Beast @ CMJ 2009 (more by Chris La Putt)

Lady Gaga was nominated five times. Considering her rocket to fame over the last year, many were expecting more for her. But at least the contests are going to be really interesting: Beyoncé, [Taylor] Swift and Lady Gaga are going head to head in three of the most important categories: album, record and song of the year. Will one of them sweep, or will the lady vote be split?

One of the usual complaints about the Grammys is that it over-rewards older, established, familiar acts at the expense of newer, fresher ones. MGMT, the Brooklyn synth-rock duo, was nominated for best new artist, a big coup although not unexpected. But some of the shoulda-been names that have been circulated and Tweeted: Grizzly Bear, another acclaimed Brooklyn group; Regina Spektor, a young New York songwriter who started in the underground and has found some mainstream popularity; Diane Birch, a young soul-style singer, just the revivalist type the Grammys usually adore; and the Decemberists, an alt-folk-rock band from Portland, Ore., that released an ambitious concept album this year. [NY Times]

One surprise (for me anyway) came this year in the video category. Montreal's Beast were nominated for "Mr. Hurricane". That video with a list of some of the other nominees, below...

Tinariwen @ Le Poisson Rouge (more by Tim Griffin)

Tinariwen are touring North America in the first quarter of 2010. Tickets recently went on sale for 2 NYC shows. It's a long journey for the band from Northern Mali (assuming they still live there), and it's a chance for us to again see the artists who made the "best world music album" of the decade (according to the Times Online)...

"The Tuaregs' debut, recorded in a Saharan radio station, is the sound of the sands, stones and emptiness, filtered through a woozy wall of guitars. Today they are genuine rock stars, but this, in all its ragged glory, is the one."

Amadou & Mariam @ All Points West 2008 (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)

The contest to guess the lineup of this year's All Point West festival continues. I honestly don't even know the lineup yet - I'll be receiving it right before I post it at 7am Monday morning.

Will Coldplay be on the lineup? A lot of people seem convinced based on the band's current tour schedule (which you can see in its entirety below). If they are playing the fest, well, that will be weird.

UPDATE: yes, Coldplay are in fact playing the festival

Amadou and Mariam played All Points West last year, are touring the US with Coldplay in July, and have some headlining dates scheduled in June (including a show at Webster Hall on June 8th). The Mali duo was also just added to this year's Bonnaroo lineup.

Also recently added to Bonnaroo (music and comedy): Public Enemy, Ani Difranco, the Itals and Wailing Souls, Murs, Shadows Fall, High on Fire, Janelle Monáe, Pretty Lights, Tony Rice, Passion Pit, Hockey, White Rabbits, Jimmy Fallon, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, John Oliver, Rob Riggle, Rory Albanese, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Aziz Ansari, Kristen Schaal, Arj Barker, Todd Barry, Nick Thune, Wayne Federman, Nick Kroll, Kurt Braunholer, Amy Schumer, Kumail Nanjiani and Pete Holmes. Full Bonnaroo (June 11 - 14 in Manchester, Tennessee) lineup below...

STREAM: Amadou & Mariam - Welcome to Mali (MOV)


Back on November 21st I asked, "What is the best album of 2008?" In that post I listed the top ten albums according to Metacritic's aggregated critic-rating statistics. At the time, The Bug held the number one spot for his album "London Zoo".

Amadou & Mariam's Welcome to Mali was released on November 17th in the UK and hadn't even been listed on Metacritic yet. It appeared on the site a week or two after that, and it in turn knocked The Bug down to the number two spot. To this day "Welcome to Mali" holds the title of best rated album of 2008... even though it doesn't come out in the U.S. until March 24, 2009.

In June A&M will visit our country again, to give us some more of their great live shows...

The singer Mariam Doumbia and her husband, the guitarist/vocalist Amadou Bagayoko, have been making music together since they first met and fell in love at the Institute for Young Blind People in Bamako, Mali's capital, three decades ago. Over the last few years, they have achieved remarkable critical and popular acclaim in Europe and North America.

