Drake as Lil Wayne as Steve Urkel
The first Saturday Night Live episode of 2014 aired last night (1/18) with Drake as the host and musical guest. He acted in most of the sketches, including "Hip Hop Classics Before They Were Stars" where he impersonated Lil Wayne as Steve Urkel on "Family Matters" and Jay Z on "Mr. Wizard." That same sketch also had Kenan Thompson playing Rick Ross as the red Teletubby. Drake also did a sketch re-enacting his Bar Mitzvah and "Resolution Revolution" where he rapped about (and then broke) new year's resolutions to stop drinking and smoking, and then did Cosplay dressed as a wizard for the "no more Cosplay" resolution. He was in a few other sketches too, including impersonations of A-Rod and Katt Williams, all of which can be watched in the full episode video below.
For Drake's musical performance, he did "Started From the Bottom" into "Trophies" and a stripped down version of "Hold On We're Going Home" into "From Time," the latter of which featured an appearance by Jhene Aiko who also sings on the album version of the song and sang with him at his recent Barclays Center show. Videos of those performances are below too.
In addition to all the Drake stuff, the episode also marked the debut of new cast member Sasheer Zamata, SNL's first African American female cast member since 2007, when Maya Rudolph left the show. It was also the first episode that SNL's two new female African American writers, LaKendra Tookes and Leslie Jones, contributed to.

Nas and Rick Ross
Legendary Queens rapper Nas has been making some live appearances this year like Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, and Citi Field, and now he's got what appears to be a one-off happening on November 1 at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT. Tickets for this rap show in a casino go on sale Friday (9/20) at 9 AM, and are currently on presale.
Another rapper playing that venue is Rick Ross (who also played Gramercy last night [9/17]) on November 16 (tix go on AEG presale Thursday [9/19] at 10 AM). It's part of his tour which also includes a NYC happening at another slightly unconventional venue for hip hop, Beacon Theatre on November 15. This isn't the first rap show to happen at Beacon Theatre but it's nevertheless a left turn from Beacon's usual bookings. TIckets for that show go on sale Friday (9/20) at 11 AM and Internet/VIP Experience presales begin Thursday (9/19) at 11 AM (password: "HUSTLIN"). All tour dates are listed below.
The previously discussed Kid Cudi/Big Sean tour also hits the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino on 9/29 (tickets).
Both Nas and Rick Ross appear on the new Jay Z album Magna Carta Holy Grail, which he's supporting on a tour that hits NYC in January at Barclays Center, which Jay Z is selling his stake in.
All Rick Ross dates are listed below...

Though the attention being paid to futuristic R&B has been more prevalent than ever in the past two years, it's also been interesting to look back on the ways the sound did exist in years prior. And even more exciting to see some of those artists making comebacks. Miguel's Kaleidoscope Dream was one of last year's better albums, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't tempt me to dust off my copy of FutureSex/LoveSounds. And only a few months after doing that? Boom: The 20/20 Experience. Another thing I went back to last year was Cassie's only album -- her 2006 self titled debut -- specifically it's opening track/huge hit, "Me & U." The thick bass and airy vocals of that track are way more similar to the post-Weeknd world of R&B than I remembered, and it more than holds up.
Cassie had been dropping some singles here and there since her '06 album, but almost seven years later, there was still no sign of another full length release. However, like JT did in March, Cassie ended her lengthy absence last week with the release of her free mixtape, RockaByeBaby. It might be "just a mixtape" (whatever that really means at this point anyway), but RockaByeBaby serves as a worthy followup to Cassie, and as a whole release, it might even be better. The album is stacked with guest appearances (Jeremih, Pusha T, Fabolous, Meek Mill, Too $hort, and others) and the producers are no slackers here either (Mike Will Made It, Young Chop, and more), but it's not over-saturated with guests. Even the verses from some of the weaker rappers (Wiz Khalifa) work pretty well here. And some of the samples used are noticeably big songs (Kendrick Lamar's "m.A.A.d City," Tyga's "Do My Dance"), which can be a turnoff, but she uses them well.
Overall, the thing really feels like an album. Too often with mixtapes I find myself filtering through 20-something songs for the 10 good ones, but RockaByeBaby has no fat to trim. Its 13 tracks (12, not including the intro) clock in at 37 minutes, and they're all strong. The collaboration with Jeremih, "Sound of Love," is an early standout, with both singers bouncing off of each other really nicely. A little surprisingly, Fabolous' guest verse on "I Love It" is actually one of the most memorable moments of the album. And the chorus of "Paradise" (with its "pair of dice" pun) is one you'll find yourself humming after the album ends.

Former Corrections Officer turned Drug Rapper Rick Ross
If there was a prize for the creepiest lyrics of 2013, hip hop mega-star Rick Ross may be the winner. His rhyme on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." goes like this:
Put molly all in her champagnePredictably, Ross is in damage control mode, issuing the following statement to Funkmaster Flex (copied verbatim):
She ain't even know it
I took her home and I enjoyed that
She ain't even know it
I know I'm a man, but I respect Women to the utmost, And Things like Date Rape shouldn't be glorified...with that being said, I don't think taking Rap lyrics as straight facts is ever the way to go. I mean that is really setting a president we do NOT want to set, then every rapper could be indicted for Drug dealing, Murder, etc, etc. Hip Hop is Art, and we have to look at it as art. Yes We want to see these artists as the realest people ever, but they are the Voice we want to hear when we want to know what's going on out there, and in reality some people Do these things, And Shouldn't it be brought to light so young Women can protect themselves?!?! This Is actually really good the conversation is going...Ross has actually helped to protect Our Women from the Creeps that would hurt them!!!!
Head below to hear the lyrics in question, and skip ahead to 2:10 if you prefer.

Clutch is streaming a new song at NPR from their forthcoming LP Earth Rocker. If you missed it, check out our interview with guitarist Tim Sult.
Hip hop producer Hit-Boy ("Niggas in Paris," "Clique," "Backseat Freestyle," "Goldie") is releasing a compilation, All I've Ever Dreamed Of, this week (3/12) and he just revealed a track from it, "Cypher," which features a zillion rappers (Schoolboy Q, Casey Veggies, Xzibit, Rick Ross, Method Man, Red Man, Raekown, and more).

