CMT Country Music Awards / Tony Awards Recap

Two important Award Ceremonys went down last week and here is our recap:

The CMTs in Nashville were hosted by Kid Rock for the second time. This time he slow-danced with Sheryl Crow!

Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert were the big winners of the night, with Swift winning the night’s biggest award, video of the year, for her song “Mine”. Unfortunately she could not perform live that night as she was on tour, but joined the show via video uplink.

Other performances included Keith Urban and Sugarland, who won duo video of the year, as well as Justin Bieber and Ludacris.

Also last Sunday the Tony Awards went down as we reported about a few weeks ago. The big scorer of the Awards was The Book of Mormon with nine awards followed by War Horse with five awards and The Normal Heart and Anything Goes with three awards.

Highlights of the fulminant night were Actor Hugh Jackman singing a duet with Presenter Neil Patrick Harris as well as attendances by the likes as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, Robin Williams, Brooke Shields and Patrick Wilson.

Culinary Happenings this Month

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Paris’ t is the setting for the annual French Wine Fair. Professionals and enthusiasts gather over two days to sample the country’s best wines and some 200 winemakers attend. Sounds like your attendance is required – if you happen to be around that area, make sure you pop in for some yummy reds or tangy whiteys!

France is rocking another delicious happening : Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne celebrates its Strawberry Festival with a village-wide street party on May 15^th. Stalls sell local delicacies as well as, naturally, heaps of strawberries but the big draw is the baking of an enormous strawberry tart, demolished by festival-goers as soon as it is completed. Sounds fun!

Perfect with these events: One Summer Radio from France. Electronics, Urban Music and Trip Hop will get you in a good mood for some fun outdoor activities.

South by Southwest 2011 Recap

Friday, March 25th, 2011

The SXSW® Music and Media Conference has just celebrated its 25th Anniversary. What this is? South by Southwest showcases hundreds of gigs and bands from around the globe on over eighty stages in downtown Austin, Texas, USA.

There were also movie screenings, exhibitions, trade shows and panel discussions for the industry crowd.

To put it in simple words: This conference looks out for all those great new acts that will be on Hot Rotation next year!

The highlights of this year’s conference were The Foo Fighters’ secret act, Jack White, Erykah Badu, the Wu Tang Clan as well as James Blake plus hundreds and hundreds of other newbies that played venues all around Austin.

The great thing about it is: people like you and me can also get in on the action and purchase a ticket. The only downside to it: you will have to wait a full year!

You should go ahead and check the SXSW very own radio station via STREAMIUM, simply search for South By Southwest and make time pass more quickly until next year.

Another little something not to be missed: Egon Schiele’s exhibition at the Orangery in Vienna’s Lower Belvedere gallery.

Music News in February

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Sad news first: The White Stripes have split! After 13 years of Jack and Meg White aka The White Stripes, they announced on February 2^nd that they are officially disbanding – but putting an emphasis on the fact that ‘it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created’. Nothing is lost! Check out their official statement via their website.

For last weeks SuperBowl, the NFL has returned to edgy pop music again with this year’s halftime act the Black Eyed Peas. They delivered an eye-popping spectacle worthy of the Bowl’s status as most watched Television Event of the Year. Did you happen to watch it?

Oh and have you heard? It seems Britney Spears has decided to retake the title of Pop Queen this year – and we now have the demo of her first single for 2011, Hold It Against Me. You can check it out here.

It’s got a bit more dubstep in than we’re used to with Britney – and the beat really gets heavy in the end. Still – we like the new direction she’s going in.

We’re pretty sure 2011 will hold many surprises when it comes to new music, we’re already off to a great start!

Also just around the corner: the BAFTAS. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is the UK’s leading independent charity working with the film, television and video games industries and yes, they do have their own award.

This year’s celebration of the very best in film will take place on Sunday 13 February at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden and will also be broadcast via BBC 1 and BBC 3.