Amadou & Mariam are especially beloved for their live shows - they recently performed in the Africa Express event that was part of the BBC Electric Proms festival; the concert also featured Johnny Marr, The Magic Numbers, Damon Albarn, and Hard-Fi as well as numerous African artists. They will be headlining a Spring tour and will be opening for Coldplay in July.

All dates below...

Though I got there late on the first night (in time to see Girl Talk, some of Underworld and then Radiohead though), I did make the trek to Jersey City all three days of the All Points West festival this past weekend. Unfortunately (for the festival I guess?) I don't think there are not many people besides state police, ferry operators, festival staff and photographers that can say the same thing. The admission price was high and Sunday's lineup was not very popular (in this neck of the woods anyway). Sunday's crowd looked completely different than Friday and Saturday. Sunday's crowd looked like people that didn't mind paying close to $100 to see Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and Trey Anastasio. Saturday's crowd looked like people that weren't about to spend another $100 to see Cat Power, Rogue Wave and The Secret Machines in Jersey City on a Sunday.

Anyway, I went Sunday (to which I got very many "Why??"'s). I was most excited to see Amadou & Mariam followed by Rodrigo y Gabriela (the 'world music' segment of the show) followed by Cat Power. They are the three artists that started the day off on the same stage that Radiohead headlined the two nights before. And because I was in attendance at both of those Radiohead performances, it was extremely difficult to get myself moving back to Jersey City on Sunday early-afternoon. Somehow I did though. It probably took me about 90 minutes to get there, and the whole time I knew there was a good chance I'd miss A&M. When I finally did get there, it was about to rain and, for the second day in a row, I had to wait on a long line to get through the gate. Luckily for me, the impending rain also caused Sunday to start late. I heard it was because they were making the grounds a little safer and more waterproof before they let anyone in (I didn't confirm that). Because of the delay I got to see a song of Neil Halstead, a song of De Novo Dahl, and almost all of Amadou & Mariam who weren't a letdown, but all factors considered (early, gloomy, about to rain, small crowd, running late, frustrating commute, seeing Radiohead in the same spot the night before), I wasn't having the time of my life like I was when I saw the same group play Summerstage a couple of years earlier.

The schedule was all screwed up at this point, so from A&M I was able to run over and catch a decent amount of Rogue Wave on one of the smaller stages. They sounded great and weren't boring. I think that's when it started to drizzle. Not bad enough to seek shelter, but enough for the umbrellas (which supposedly weren't allowed in the venue) to start popping out. From Rogue Wave I headed back to the main stage to catch Rodrigo y Gabriela. As exciting as it was to see them again, it really started to pour during their set. Sick of getting wet, I moved to a covered area. I could still hear them from a distance, but it was hardly like being upfont. That's where I stayed until Cat Power.

If you're going to All Points West on Sunday, don't miss Amadou & Mariam, "the blind couple from Mali", and their band. Bao caught their set at Lollapalooza. More pics and the setlist from that below...

AMADOU ET MARIAM @ SUMMERSTAGE | JULY 16, 2006 (CRED)

I saw Amadou et Mariam play Central Park Summerstage in NYC Sunday afternoon (July 16, 2006). They're "a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Mariam Doumbia (vocals) and Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals)". Also known as "the blind couple from Mali", "The duo produces music that mixes traditional Mali sound with rock guitars, Syrian violins, Cuban trumpets, Egyptian ney, Colombian trombones, Indian tablas and Dogon percussion. All these elements put together have been referred to as 'Afro-blues'."

It was HOT out and I spent the entire day before watching bands in Coney Island. Factors like that might ruin an outdoor Sunday afternoon concert for me, yet I'm pretty sure it was the most fun I've had at a show all year. I'll probably consider it the best, or close to the best, show of 2006 (when the year is over....for those who like lists). It was the first time in recent history that I remember myself REALLY wishing the band wouldn't stop playing. I left Central Park drenched in sweat and on a total adrenaline high. Amadou et Mariam please come back soon.