Today Pitchfork posted the first half (well, first 30 albums) of their Top 50 Albums of 2012 list. There are some surprises on it, like Peaking Lights and Sharon Van Etten, who seemed more likely to end up on their Honorable Mentions list due to their relatively lower scores and the fact that most of the albums on this list were awarded Best New Music throughout the year. Cat Power and Hot Chip also make it, both of whose new albums seemed to have received less love from Pitchfork than previous releases by those artists. A Rustie Essential Mix also makes the list even though his actual album which came out last year didn't make their 2011 list. And of course the expected ones end up there too like Purity Ring, Julia Holter, Schoolboy Q, Miguel, and more. The remaining 20 will be revealed tomorrow (Friday, 12/21).
Check out their 50-30 picks below...

Pitchfork just posted their much anticipated list of the top 100 tracks of 2012. The #1 slot went to... Grimes! Whether you thought the whole of her album Visions was good or not, it was hard to deny the charms of "Oblivion." (Having that great video didn't hurt either.) Do you think it deserved to top the list? If not then what song should've?

More of the big 2012 year-end lists have been rolling in, with NPR and SPIN recently revealing theirs, and now Rolling Stone have unleashed theirs. Similarly to Uncut, the expected albums from older artists are there, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, and the number one slot going to Bruuuuuuuuuuuce. It's got huge albums like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, and fun., as well as the token high ranking indie album (Japandroids at #9), the token washed up band who was once classic (Green Day), things you knew you'd see on Rolling Stone's list like Jack White and Alabama Shakes, and... Grimes!

Rick Ross at Fader Fort, Austin 2012 (more by Angelina Castillo)
Tension exploded between Rick Ross' MMG crew, Young Jeezy's camp and G-unit in Atlanta this weekend.The BET Awards took place at the Atlanta Civic Center where, in front of the cameras, both Rick Ross and Young Jeezy's individual sets went off without a hitch, along with a tribute to the revered Chris Lighty (RIP) that featured A Tribe Called Quest, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe and 50 Cent (the latter two have well documented beef). Check out some video of the Rick Ross/Young Jeezy scuffle (including a broken mirror... bad luck, guys!) courtesy of TMZ below.During Saturday's (September 29) taping for BET's 2012 Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, Rozay and the Snowman reportedly got into a shoving match backstage before the scuffle spilled outside into the parking lot. Shots were fired and at least one man was said to be arrested.
That's not all. Multiple sources who witnessed the fray confirmed to MTV News that Ross' protégé Gunplay was also involved in fisticuffs with members of 50 Cent's G-Unit camp. Gun was seen with visible wounds and a witness told us that the Miami MC was put into handcuffs and detained, but a separate source close to Gunplay told us that he was not arrested. -[MTV News]

Jay-Z & Kanye / Passion Pit / D'Angelo at Made in America 9/2/2012
Closing out the first day of Made in America was rap legend and festival organizer Jay-Z's behemoth set. "Allow me to re-introduce myself," Jay rapped as he entered the stage, a screaming crowd of thousands joining him in every word and making clear that no introductions were necessary. Breaking the day's tradition of rappers surrounded by hype men, Jay-Z struck a dramatic pose alone on stage.Jay-Z's inaugural Made in America Festival happened Labor Day Weekend in Philadelphia and the first day (9/2) featured a wide variety of acts, including Janelle Monae, Passion Pit, Rick Ross, Dirty Projectors (who have a show coming up at Carnegie Hall) and J himself (and a few of his friends). More pictures from Sunday are below, along with Jay-Z's setlist...His set's first surprise was a video from President Obama, who voiced his support of Made in America's patriotic vision and urged concertgoers to register to vote, a call to action greeted with cheers.
Backed by a live band and celebrating his recent NBA partnership by sporting a Brooklyn Nets hat, Jay-Z flew through a sampler of his most beloved hits, from early hit Izzo (H.O.V.A.) to crowd favorite Big Pimpin. He gave plenty of love to his new material as well, performing an ode to his hometown of New York City with a euphoric rendition of Empire State of Mind and leading the crowd in singing Run This Town, before playing the hard-driving On to the Next One...
...Jay-Z's turn at Made In America wasn't complete without a few high-profile guests. As the show neared its end, Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music posse stormed the stage. West, joined by Pusha T, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Common, showcased new tracks Mercy and New God Flow with his crew before splitting off to perform several songs solo. With the crowd in near pandemonium, Jay and Ye closed the night with collaboration N----- in Paris.- [USA Today]
Gary Clark Jr. at Coachella 2012 (more by David Andrako)
As mentioned, Philly's Made In America Festival goes down this weekend (9/1 - 9/2) on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Since we last spoke, the lineup was expanded and now includes Drake (who was rumored but not on the initial lineup announcement), Jill Scott, Chris Cornell, The Hives, and Run DMC, who are all playing the second day (9/2), in addition to blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr., who will be on the only performer on the bill playing both days, and others. Day 1 (9/1) will be headlined by festival head Jay-Z, and also includes Skrillex, Passion Pit, D'Angelo, Dirty Projectors, Janelle Monae, and others, and day 2 (9/2) will be headlined by Pearl Jam and also includes Odd Future, X, Santigold, and others. Tickets for the festival are still available.
If you're going to the fest, Philly is only about a two hour drive from NYC and this FAQ should help you find your way over (for directions use the address of Ben Franklin Parkway at Eakins Oval in Philadelphia or the Philadelphia Museum of Art). Once you're there, that FAQ will also help you find your way around, parking tips, and more. There will be a free filtered water service at the festival site, but you can't bring glowsticks (sorry Skrillex fans).
A #MadeInAmerica video for Gary Clark Jr. and the lineup for the festival are below.

