Kanye & The Weeknd (via Coachella Facebook)
Kanye West wasn't billed for Coachella 2015, but it seemed impossible that he wasn't going to do something. And he did in fact show up. After The Weeknd covered "Heartless" in his set, he brought out Kanye to do four of his songs, "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Black Skinhead," "Don't Like (Remix)," and "All Day." Watch videos, via Miss Info, below...

Fetty Wap playing House Party 1-yr anniversary, made a song w/ Baauer & Dubbel Dutch, who's playing w/ Peaking Lights
by Zack Baker
Even if you haven't heard of New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap, you've probably heard his single "Trap Queen." He's not setting out to be a one hit wonder though, and today dropped a new track with the impressive team of Baauer (who probably wants to escape the one hit wonder thing himself) and Dubbel Dutch called "Promises." The track comes as a result of the Yours Truly/Adidas Songs From Scratch series, which has been responsible for collaborations between Nosaj Thing and Chance The Rapper, Shlohmo and Jeremih and many more. Check out that track below.
Fetty Wap's next show will be this week's House Party at Webster Hall (4/2), which is the weekly party's first anniversary. (He played the party in January too.) He'll be joined by Funk Flex, plus Just Blaze and the other House party regulars. Tickets are on sale.
Fetty Wap also just released a vlog centered on his performance with Kanye West at the Roc City Classic back in February. While built around the show, there's a lot of narration from Fetty about his current status and the rapper seems genuinely humble about his rise. Check it out below.
In related news, Dubbel Dutch is playing a big show at Output on Thursday (4/2) with Mike Simonetti, Peaking Lights Acid Test, and Huerco S. It's free before midnight with RSVP, or you can also buy tickets.

David Crosby calls Kanye West a talentless poser & Mike Love a jerk, but likes Fleet Foxes, Wilco & Jessica Pratt
photo: David Crosby at City Winery in 2014 (more by Greg Cristman)
David Crosby was once the radical musician who pushed The Byrds in a more psychedelic direction until it resulted in his departure, and then formed one of the greatest folk rock supergroups of all time. And as Stereogum points out, yesterday the 73-year-old legend himself took to Twitter to answer questions from fans, including a lot about his opinions on other people's music.
Here's what Croz had to say about Kanye West:
"@JADoss23: @thedavidcrosby opinion on kanye's music, impact as an artist?"
Music ?.. He's an idiot and a poser....has no Talent at all— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
As for someone who does have talent, Billy Joel...
"@Matt__Hurd: Hey, @thedavidcrosby how do you feel about Billy Joel? (Lol)"
Very talented cat , writing , singing playing— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 5, 2015
If you didn't already know, Croz has kept up to date too. He digs Fleet Foxes, the band you may have heard compared to CSNY:
"@jeffwpope: @thedavidcrosby Would you ever sing with the Fleet Foxes?"
Sure— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
And Wilco:
"@bbaha7486: @thedavidcrosby do you like the music of @Wilco?"
Yes I do— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 4, 2015
And Jessica Pratt:
"@peeven_stalmer: @thedavidcrosby @JADoss23 she's really good, you should listen: https://t.co/4NxihbhSgC"
I like her— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
He likes Kanye collaborator Paul McCartney:
"@Dickbotte: @thedavidcrosby do you like Paul McCartney?"very very much...one of the best ever— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
But thinks he'd only work with 'Ye to widen his audience:
"@MIneCritters: @thedavidcrosby Why do you think Paul McCartney would waste his time recording with Kanye West?"
To widen his audience— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 6, 2015
He loves Brian Wilson:
"@EricJohnsonKOMO: @thedavidcrosby Three words to describe the genius of Brian Wilson, please."
Innocent, brilliant,inspiring— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
But definitely not Mike Love:
"@BestBergerEver: @thedavidcrosby Did you ever work with Mike Love?"
Have not
Would not
Not a good person— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
"@BestBergerEver: @thedavidcrosby Is Mike Love the biggest jerk in rock? pic.twitter.com/pvhF1cYUSD"
Quite possibly— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 4, 2015
There's at least a chance you could see him jam with Phil Lesh during all this Grateful Dead excitement:
"@brizzahizza: @thedavidcrosby How bout coming up to @TerrapinXroads and jamming with #phillesh on some PERRO tunes?"
Might do that
Friend— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 6, 2015
But not at the actual Dead shows in Chicago or the Jerry tribute in Maryland:
Many asks about the upcoming Dead shows
I would go but I am working ...did go to many ...played with them a number of times— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 5, 2015
"@starshine9160: @thedavidcrosby Are you going to participate in or be at the Jerry tribute? (Not the 50th anniversary shows)."I'm working— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 5, 2015
He does not dig The Doors though:
"@BestBergerEver: @thedavidcrosby In your opinion, were the Doors better with or without Morrison?"
they NEVER swung at all— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 4, 2015
And last but not least (for now), Ryley Walker asked him about bongs:
"@Ryley_walker: @thedavidcrosby have you ever broken a bong over somebody's head?"
Duh ...no— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) March 3, 2015
You can read way more of the very entertaining Q&A at his Twitter.

