The Super Bowl Halftime Show & Grammys Have Never Won Top Emmy for Variety Programs: Could This Be the Year?
The Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl Halftime Show have a few things in common. Both, of course, have been fixtures on network television for decades, but neither has even won the top Emmy Award for variety programming — an award currently called outstanding variety special (live). Both shows are nominated in that category again this year. Will one of these shows finally prevail this year? Quite possibly. Each received five Emmy nominations this year, which is more than the other three nominees in this category — The Oscars (which received three nods), The Tony Awards Present: Broadway’s Back! (which received two) and Live In Front Of a Studio Audience: The Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes (which also received two). The Grammys became a live telecast in March 1971, but they assumed a hi...

SPIN First Drop: Visionaries – Jesse Flemming, Co-Founder of Do LaB & Lightning in a Bottle
Our latest SPIN First Drop: Visionaries Edition showcases Do LaB and Lightning in a Bottle co-founder, Jesse Flemming. In 2006, the Do LaB crew pitched an art installation project to the folks at Coachella.

After the festival shut down each night, Do LaB just kept going, and that became the birth of what would become the official Do LaB stage at Coachella. …and they never looked back.