Azealia Banks at Coachella 2012 (more by David Andrako)
Azealia Banks, who recently canceled a bunch of summer shows due to "recording commitments," has now added more shows to her summer schedule. Most of those are in Europe, but she was just added to the Hot 97 Summer Jam lineup which goes down in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium on June 3. The rest of the lineup includes Nicki MInaj, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka Flame, Young Jeezy, J. Cole, Wale, and more. Tickets for the fest are available. The full lineup is listed below.
UPDATE: She actually plays the Summer Jam pre-show in the parking lot with the even more impressive lineup of Pusha T, Big K.R.I.T., A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and Fred the Godson. Your Summer Jam ticket gets you into the pre-show.
In addition to her fickle live schedule, Azealia Banks continues to move around her schedule of releases as well. As of right now, she's planning to get her delayed 1991 EP out on May 29 digitally and June 12 physically via Interscope. The cover art for that EP is below. She'll follow it with the Fantastic mixtape, which is due out on July 4, and includes her recently dropped track, "Jumanji," which was produced by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook. Grab that track above or stream it below. Finally, her debut full length, Broke With Expensive Taste, which is presumably the album she's been working on with Paul Epworth, is due out in September.
In other news, fresh off her feud with Iggy Azalea (who plays SOBs TONIGHT [5/17]), she's taken a stab at Lil Kim, who refused to collaborate with Azealia because Lil Kim wanted to write her own verse. Azealia had written it for her and insisted, "Everybody knows Lil Kim doesn't write her own raps." We already know that Kim's got beef with Nicki Minaj. Azealia, however, seems down with Nicki and would possibly collaborate with her, but thinks she should ditch the "ugly wigs and ugly costumes." Maybe they'll meet up when they both play Summer Jam next month. On the other hand, Azealia Banks has collaborated with Missy Elliot and Rye Rye on a remix of M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls." Look for that soon.
A list of all dates, Hot 97 Summer Jam lineup, 1991 cover art, and the "Jumanji" stream are below...

pics from the Vice party in a bank (Death From Above 1979, Rick Ross, Anamanaguchi, Tanlines & more)
photos by Ryan Muir, words by Andrew Frisicano
Rick Ross / DFA1979
One Hanson Place, the cavernous ground-floor space of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, served as the venue for a free-if-you-could-get-in Vice-sponsored concert on Thursday. As expected, the Weeknd didn't appear (he canceled the week before). Instead, the main attractions were Rick Ross, Death From Above 1979, a half dozen other bands, free beer and liquor and the Art Deco interior itself. A second stage in the basement--located inside a room-sized vault, with giant metallic doors at its entrance--featured acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Anamanaguchi, Hanni El Khatib, Total Slacker and the Men. A-Trak was supposed to play, but cancelled after the sudden passing of his friend DJ Mehdi.
Tanlines kicked off the upstairs with songs that were aided by the high-vaulted ceilings and the reverb-heavy acoustics. Death from Above 1979 didn't fare as well; their songs already sound blown out and distorted on record, and the live show sacrifices any remaining fidelity for raw power. That said, both Sebastien Grainger and Jesse Keeler--one in white, one in black--put on spirited performances, thrashing around, with Sebastien at one point crawling along the bank teller windows into the crowd.
Rick Ross took the stage around 1am, after a brief intro set from Maybach Music Group rapper Stalley. The boss's set of about 35 minutes sped through songs that included "John," "9 Piece," "Hustin", "BMF", "MC Hammer," DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" and "I'm On One," Waka's "O Let's Do It," and "Tupac Back" and "Ima Boss" (both Meek Mill's songs I think technically), at least for a chorus or two. Directly in front of the stage, where Ross' verses and exhortations were crystal clear, you could really get a sense of his imposing presence (DJ seemed genuinely afraid after starting one song too soon) and his ability to queue up any tune and make it totally his.
The amount of people upstairs was comfortable and not-overpacked; the downstairs, then, could be described as sadly under-attended. Unknown Mortal Orchestra had the benefit of playing before the main-stage acts started and sounded great. Hanni El Khatib, who played as a two-piece, shuffled out grungy, Americana-influenced rock, but to an audience of only about 50. One of the most pleasant surprise for me was Anamanaguchi, who I haven't seen in a few years. The quartet has molded themselves into an impressive instrumental outfit--with their NES as a less-dominant member--as they navigated their songs' post-rock-inspired swoops and climaxes with skill.
The Men closed the night with a post-2am set for the stragglers that hadn't yet succumbed to the hazards of the open bar. On my way downstairs I passed a handful of people doubled over, getting carried out by the EMTs. Downstairs wasn't much safer: at one point, a mic stand went flying into the crowd landing squarely on someone's head (hope you're alright dude).

Lupe Fiasco is currently in Australia as part of the Big Day Out Festival, touring with names like Iggy Pop, Deftones, Grinderman, and countless others. After returning back to the states, he'll get ready to welcome his new LP Lasers into this world, due on March 8th. The Chicago MC will celebrate the release with a date at Webster Hall the night before it hits the streets and tickets go on sale at noon today (1/28). Lupe recently released the first single from the LP, the Modest Mouse-sampling "The Show Must Go On" via iTunes.
Tickets also go on sale at noon for Rick Ross at Best Buy Theater on March 4th, and fortunately if you can't make that show you can make it out to see him support Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj at Nassau Coliseum on March 27th as part of the I Am Music II tour. Ticket info for that show hasn't been released yet. All dates below.
Those of you who want to see Lil Wayne but might prefer to see him in a much (much) different setting than the third of three hip hop acts (instead with Motley Crue, Waka Flocka Flame, Insane Clown Posse & Bruno Mars?) can catch the recently freed MC at Bamboozle 2011 in New Jersey. Tickets are still available for the festival in multi-day, and single day pass increments.
And lets say, for some godforsaken reason you felt like a double dose of Insane Clown Posse.... that can be arranged. Insane Clown Posse has taken time off of their busy wrestling schedule to shower New York City with Faygo on April 29th at Gramercy Theater. Tickets are still available all of you Juggalos and Juggalettes!
Full Bamboozle lineup and all Lil Wayne tour dates are below.