Thx Wikipedia for some of the quotes. Thx David Prince for the picture - I took some, but I can't seem to get them off my seemingly-corrupted memory card ($@#$@#$). Too bad I missed their Thursday afternoon show in Brooklyn.

AMADOU ET MARIAM @ BONNAROO 2006

ARCADE FIRE & DAVID BOWIE @ SUMMERSTAGE (more)

David Rivel wrote in to clear up some confusion....

----

I am David Rivel, Executive Director of City Parks Foundation, the non-profit organization that produces Central Park SummerStage. We also put on free arts, sports and educational programs and work with community groups in 700 other parks around the five boroughs.

A friend of mine alerted me to the postings here, so I thought I’d respond to some of the questions about the festival.

SummerStage is a FREE festival consisting of 32 events: music, dance, spoken word and others. Many people assume that because the festival is free that it must not cost us anything to put it on: people think (incorrectly) that the artists donate their time and that the labor is volunteer.

In fact, SummerStage costs about $2 million to produce. The stage labor, site crew and security force is all paid (with benefits). Artists charge their normal fees.

In order to pay for SummerStage, City Parks Foundation does several things: we raise money from corporate sponsors, foundations interested in supporting free music and individuals willing to become members. You can get information about becoming a member by going to our website at www.summerstage.org. We also run a concession stand and sell some merchandise. We also host six shows every year that have a ticket price. Let me explain how these “benefit” shows work.

Each year, we send out a letter to everyone who produces shows in New York City, asking if they would like to do a benefit for SummerStage. They choose the artist (subject to our approval), set the ticket price, and do all the promotion. We agree to list the event in our brochure and materials. We receive a flat fee from the producer, plus an overage depending on how many tickets are sold.

It’s a great way to raise money for the free shows, but we are aware that the benefit shows sometimes interfere with the message we are trying to send out, which is that SummerStage is a wonderful, FREE festival. As a result, we are reducing the number of benefit shows we do. Last summer, we did eight benefit shows; this coming summer, we will be doing only six. As for tickets, we do not know when they will be on sale (since they’re not, technically, our shows), but you can generally expect to see advertising for them in May. At our website, you can sign up for our e-mail list. We generally, but not always, send out information about how to buy tickets to the benefit shows as soon as they are announced.

If you come to a benefit show, know that you are helping to support all the free events we put on every year in Central Park.

I would welcome your additional comments, questions and feedback. Since I’m not a regular user of this site, I would ask that you write me at: City Parks Foundation, 830 Fifth Avenue, NYC 10021. I promise to respond to all letters received.

Stream (songs from) the Amadou & Miriam album

"Now American listeners have a chance to hear one of the year's most unexpected rock 'n' roll success stories: a nimble, playful CD that nods toward everything from indie-rock to dance music. This week the duo made a rare promotional trip to the United States, which ended with a pair of rapturously received concerts at Joe's Pub on Tuesday night. Sometime after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, they began the final encore with "La Réalité," an exuberant Afro-disco track that gives Mr. Bagayoko space to wind his guitar lines around a refrain borrowed from the eccentric reggae producer Lee Perry; from the noise in the crowd, even the two singers onstage must have known that people were dancing."

"You left Amadou and Mariam off your list for tonight monday this show was awesome. david Byrne was at the early show and I managed to sneek into the late show with my early show ticket stub. Awesome shows! They will be back on September 15 at the Hiro. I know it wil be a busy week but people should check them out. They are a blind couple from Mali that play some mean funk afrobeat rock'n'roll." [danfun - in the comments]

"Bagayoko met Mariam Doumbia in the mid-'70s at the Institute for the Young Blind in Bamako, the capital of Mali. Their connection, both romantic and musical, was immediate. "She sang, and taught students to sing and dance," Bagayoko said. "I had played (guitar) in many orchestras in Mali, including (Salif Keita's) Ambassadeurs du Motel."" [Montreal Gazette]
