebrities and wildly popular with local music and dance fans as well.

"I'm honored to play such an iconic venue. Just as Frank ushered in a golden era, I hope this opening will mark the beginning of a resurgence in generation defining live music," stated JAY-Z.

The venue is receiving a total renovation of all interior and exterior areas including a new dance floor, a new façade that emulates the building’s original architecture, expanded concessions, upgraded restrooms, improved interior lighting, as well as brand new paint and carpeting, all of which are congruent with the venue’s original look. In addition, major upgrades have been made to the stage infrastructure which will enable the venue to accommodate larger, modern productions. Sound experts are revamping the acoustic treatments on the inside of the venue, which is expected to give music fans the best concert experience possible.

In 1961 the venue became a television studio and over the years has served as the location for such award shows as the Emmy Awards, The Grammy Awards, The NAACP Awards and Country Music Awards. Eventually the venue returned to its musical roots, hosting many of the biggest names in rock and roll throughout the decades, including everyone from The Rolling Stones, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, The Who and Rod Stewart to The Police, The Replacements, The Clash, Public Enemy, Metallica, Jane’s Addiction, The Pixies, Beastie Boys, No Doubt and Red Hot Chili Peppers, just to name a few. Now, in 2008, JAY-Z ushers in a new generation of today’s top artists making Hollywood’s old jewel a brand new gem.

Son of rap producer Dr. Dre found dead; Andre Young Jr. was 20

By Andrew Blankstein, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
11:35 AM PDT, August 26, 2008

Rap impresario Dr. Dre's 20-year-old son was found dead over the weekend in his Woodland Hills home, coroner's officials said.

Andre R. Young Jr. had been out with friends the night before and was discovered in his bed by his mother at 10:24 a.m. Saturday, said Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Ed Winter.

"She found him unresponsive and called paramedics," Winter said, adding that an autopsy had been completed but that determination of the cause of death was deferred pending the outcome of a "gamut of tests, including toxicology."

Andre Young Sr., professionally known as Dr. Dre, released a statement to AllHipHop.com on the death of his son, through a representative.

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time," the representative told the website.

Rapper-producer Dr. Dre is currently working on what is being called his final studio album, "Detox." He was a member of the landmark rap group N.W.A.

DENVER - Michelle Obama cast herself and husband Barack as people guided by bedrock American values and a desire to improve the world for their two daughters and all children in her address Monday to the Democratic National Convention.

She was slotted as the showcase speaker on Day One of the convention, and her mission was to help voters get to know the Democratic nominee as a husband and father, as someone who understands the problems that families face every day.

"We want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them," she said in excerpts released in advance of her appearance.

Obama said she and her husband were raised with the values shared by many Americans: "that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."

"Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation," she said.

Voters know the public Barack Obama, the guy on magazine covers and nightly newscasts. His wife hoped to reassure voters that her husband is a lot like they are, despite all the attention given to his African father, his over-the-top minister and his exotic name.

And in an age when candidates' spouses face scrutiny, too, Obama also hoped to send the message that she a true believer in American values. The Obama campaign said Michelle Obama's life adds up to "a great American story: modest means but big dreams — and encouragement from loving parents."

The campaign prepared "South Side Girl," a biographical film narrated by Michelle Obama's mother, to run before her speech. She was being introduced by her brother, Craig Robinson, the head basketball coach at Oregon State University.

After the speech, Barack Obama planned to appear via satellite.

Michelle Obama's mother and brother joined her Monday morning for an inspection of the massive stage where she was to speak later in the day. Daughters Malia and Sasha tagged along, as did Barack Obama's sister Maya Soetoro-Ng.

Seven-year-old Sasha got to peek over the podium and bang the gavel, sending a "thump" echoing across the convention hall. Then her mother did the same.

Obama's speech stresses her role as a mother.

"I come here as a Mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world. They're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night," she said.

Since Barack Obama launched his campaign more than 18 months ago, his wife has helped humanize him.

She has reminded voters that he can be sloppy. She scolds him for leaving a clogged toilet for her to handle. The couple frequently tell people that her words of inspiration before his big 2004 convention speech were, "Just don't screw it up, buddy."

She also talks about Barack Obama being raised by a single mother who sometimes struggled to make ends meet and she describes their own challenges of juggling the demands of work and children.

But Michelle Obama has also created complications for her husband — most famously, that the campaign had made her proud of America for the first time in her adult life. She later said she meant pride in the political process, not in the country in general.

Critics have dissected everything from her college thesis to a "fist bump" with her husband.

To counter such critics, Obama planned to drive home that her success is the result of hard work by two loving parents — "a father who was a blue collar city worker, and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me." They managed to send both children to Ivy League schools.

Fraser Robinson was a Democratic precinct captain who worked swing shifts at the water plant. His wife Marian raised the kids in a one-bedroom apartment on the top floor of her aunt's house, where Michelle and Craig slept in the living room, converted into two tiny bedrooms and a study area.