Nicki Minaj & Kanye West @ Bowery Ballroom (photo by Questlove)
Kanye West played his entire new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy from start to finish, followed by a four song encore Tuesday night at the intimate Bowery Ballroom in NYC where Kanye literally brought in "all of the lights" (there were lots of lights). The show started with people who weren't Diddy (he walked right in) waiting on a long line. The show ended with Kanye going on a rant about racism, George Bush, Taylor Swift, the Today Show, etc. Audio of that final portion can be streamed below.
Album guest stars Kid Cudi, Raekwon, Jay-Z and RZA were nowhere to be found, but Terena Taylor, Bon Iver aka Justin Vernon (who might appear again with Kanye in the Thanksgiving Day Parade), Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj (who plays Hammerstein Ballroom on Thanksgiving), Pusha T, Prynce Cy Hi, Swizz Beatz, and John Legend (whose friend Questlove was in the balcony taking pictures) all performed at the show that started around 12:40am and was was over by around 2:15. Full setlist, videos and that audio below...
"...On Monday West, who is 33, will release his fifth album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam), and it's terrific -- of course it's terrific -- a startlingly maximalist take on East Coast rap traditionalism. And yet that doesn't matter nearly as much as it should, at least partly because of West's insistence on his own greatness. By not allowing for responses to his work other than awe, the value of the work itself is diminished; it becomes an object of admiration, not of study. Instead the focus is on the whole of West's persona and character, which is more fractured and subject to a far wider range of responses. The result is that West becomes a polarizing public figure who happens to be the most artful pop musician of the day, not the other way around."Runaway" video below...Nevertheless, West seems virtually incapable of making a bad record. He's committed to pop, and he's savvy and talented enough to make it great, every time. What's more, for him to make something other than a universally accepted smash would be a thing that his ego couldn't bear. Every Kanye West album, until the cancer of the world around him begins to encroach on the parts of his cerebral cortex that control his musical ear, will be excellent and huge. He'll never have an idiosyncratic period.
Even at his most extreme, West isn't an experimenter. His music is ornate, ostentatious, curious and vivacious. But risky? No. All of his fiddling is within recognized formulas. A producer as well as a rapper, West controls all of the major elements of his songs, unlike other artists who have to rely on their taste (or their record label's taste) in outside producers or songwriters.
To work on this album he retreated to Hawaii, as he did during the making of his previous album. And West's gravitational pull is such that he can import talent. Rick Ross, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Nicki Minaj -- they all made the trip to make music that will appear on the album. The spooky indie folky Justin Vernon from Bon Iver spoke of smoking marijuana with Rick Ross on one of his three sojourns to Hawaii to work with West, about as surreal a tableau as has been created in the making of any pop album this year." [JON CARAMANICA, Sunday New York Times]

Freddie Gibbs is the Str8 Killa (and a straight blunt killa, but more on that in a sec) and he celebrated his new EP with a show featuring the great Black Milk, Gotham Green, Push! Montana, Tony Touch, DJ Spinna and others last night at SOB's. Check out some videos from the event below.
In other Gibbs related news, odds are you won't see the MC at the upcoming Rick Ross / Diddy shindig at Governor's Island:
Complex: Switching topics: One of the hottest rappers right now is Rick Ross. One of your recent tweets read: "Who are you? Rick Ross, Big Meech or Larry Hoover? the rap game is like halloween every day?"Ouchie. He goes on to speak on Diddy, Khaled, and many others in the same interview.Freddie Gibbs: [Laughs.] That's real, man. That dude makes good records, but I just can't support no bold-faced lying on records. I guess he's entertaining people. It's like a movie, like Scarface. He can have that fake lane. I'll stay in the real lane. We got a non-fiction lane of rap, that's how I'm looking at it now. So you got that fiction lane over there where they're doing all them. I do the non-fiction, the autobiography, the real shit. It's all good.... I mean you can't really trip on him yelling names out. This the same dude that told you he knew Noriega when he first came out, so...
As you can see above, Jim Jones was spotted at the Freddie Gibbs/Black Milk shindig. Jones's reunited partner in rhyme (dipset all day, as the kids say) Cam'ron will headline the Funkmaster Flex birthday party next Wednesday (8/11) at BB King's. Look for Killa Cam to perform alongside a team Ja Rule, Capone & Noreaga, Group Home (who just played Brooklyn Hip Hop Fest) and DJ Premier (him too). Tickets are on sale, yuhnahmean? Dig on the remix for "Salute" from Jim Jones's upcoming LP The Capo (9/28 via E1) featuring Juelz Santana, Vado, and Cam'ron above.

Would you confuse these two men?
California ex-drug kingpin Ricky "Freeway" Ross filed a trademark lawsuit against rapper Rick Ross in a California Federal Court on Friday June 18. According to the Miami New Times blog, Ross is suing the rapper for stealing his name, image and likeness to create a successful rap career. ...Ross and his lawyer Melvin Sharpe Jr. are also suing Maybach Music -- rapper Rick Ross' label -- Universal Music Group Recordings, Slip-N-Slide Records -- the independent label the rapper first signed to before signing to a major -- and Jay-Z, who was President of Def Jam Records when rapper Rick Ross signed to the label in 2006. - [Billboard]
Maybe "Freeway" Ricky Ross is trying to get at the dough that the Miami MC will make at the Power 105.1 show at The Beach at Governor's Island on August 22nd. There, the former prison guard (named after a drug dealer?) will join up with Diddy & Dirty Money, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, Bobby Valentino, Fat Joe, Maino, and others. Tickets are on sale at noon today (7/2).
Also on board is Jay-Z prodigy J Cole, who recently released a new video for "Who Dat" available below. The MC will drop his as-yet untitled Roc Nation debut this October, which features contributions from Pharrell, Jim Jonsin, and Salaam Remi though the bulk of the production was handled by Chicago producer (and Kanye West mentor) No I.D.. Look for that.
That J Cole video, as well as a few others are below...

