‘I called my mom and I woke her up,’ the G.O.O.D. Music MC tells MTV News of finding out about his nod on tour. By Rob Markman Big Sean Photo: Theo Wargo/ WireImage Big Sean received his first VMA nomination on Wednesday, and hopefully it won’t be his last. In the opening scene of his “My Last” video with Chris Brown, Sean looks into the camera and says, “I feel like my dreams are coming true” — must be because the Detroit rhyme spitter is up for Best New Artist. “Man, I was hype as hell,” the G.O.O.D. Music MC told MTV News. “I called my mom at like midnight. I was in Charlotte [North Carolina] last night when I found out, and I called my mom and I woke her up,” said Sean, who is on tour with fellow Best New Artist nominee Wiz Khalifa. “I cracked a bottle and everything. That was a real big accomplishment.” The competition is tough, with Tyler, the Creator (“Yonkers”), Kreayshawn (“Gucci Gucci”) and indie poppers Foster the People (“Pumped Up Kicks”) also up for the award. Sean obviously wants to win, but just being in the conversation is a win for him. “I, of course, knew it was a possibility, but it’s tight to just see it actually come to fruition,” Sean said of his mind-set back when he filmed the video. “When I was on the set of the video, I was just hoping it comes out good. This is just like an added bonus.” Sean isn’t the only member of his crew nominated: His big homey Kanye West snagged seven nominations, including nods for Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Male Video and Best Collaboration for his “All of the Lights” clip. “He definitely deserves all of them, man, I think so,” Big Sean said. “Especially Best Collaboration. That was just crazy, ‘All of the Lights.’ He had Elton John, everybody on there, Fergie, Alicia Keys, Cudi, everybody, The-Dream.” The Finally Famous lyricist is in full support of his mentor. “Kanye always goes hard. I’m proud of him. I was telling him how proud of him I was the other day. He’s inspiring, he deserves every bit,” he said. “He gives his whole life to music, his whole life. He’s one of the most selfless people I know, so I’m excited. Hopefully, it’s gonna be a good night.” The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

First of four three-day festivals also features the Flaming Lips. By Mary J. DiMeglio Dave Matthews performs at the Caravan festival in Atlantic City on June 24, 2011 Photo: Getty Images ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — For the first stop on its traveling roadshow, the Dave Matthews Band Caravan brought a rootsy collection of friends to dusty Bader Field on Friday. And even after a career-spanning set that included “Don’t Drink the Water,” “Satellite” and “Why I Am,” DMB still have plenty of hits to draw from for the next two headlining performances of their inaugural three-day festival. Matthews gave nods to almost all of the day’s supporting acts, mentioning Delta Spirit, Carolina Chocolate Drops and The Head & The Heart, and saying, “It was a pleasure to share the stage with Ray Lamontagne.” David Ryan Harris, who played Friday afternoon, joined the band for perennial crowd favorite “Jimi Thing” from their 1994 debut, Under the Table and Dreaming. Grammy-winning saxophonist Jeff Coffin proved his chops early, tearing into “You Might Die Trying.” Coffin has played with DMB since LeRoi Moore’s 2008 ATV accident and death. His Mu’tet ensemble was one of the first acts of the day. Also pulling double duty was guitarist Tim Reynolds, first appearing in the afternoon with TR3. Reynolds will also join Matthews for an acoustic set Saturday afternoon (June 25). A memorable aspect of any DMB show is the quirky frontman’s non sequiturs, and Friday night was no exception. Matthews shared these gems: “Facial hair is so transformative” and “Too much morphine will make you constipated,” after debuting a version of “Buena” by ’90s alt-rockers Morphine. Matthews unleashed his impressive wail on “Grey Street,” and the show took a romantic turn when the band followed “Crash” with “You and Me” and “Shake Me Like A Monkey.” Returning from a break, Matthews warned, “I think we might f— it up, but we’re gonna try anyway,” before his acoustic adaptation of Procol Harum’s 1967 classic “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” Another cover closed out the set, as the band stunned the audience by playing Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times Bad Times” for the first time ever in concert. Though not exactly channeling Robert Plant, Matthews did sound oddly unlike himself on the vocals, in a rendition highlighted by a deft guitar solo. And though, rather than returning for a second encore, the band ended 30 minutes shy of their scheduled 11 p.m. ending time, most in the audience, anticipating another two long days capped by three-hour DMB sets, seemed relieved to be shuffling off the grounds. Previously that evening, the Flaming Lips proved it’s never too early for them to bring the weird. Flanked by sunglass-wearing, bopping Dorothys, Scarecrows, Tin Men and Cowardly Lions, they shared their ultra-psychedelic take on Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon , playing the album in its entirety, interspersed with choice selections from “The Wizard of Oz.” Those looking for something lighter found instrumental jam band Lotus keeping it groovy as the sun set. An ocean breeze brought welcome relief from the hot and humid day as seagulls cruised overhead. O.A.R., Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and Thievery Corporation join the caravan Saturday, while Sunday’s festivities will feature David Gray, Dr. Dog, Bassnectar and Michael Franti with Spearhead. The party travels to Chicago in July, returns to the East Coast in August for a weekend at New York’s Governors Island and wraps up at The Gorge in Washington in early September.