Kanye West already released "Wolves" and "Only One" from his upcoming album, which he recently said will be called So Help Me God. That's the artwork (which looks like this Christian Mistress artwork) above. He recently played a third song from it, "All Day," at the BRIT Awards and he now premiered the studio version on Power 106 and Hot 97 today. The song features Theophilus London and Allan Kingdom.
UPDATE: The official video is out now, and it's also been revealed that the song features whistling from Paul McCartney. Watch/listen below,

Late last year, A$AP Ferg returned with the new mixtape Ferg Forever, a nice tide-over while we wait for the followup to his excellent Trap Lord. In the past week, he's dropped videos for two of that mixtape's tracks. The first was for "Doe-Active," directed by Spike Jordan and featuring a cameo from Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, and the second was for "Dope Walk," directed by Matt Starr and featuring appearances by Kanye West, Beyonce, A$AP Rocky, Big Sean, Haim, Rihanna and Justin Bieber. Watch both below.
In related news, this Sunday (3/1) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar, A$AP Nast and A$AP Twelvyy will play a
free show presented by DXC/Dunkxchange. At the show, you can buy, sell and trade sneakers and apparel. There will also be performances by GRZLXMODE and GI Dara, and music by DJ Mpure and DJ Rob Cast. Unlike most BKNB shows this one is ticketed ($15 advance, $20 at the door) and the flyer is below.
Ferg also has shows coming up, mostly in Australia and New Zealand, but also a couple US festivals including Pitchfork. All dates are listed below.
A$AP Rocky's also on board for US festival BUKU Music + Art Project happening in New Orleans on March 13 & 14 with Passion Pit, TV on the Radio, Run the Jewels, BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah, DJ Windows 98, Die Antwoord, Flosstradamus, RL Grime, Portugal.

Big Sean's already released a handful of songs from his new album Dark Sky Paradise (due next week via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam), and now he's put out two more. One is the full version of his Kanye West collaboration, "All Your Fault," that he put out a 30-second clip of last week. The full version's an even huger song than that clip hinted at. Backed by dark, ornate production from Kanye, his protege Travi$ Scott and others, the song opens with an auto-tuned hook from Kanye that goes into the kind of biting verses he delivered on Yeezus. Then Sean takes over the spotlight, and finally the song ends with the two of them going back and forth. The other song he put out is a bonus track, "Research," a collaboration with his pop star girlfriend Ariana Grande. You can listen to both below.
Sean still hasn't announced a full tour, but more dates keep popping up. He's got an upstate NY show on April 12, and a NJ show April 22 at Starland Ballroom (tix on sale Friday, 2/20, at noon), so hopefully that means a NYC date is coming around that time too. All known dates are listed below.