Indie darlings Matt & Kim kicked off the show -- which celebrates the year's best music as determined by MTVu's college-centric audience -- with an energetic performance of their breakout single "Lessons Learned." Later, the duo returned to accept their Best Video Woodie award.Cyndi presented an award with Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester who also recently made an appearance at the Weezer (and Matt & Kim) show on Halloween that was sponsored by RXP aka the Matt Pinfield station. Matt was also at the Woodies as was Diplo who was DJing and David Cross, Zooey Deschanel, Janelle Monae, Dave 1 from Chromeo, and Mary Louise Parker. Matt and Kim didn't get naked like they do in their winning video (their second MTV win for that video), but their backup singers did strip down to their underwear."We've had one heck of a year," said Matt Johnson, before counterpart Kim Schifino leapt into the crowd.
Additional performers included veteran alt-rockers Death Cab for Cutie, who rocked the audience with its "New Moon" soundtrack single "Meet Me on the Equinox," as well as Passion Pit, the Dead Weather and Clipse, who were joined onstage by fellow rappers Cam'ron and Rick Ross.
Presenter highlights came from Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and pop prankserts 3OH!3. Wentz rolled onto the stage holding a red Solo cup, while 3OH!3 gave a nod to Lady Gaga by dressing in her various VMA outfits. Asher Roth, will.i.am, and surprise guest Cyndi Lauper also presented awards. [Billboard]
The Dead Weather also played a show one day before the Woodies in Brooklyn. The Woodies air December 4th at 10pm. More pictures from the event (11/18 at Roseland Ballroom in NYC), below...

Oakland's Beer Revolution opening a veg eatery next door?! »
SUCH VERY EXCITING NEWS. We love Beer Revolution because we love beer and sitting outside in the sun and drinking beer while sitting outside in the sun, and so we were VERY EXCITED when we heard that they're opening an all-veg eatery next door.
All the info we could gather from our thorough investigation (phone call) is that It's going to be called Old Depot Public House, they'll serve "European food," and it'll open sometime in the early fall. Obviously, you can now enjoy Beer Revolution with a side of next-door's tasty Souley Vegan, but now you can enjoy appetizers at Souley Vegan and then move to Old Depot Public House< for main course and then back to Souley Vegan for dessert and then back to Old Depot Public House for second dessert. If this sounds like too much eating to you then you're not a real vegan and need to rethink your priorities in ALL of your life, and maybe just jump off the Bay Bridge jk jk be cool.
Man, Oakland, you are really, truly the BEST lately—you know that, right? Yeah, you do. Come here, Oakland. (I'm making out with Oakland, you can go now.)

So, you guys, a new beer store/drinking place/garden/awesome place to chill, Beer Revolution, has opened right next to AMAZING RESTAURANT OF DELICIOUNESS Souley Vegan. Best part? Beer Revolution has a crazy awesome beer selection featuring a million and one unusual brews (okay, 14 kegs, plus a selection of bottled beers that makes City Beer Store look all amateur hour OH SNAP).
PLUS DUDE, Souley Vegan will deliver your food to you while you're sitting in the delightful sun of Beer Revolution's outside beer garden. You can even bring your dog! Dogs are the best!
If there was ever an argument for East Bay livin', this is it. Well, that and the rents, the sunshine, the winning attitudes of the inhabitants, and the fact that the streets are made of gold. Seriously, San Francisco SUCKS. If only I weren't so lazy, I would totally move. Getting out of bed is hard enough, can you imagine moving across the Bay??? Thinking about it has given me a stress headache THANKS FOR NOTHING, DREAMS.

New Jersey is considering changing the requirements to be a teacher in the Garden State.
A proposal would require prospective teachers to have at least a "B" average in college before they get certified.
Right now, teachers need a 2.75, which is a C+.
Critics say the change could weed out some would-be teachers who come from other professions.
Pennsylvania and Delaware already require a "B" average to teach.

Spelling counts for the Detroit mayor write-in candidates
There are 14 names on the ballot for Detroit mayor, but one of the widely-seen front-runners doesn't even have his name on it. That would be former Detroit Medical Center CEO Mike Duggan. Duggan is running a write-in campaign.
But, in the final weeks of the campaign, another man, a barber in Detroit, decided he too would run a write-in campaign for Mayor. His name is Mike Dugeon.
So, this is an election where spelling counts.
Rick Pluta, Lansing Bureau Chief for the Michigan Public Radio Network, joined us today to talk about these write-in candidates.
Listen to the full interview above.

Dry bulk market posts first rebound in a week
Friday, 24 February 2012 | 00:00
As was expected since mid-week, the dry bulk market's benchmark, the BDI (Baltic Dry Index) has managed to put a stop in a 6-day losing rally, ending yesterday's session up by 0.28% at 706 points. Still, it was the Panamax market's dreadful state that prevented the market from recovering even more, as the respective BPI (Baltic Panamax Index) was down by 2.53%, offsetting the rest of the market. Capesizes were up by 0.75% yesterday to 1,471 points, while Supras and Handies were also trading on a higher note, ending the session with gains of 0.94% and 1.03% respectively.
In any case the market is hugely depressed as a result of tonnage oversupply. In a recent research note, Mr. George Lazaridis of shipbroker Intermodal noted that "in the beginning of 2011, we had around 1,447 vessels scheduled for delivery plus another 111 vessels which were originally scheduled for 2010 and had been delayed and rescheduled to be delivered in 2011. Of these, only 1,007 were eventually delivered, while 403 were rescheduled for a later delivery date and 148 were cancelled. In terms of the original orders, this is a cancellation rate of close to 10% and a slippage rate of more than 25%" said Mr. Lazaridis in an effort to shed some light on the dry bulk market's most pressing issue.
He went on by stating that "for 2012 things look a lot grimmer, with over 1,714 vessels now scheduled for delivery this year of which 403 of these are vessels that were originally planned for a 2011 delivery. Taking a case where we would see similar percentage of cancellations and slippages, the total number of deliveries could still reach as high as 1,115 vessels. However, even this is likely to be too high of an estimate as we are facing a lot more problems in the market then we were a year back" Mr. Lazaridis said.
According to his note, "the charter market has deteriorated considerably compared to the levels seen during the same period last year. What is more, is that the charter market has been generally in trouble for some time now, which means that owners have more than once had to reach into their pocket in order to keep their vessels' operations running smoothly. This means that many have been left with minimal excess cash and would look more favorably at the option of delaying their newbuilding orderbook and as such delaying the payment schedules as well. At the same time sourcing finance for shipping assets has only gotten worse, and it is expected that quite a significant portion of the orderbook has not managed to secure financial backing, in effect further decreasing the possibility that these vessels will be built. All in all we could end up seeing less than 60% of the scheduled deliveries actually hitting the water within this year, which although a still considerable number in terms of active fleet growth is still more manageable and would leave prospects of a quicker market recovery" concluded Intermodal's analyst.
In another market analysis, CARE Research said that it expects the shipping volumes in the dry bulk segment to continue to remain driven by the Chinese demand for coal and iron-ore. In addition, the Japanese import demand for coal and iron ore for the nation's re-building efforts post the natural disasters is expected to propel the dry bulk trading volumes. However, with the dry bulk vessel deliveries as a % of existing fleet expected to average 25.5% and 6.8% for CY12 & CY13, the additions to the already excess capacity of dry bulk fleet is expected to affect the freight rates. Correspondingly, CARE Research expects the BDI is to remain range-bound ranging from 1,500- 3,000 levels during CY12 & CY13.
Adding further to to the worsening situation of declining trading volumes and over-capacity of existing vessels, CARE Research expects the global fleet size to surge from 1,030.7 million GT as on December 31, 2011 to 1,200.8 million GT as on December 31, 2013 implying a CAGR of 7.9%. This in turn would affect the utilisation rates of vessels ultimately resulting in decline of freight rates. CARE Research expects the said growth in fleet size to be primarily driven by the orders in the dry bulk segment accounting for 35.5% of the total dry bulk fleet size as on November 30, 2011.

