Brent Lang Executive Editor Most people don’t get a text from Bono in the middle of the night. But Jon Kamen, the CEO, chairman and co-founder of RadicalMedia, found himself fighting off jet lag on a recent business trip to Japan as he fielded messages from the U2 frontman. That pair had worked together on the One campaign, the musician’s push to eradicate AIDS and poverty in Africa, and this time Bono needed help launching ticketing for the band’s upcoming residency at Las Vegas’ newly launched venue, the Sphere.
Kamen assured him that there was someone on staff who could help him. “I said, ‘let me call this guy and see if he can come up with something,'” he remembers. “We needed to turn this thing around in ridiculous time.

How did this happen so fast?” Kamen is recounting all of this from his office on Hudson Street in the West Village (that weekend, he’ll head to Sin City to watch U2). RadicalMedia has been headquartered in that section of Manhattan for 30 years, moving there long before it was the apotheosis of hip and cool — which may be why the company can afford such a sprawling space, one that overflows with editing bays, interview rooms and stunning views of the city.
“There were a lot of people who were migrating to the West Coast at the time,” Kamen remembers. “I was a born and bred New Yorker, so I decided to stay. And we were able to build out this place at a time when real estate was

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic For anyone in southern California who had experienced FOMJ (fear of missing Joni) when Brandi Carlile led “Joni jams” with Joni Mitchell last year at the Newport Folk Festival or earlier this year at the Gorge, there was finally an antidote for that. Mitchell was — as hoped — one of the guests at the “Brandi Carlile and Friends” show Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl, singing her classics “Circle Game, “Ladies of the Canyon” and “Shine” along with the full cast of participants gathered around her.

(besides Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift ): court documents have revealed the name of their second daughter.The Game of Thrones star and boy bander have been diligent about keeping their two girls out of the spotlight, which is absolutely their right, but it's simply now a matter of public record, as verified by , that Willa's sister is named…Delphine.Delphine Jonas!That's so cute!It means either “of Delphi” (per ) and/or is derived from the Latin word for dolphin (per ) and in any case, it's both Greek and French.

Game Of Thrones actor filed a petition in Manhattan last Thursday (September 21), claiming the couple’s two daughters had been “wrongfully retained” in “New York City from their habitual residence of England”.According to the petition, Turner had agreed that Jonas would look after their two daughters while on tour with his band The Jonas Brothers in the US in July, due to her filming commitments on a new series in the UK.Turner, who planned to return to England this month with the children, claimed that Jonas however refused to hand over the children’s passports when she attempted to collect them.Jonas’ representative has since disputed various allegations in the filing, including claims that Turner found out about their divorce “through the media” earlier this month.His representative also stated that Turner was “aware” he was going to file for divorce, where the Florida Court issued an order that “restricts both parents from relocating their children”.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Every year at the Americana Honors & Awards program in Nashville, Jim Lauderdale will exclaim, as a running joke, “Now, that’s Americana!” — usually right after someone has given a rousing performance in a style that most people wouldn’t reflexively classify as Americana.

Standing outside the Ryman Auditorium, where the 22nd annual edition of the awards show was about to go down, Brandi Carlile had an answer. And since she is the closest thing to an offical mascot the genre has had since the passing of John Prine, when Carlile talks about Americana, people listen.
