Grammys 2013, Dine Alone: Canadian Indie Label Explodes With Lumineers, Civil Wars

2013-02-09 23:27:00 (читать в оригинале)

Filed under: News, Exclusive, Music Appreciation

Back in December, when the list of 2013 Grammy Awards nominees dropped, some of Canada's biggest exports were absent from the list.

While some Canadians complained that Nickelback, Feist, and 18-year-old pop prodigy (and purported pot aficionado) Justin Bieber were snubbed, the folks at Toronto-based indie label Dine Alone Records were doing a happy dance.

That's because the Canadian indie label has three artists vying for a total of five awards at the Grammys -- the Civil Wars (best song written for visual media, best country duo/group performance,) the Lumineers (best Americana album, best new artist) and Marilyn Manson (best hard rock/metal performance).

Anyone with "e;Grammy-winning artist"e; in their bio is bound to have an edge. The music industry's ultimate award, after all, affords prestige and opens doors.

Yet, since the industry began handing out the golden gramophone trophies in 1959, artists have kept them in a variety of places. While Alicia Keys recently told reporters she kept her Grammys in a box because she didn't want to flaunt them, Sting once said he kept his in a bathroom because he knew people would see them there.

With this year's Grammy Awards ceremony upon us, we asked several past winners what they do with their trophies.

HENRY ROLLINS

Backstage at the 1995 Grammy Awards ceremony, the former Black Flag frontman was a hit with the media. Casually dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, Rollins -- nominated for Best Metal Performance and winner of Best Spoken Word Recording -- said his plans for the rest of the night entailed sleeping on a futon with his cat.

We already knew plans were in the works for an Atoms For Peace debut album and tour dates, but the details have been a bit fuzzy -- until today. Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich will play a series of live DJ sets dressed up album launch parties to introduce Amok to London, Berlin, and New York in the coming months. [Consequence of Sound]

Devendra Banhart has premiered a new track from his upcoming album, Mala, on Venezuelan music blog Cochinopop. The Spanish-language acoustic ballad is an emotionally straightforward effort, reminiscent of the oft-bearded Venezuelan-American singer/songwriter's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon (2007). Banhart's reprise of his sound circa-Natalie Portman is refreshing, especially considering his recent penchant for (NSFW) graphic music videos. [Nonesuch]

The first season of "e;The X Factor"e; surprised a lot of us in the rock realm. Just because you're a contestant on a reality singing competition doesn't mean you can't be a good songwriter.

Enter Josh Krajcik. He was trying to make ends meet in Ohio, supporting his musical habit while burrito building. Then he landed a spot on Fox's hit show. That's when America got to hear a familiar type of modern acoustic soul -- a sound that Krajcik is pretty darn good at.