I finally read the issue, but only after re-reading the first three. The only thing I did not like about the mini was the fact that it was just 4 issues long. Though the hint that a sequel could be in the works is a nice thought.
Pull: Avengers, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Captain America, Superior Spider-Man, Superior S.M.T.U, Ultimate Universe, Chew, Invincible, Batman & Smallville.
Unfortunately we don't have control over the length in some cases. Glad you liked it--4 issues forces an economy of storytelling.
Finally made it to my LCS and holy God, this was a good finale. Loved this mini more than I've loved Ultimate anything since Ultimates 2. So good. I really, really hope this gets turned into an ongoing. Also, I agree with whoever said Ultimates should always be a mini. I'd definitely be okay with an Edmonson UC:IM in place of Ultimates as an ongoing. Would love to see more Mandarin and maybe some other Iron Man villain ultimizations.
I'm not Captain America, but I wish I was.
Thanks Codah! Feel free to let Marvel and twitter know!
Glad you enjoyed.
Just for the fun of it, let's play "what villains do we want to see?"
Number 1 choice would probably be Radioactive Man. I could see some really interesting espionagey stuff with that. He could sort of be a bad version of Stark. What Stark could have been without his father's guidance and the freedom to prosper. Also, Fin Fang Foom. Which, I would love to see it him translated into something weird in the Ultimate U, like the Mandarin, which was awesome. That's really one of the best parts of the Ultimate U. Sometimes a villain you know and love from 616 end up being a computer.
I'm not Captain America, but I wish I was.
Nathan, do you have any insight on when your miniseries takes place? It's definitely after Divided We Fall, since Danvers has her new position, but is it before Tony dons his Iron Patriot suit? Or is it just sometime in the universal "now"?
Man, all my answers for Iron Man have either been done in the UU (Ghost, Crimson Dynamo) or are dead (Dr. Doom). Whiplash would be cool, and he was just in the short story in Ultimate Spider-man #150, so I'll go with him.
I like Ultimate Comics. - Read them with us!
I also buy: Captain America, Avengers, FF, New Avengers, X-Factor, among others
For Iron Man, I'd like to see Obadiah Stane. Since his original appearance has been retconned into a TV show, a real lfe Obadiah is still yet to appear in the Ultimate Universe.
Also, I'd LOVE to see Doctor Doom!! Nathan, whether you get to write more Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, or the Ultimates, I'd LOVE to see you bring in Doctor Doom! I know canonically speaking he's dead, but his death made no damn sense whatsoever, and with the widely established existence of Doombots, it would be very reasonable to bring him back without it being a cheap resurrection. Doctor Doom is the coolest villain ever and he was so underused in the Ultimate Universe!
And needless to say- I'd love to see the Mandarin again in a sequel to this story!
Bring back Ultimate Doctor Doom
Yeah, Doom. Ultimate Doom was great and his (non)death is easily explainable as that could have been anyone in his costume and when Ben squashed his head there were brains, blood and an eyeball that popped out (I think) none of which Doom has
In fact I still want to see a Doom mini (written by N. Edmondson) that shows how he got back from the Zombieverse, his involvement in Ultimate Power and Ultimatum, how it wasn't him that was killed by Ben and then his reaction to the return of Reed and the City and the Children (was Latveria wiped out?) to set up the a new status quo. Then I want to see The Ult Avengers black ops ongoing (written by N. Edmondson) that starts with them trying to take down Doom, Beetle, the symbiotes and whatever plans he had for Namor
Even if Doom's dead was badly done I would like to see Marvel keep him dead.
Because if they start to bring back a character just because his dead was badly done why wouldn't they start to bring back more characters for the same reason.
It they wanted to use Doom why not just create a new Doomlike character.
Azazel - A teleporter, a renegade mutant assassin, unable to be detected via telepathy due a small technological device attached to his belt, given to him by his master, Mojo, is assassinating residents of Tian with his twin katana blades. Karen and her Ultimate X are (t)asked by Xorn to capture this teleporting assassin, or kill if necessary. This would be a good excuse to see the new Ultimate setting in full detail, Tian. And of course there are two cities to explore. This may also make a pretty good story for Ultimate Deadpool.
Executioner - Perhaps my favourite Thor baddie ever. His 616 counterpart carries a double battle-axe enchanted with the power of fire and ice. I would LOVE to see him get Ultimatized. All Ultimate fans, bar none, love to see Thor have something hard to hit. And who better that Skurge, The Executioner? I can't believe this guy hasn't been ultimatized yet.
Phalanx (Alien Race) - Easily the greatest alien race Marvel have ever created. If you haven't heard of them, look them up on the Marvel database. I'm sorry but F*** the Skrulls. They're s**t. They really are. I've never understood the fascination about them. Whereas The Phalanx are a powerful bloodthirsty alien race and it's criminal how they've been ignored in favour of races less badass. Not only should the Phalanx be Ultimatized, they should be the focus of an entire Ultimate event.
New Liberators Team / Masters of Evil - America is STILL recovering from the events of DWF/UWS. Lead by Frank Simpson, it's another mighty invasion upon Ultimate Marvel America and the Ultimate Marvel heroes. The Executioner could get Ultimatized here. A deadly opponent for Thor to fight. And the Beetle could fight IronMan! I would love to see this happen. Think of it as a bit like the ending of The Ultimates 2, only with more dynamic and interesting one on one battles. I thought Frank Simpson aka Cpt. Vietnam was a brilliant bad guy in Ultimate Comics: Captain America and I'd love to see him return to do something big. And a traditional Ultimate terrorist attack upon the USA seems right up his street.
Tombstone - A few years ago, sometime during or around the Death of a Goblin arc I think, Bendis revealed that he would be ultimatizing Tombstone. Not that he might, but that he would. I wish I could find the link. Doesn't anybody remember that? Of course, Bendis' word should always be taken with a pinch of salt. And his plans might've changed since then. Still, I would like to see an Ultimate Tombstone. I'd like to see him as Scorpion's top henchman.
He could also be one of the members in Scorpion's Ultimate Five, with Scorpion being the sixth and final member at the end. Yes. Scorpion leading the five would be pure awesomesauce.
Jackie Boy Lantern - An Ultimatization of Jack O'Lantern.
Avalanche - I am very eager to see Quicksilver and his New Brotherhood again. And I think this new Ultimate Brotherhood could do with an extra member or two too. And who better than Avalanche? I think Geokinesis is a great powerset and I don't think the UU has seen it used yet.

