Lauryn Hill, Back on Stage

Former Fugee and semi-recluse Lauryn Hill launched her "intimate North American tour" late last month in Boston and then came down to the Big Apple for six nights of packed performances. And wouldn't you know it, videos of her shows are hitting the YouTubes. more ›

MUSIC: Former Fugee Lauryn Hill will be giving a rare performance in Crown Heights tonight. The Grammy winner hasn't put out a new release in nearly a decade! So there's a good chance she'll be playing a lot off of 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Sean Kingston also performs. more ›

Tributes, the Armory, and Acrobatics:  Some Picks from Other Sites

Tributes, the Armory, and Acrobatics: Some Picks from Other Sites

- We're enjoying Central Valley Large Animal Clinic, which covers various NY art goings-on, like the Armory Show, which started yesterday, and upcoming film programs. No mention of large animals, though. Yet.
- whatisee has a movie of Cirque du Soleil's performance at Grand Central. whatisee's report with pictures also notes that Law & Order SVU Medical Examiner portrayer, Tamara Tunie, was on hand to give an intro (and to flub it, apparently). Gothamist has loved Tamara ever since she played Jessica Griffin, the lone black character on As the World Turns, who married Duncan, McKechnie, the Scots millionaire, and had to deal with Lauryn Hill crushing on Duncan. Cirque du Soleil's Allegria will be performed at Randalls Island this May.

Actually, not a bad year for the Grammys

Actually, not a bad year for the Grammys

The Grammys are over and the winners now get to calling themselves "Grammy-winning." Remember, so is Christopher Cross (sorry, Christopher Cross, you're just too tempting a punchline). So is a deserving Lauryn Hill, but where are you these days Lauryn? We need you. Norah Jones was the big winner of the night, winning the most prestigious categories, Record, Song, and Album of the Year. Bruce Springsteen represented, winning three, and the Dixie Chicks, Eminem, and Coldplay all won two. Dixie Chicks co-producer Lloyd Maines looks exactly like daughter and lead singer Natalie Maines. Eminem gave a respectful acceptance speech, thanking the MCs who came before him. Coldplay gave an awesome rendition of "Politik" with the New York Philharmonic. But the best performance was "London Calling," the tribute to the late Joe Strummer, with Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, and Tony Kanal. There was a lot of making up: Mayor Bloomberg welcoming the Grammys back to New York after Giuliani's squabble with then NARAS head, Michael Greene. The Dixie Chicks pointedly thanked Sony after their contentious earlier fight. Of other interest: Jon Pareles on the many categories of the Grammys; more information about writer of Song of the Year, "Come Away with Me," Jesse Harris; and get thoughts of The Onion A.V. Club, one of the best arts sections around, on the best albums of 2001 and 2002, many of them ones that Grammys voters have never heard of. Virginia Heffernan called the night repressed, Ken Tucker mourns that the Boss didn't win more. more ›