Kitchen Tour: Jay's Chelsea Renovation
Jay recently did a complete renovation of his apartment after renting it for nearly eight years and then purchasing it in 2005. It is on the ground floor of an 1860 brownstone. The kitchen was an aspect of the apartment he was least satisfied with. He wanted to knock out the wall separating the kitchen from the living space, create a better area for entertaining and upgrade the appliances and overall look. Through the redesign process, he intended to construct a light and airy space out of what was formerly dark and claustrophobic. Jay hired New York architect Steve Blatz to help think through the options and spearhead the project. While Jay economized in some areas of the apartment, the kitchen was one where he splurged with the goal of maximizing efficiency, space-usage and quality.
He installed a 72-inch long "peninsula" that divides the kitchen area from the living area as well as houses storage, appliances and a generous prep and sitting area. He used marble slab for the countertops and marble tile for the backsplash (both from Stone Source). The kitchen appliances are pint-sized but luxurious in both finish (stainless steel) and quality. There is a Miele 18-inch dishwasher, U-Line under-the-counter freezer drawers equipped with an icemaker and a U-Line under-the-counter refrigerator. Jay opted for a 24-inch restaurant-quality range from Bertazzoni that suited the space and allowed for ample storage for pots and pans in cabinets alongside it.
While Jay opted for high gloss white cabinetry from IKEA, he purchased a $3,000 chandelier from Jayson Home and Garden. This item adds sophistication and a touch of glamour to the kitchen.
Consistent with the rest of the space, Jay made use of even seemingly awkward areas in the kitchen with great success. The niche where the old refrigerator was installed became a shelving area for wine storage and other kitchen items as well as a place to keep tucked away his husky's raised feeding bowl. He managed to squeeze a compact LG combination washer/dryer into the kitchen providing for one of New York's most sought-after domestic luxuries.
One of the special things about Jay's apartment is the art and collectables he has cleverly acquired and assembled over many years. The kitchen is no exception. Tiles depicting produce by Greg Copeland, sourced at Las Venus, decorate one wall of the kitchen. A terrarium (a recent passion) that he made after a class at Wave Hill adorns the peninsula. Flowers (potted and cut) occupy every "room" in the studio including the kitchen and seemingly bring the outdoors in.
Jay's kitchen is an example of how small need not mean skimpy in design, function or satisfaction.
Kitchen Tour Survey
1. What's your cooking style?
Bipolar? I tend to either do a relatively fast, simple meal, 'one-pot' if possible, like a pizza or soup, or lately, a black-pepper-shrimp-with-black-eyed-peas recipe I love and have made several times — or I'll do a more elaborate meal of several dishes.
2. What inspires your kitchen?
In no particular order:
• Recipe recommendations from friends and family
• Cocktails (St. Germain and tequila make an amazing margarita, btw)
• Barefoot Contessa and
3. Favorite tool or element:
Tool - Reamer, MicroPlane.
Element - Fire
4. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
Let the meat rest 10 minutes before serving.
5. Biggest challenge in your kitchen:
Storage space. It's like a puzzle: Any time someone gives me something or I buy a new item, it requires shifting things around and/or getting rid of something else. And keeping the white floors white.
6. Biggest indulgence:
Beef tenderloin with Gorgonzola cream sauce.
Truffle salt. Sottocenere (truffle) cheese.
Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Snaps.
My Miele dishwasher
7. Dream tool or splurge:
Cuisinart 16-cup food processor.
A good Japanese knife
8. What are you cooking this week?
Nothing noteworthy, I'm afraid. I didn't shop since I'm going out of town.
9. Desert island cookbook?
"1001 Ways to Cook with Coconut?"
Silver Spoon or The New Basics.
10. Favorite meal cooked here?
Ale-steamed mussels with garlic and mustard.
Pumpkin roulade.

errrr.....72 FOOT long peninsula?
I love small spaces and I'm moving into a 569 sq ft condo that I had redesigned at pre construction stage to be be more user friendly However, if Jay's place was up for sale (and I lived in NYC) I would buy it in a heart beat. I LOVE IT! I love the esthetically pleasing functionality of the entire place---which, when you live in a small space is essential. I can't say enough about the kitchen (except for the pots & pans in the cupboard). Love it, love it, love it.
OCD2 (Ottawa, ON-Canada)
Totally brilliant. Love the backsplash - can you give any more info about it?
Glad y'all like it. To answer your question, the backsplash tile is a calacatta marble 1x4 mosaic. I got them at Stone Source here in NY.
ocd2, I know, I know, what's with the pots and pans in the cupboard above the sink...That's what I get for choosing to have a washer/dryer where I could have had a nice big cabinet for pots and pans. Ah, city living.
This is an awesome kitchen. I love how you really used all the space, yet it doesn't seem cluttered. I am in the process of renovating my kitchen too and was wondering how you find your U-Line appliances? Do you miss having a traditional ref/freezer? I am considering the U-Line as well. It really opened up the space having it under the counter. I would opt for the Lg combo unit over additional pot and pan storage any day!
I don't miss having a full size fridge at all - the two undercounter units give me plenty of space and one of them has an ice maker, which is great. I got them at Gringer & Sons in the East Village - ask for Holly, she's great. Perlick is another option for undercounter refrigerator/freezers and Gringer has those as well.
I love this kitchen and if I ever get that little space on the beach I covet, I am keeping this design in mind. I love that he even has a washer/dryer combo in there! This is all about knowing what your priorities area and designing accordingly, like you are not going to be storing huge amounts of food, so splurge on the chandelier. Kudos, this is awesome!
As they say : Less is more and in this case Jay's flat proves a light of delight. A great example of what can be achieved within a small space.

I too am a small flat owner in Central London, so its nice to see what others have achieved, especially as we all need to cook!

Big love for the under counter fridge freezer / ice maker ... i'm seriously considering ditching my fisher & paykal for similar to allow more counter space. Nice work Jay and thanks for sharing.

My Flat is 50sq meters / 538 Sq Ft . London E1
Grey epoxy resin floor throughout, white walls, triple glazing, no joinery, clean white lines, sliding door to bedroom, Quooker boiling water tap, free standing kitchen made up of found items (quality items), Le Corbusier re-upholstered sofa (found in a skip), smart floor lighting, open plan living area, no art on walls.

LLinux Drives Digital Audio Revolution
Can MP3 really send CDs to the same dusty bin as vinyl records and cassettes? Not if the only way you can listen to tunes is by using your PC or a battery-powered player that holds an hour of music. But fear not, digital denizens—a number of new devices are emerging to MP3-ize everything from stereo components to boom boxes. And Linux will play a key role in this potentially huge new market.
For too long, digital music has been tied to a specific medium: the 120mm CD. To listen to a song, you carry a disc from player to player. That isn't so bad with one disc, but carrying an entire collection around is impractical. And until the recent availability of CD burners, there was no way to create new compilations of songs you like or get rid of ones you don't. But digital music is just a bunch of bits. The combination of new compression techniques such as MP3, with faster modems and bigger hard disks, has made it practical to move digitized songs from one device to another. It has also become trivial to create (legally or illegally) new copies of songs.
Today, this process is typically performed on a PC, which is the only device that most people own with a network connection and a hard disk. But a PC is not ideal for this task. It takes a long time to boot, the user interface is complex, and it crashes frequently. In addition, PCs are too expensive to put in every room, and they often don't have high-quality sound outputs.
The solution is to create a home music network. Start with a music server. This stand-alone device has a hard disk, a network connection, a small screen or TV connection for the user interface, high-quality audio outputs and inputs, and probably a CD drive. Users can download music from the Internet and also "rip" their own files from the CD drive or external audio sources. The user can listen to stored music using playlists or listen to streaming Internet radio.
The natural operating system for this device is Linux. No Windows compatibility is needed in this appliance, but Linux provides out-of-the-box networking and enough power to handle downloading, ripping, streaming and listening at the same time.
Now add music clients to the home network. These low-cost devices send requests to the music server and play streaming audio from the server or from the Internet. No hard disk or CD drive is required, but Linux is again a good choice, given its low cost and network support. Just as your home may have several radios and CD players, future homes will have several music devices connected to the music server.
A number of technologies, by the way, are vying to become the home network of choice, including phone line (HPNA), power line (HomePlug) and wireless (802.11). Any of these can support a home music network of several devices. With this new way of listening to music, there is no physical medium. Songs are accessible as bit streams from any device that is hooked to the network. In theory, you could listen to your music from a hotel room in Iowa, assuming it had an Internet connection. You could also download songs to a variety of portable devices that could each hold some or all of your music collection, allowing you to listen to your music when not connected to the Net.
The first company to get behind this vision was S3, which owns the Rio line of portable MP3 players. The company recently announced the Rio Receiver (http://www.riohome.com/), which is a music client that uses the PC as a server, connecting through your existing phone wiring (without disrupting your phone service). The device sells for about $250 US, although you will also need to add a $49 phone-line networking card to your PC if you don't already have one. S3 is developing a music server, but that device is not yet available. Both S3 and partner Dell Computer are selling the new devices.
Other small companies including Lansonic, Lydstrom and Zapmedia are marketing digital music systems with various levels of networking capability, but only S3 is producing both music servers and low-cost music clients. Its Rio was the first and is still the leading portable MP3 player, and S3 is leading the way with home stereo components as well. While only a third of all Americans regularly use the Internet, almost everyone listens to music. Digital music, in MP3 and other formats, could be the killer application that drives the adoption of home networks. As the easiest way to get a non-PC device onto a network, Linux will have many opportunities in this new market.

Re: Linley on Linux: Linux Drives Digital Audio Revolution
The SliMP3 is a small device that connects to your home network and plays MP3 files or Internet radio using your existing PC as a storage and streaming server. The server software runs on various Windows versions, Linux, OS X, and is available as platform-independant Perl code.
The 8.5 x 2.5 x 2 inch (21.5 x 6.4 x 5 cm) device has a bright flourescent display and comes with a remote, which makes it easy to use from across the room. The only connections are RCA stereo jacks, ethernet, and power.
This device will be my next home audio purchase. Now all I need to do is rip all my CDs...

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