Big Sean - 'Dark Sky Paradise'
We've already gotten a few tastes of Big Sean's new album, Dark Sky Paradise (due next week, 2/24, via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam), and now he's just given us two more songs. One is "One Man Can Change The World," a piano ballad with guest sung vocals from Kanye West (who's also on the great "Blessings" with Drake and the "All Your Fault" clip) and John Legend, as well as the downtempo rap of "Win Some, Lose Some" which features past collaborator Jhene Aiko. Listen to both below, along with a mix of snippets from the album.
UPDATE: Big Sean announced a few dates, including a NYC-area show happening April 22 at Starland Ballroom in NJ. Tickets for that go on sale Friday (2/20) at noon with a presale starting Thursday (2/19) at 9 AM. All currently known dates (more TBA?) are below.
In related news, Kanye collaborator Cashmere Cat (who co-produced Ye's new single "Wolves" that he just debuted at his fashion show and then performed on SNL 40) also just co-produced (with Stargate) the new single for another Kanye collaborator, Ty Dolla $ign. It's called "Drop That Kitty" and has an all-star cast of guest appearances from Charli XCX and Tinashe. They all bring their own personalities to the song: Ty in auto-tuned sung-rap mode, shouty/sassy Charli, and soulful Tinashe. Check it out below.
Cashmere Cat will be on tour soon supporting Ariana Grande, including her MSG shows on 3/20 & 3/21, and headlining his own NYC show on March 21 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show are still available.
Tinashe is also supporting a bigger star (and Ariana Grande collaborator) on an arena tour, Iggy Azalea, including her Barclays Center show on May 7.
And Charli XCX will return to NYC for Governors Ball, which just announced its daily lineups.
In more related news, Big Sean recently put out his own verse for "Used To" from the new Drake mixtape (and from Lil Wayne's mixtape). You can listen to that below too. Like Kanye and Big Sean, Drake was in NYC this past weekend for a surprise show at Irving Plaza, which he brought Kanye out during. Video of that below.
And speaking of Kanye collaborators, producer Hudson Mohawke tweeted yesterday that he's in the studio with Miguel, so that's something to look forward to.
Song streams below...

SNL celebrated 40 years w/ Sia's wig, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Kanye, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell & much more
The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary was a spectacle, bringing together most of the show's famous cast, guest hosts, and favorite musical guests for a three-and-a-half hour extravaganza (with commercials, and not counting the extra hour of red carpet interviews that started an hour earlier on NBC). On the musical front, Kanye West got a lot of air time, performing "Jesus Walks" (while on his back), then getting up for "Only One" and new song "Wolves" (complete with ice-blue contact lenses) with Sia in a white wig, and Vic Mensa. Class skits were revisited, and Kanye was the target of some jokes in the new "Wayne's World" segment where "Kanye, Sit Down" came in at #5 on their Top 10 List.
Sia's wig would later appear on Zach Galifianakis when he introduced new Digital Short, "That's When You Break," that starred Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler (and clips of SNL actors cracking up ["breaking"] on camera). There was also Paul McCartney, who played Irving Plaza the night before, performing "I've Just Seen a Face" with Paul Simon and then "Maybe I'm Amazed." (He was very memorably, hilariously introduced by Keith Richards.) Later in the show Simon, introduced by Jack White, would come back out for "Still Crazy After All These Years" Related: Miley Cyrus covered Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" (with Fred Armisen on invaluable tambourine, and Paul McCartney's drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr. playing as part of her band too). Miley was introduced by Win Butler and frequent guest-host Candice Bergen.
Best buds Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon opened the show with a pretty impressive Beasties-style rap that chronicled the history of SNL. Later in the show Martin Short and Maya Rudolph (as Beyoncé) did a tribute to the many comedy musical sketches over the years many of whom made their return: Bill Murray's lounge singer (still great), Joe Piscopo as Frank Sinatra, Marty & Bobbi Culp (Will Ferrell & Ana Gasteyer), and The Blues Brothers (Dan Aykroyd was wearing his Crystal Skull vodka knit hat on the red carpet).
The SNL band got a big shout-out too, which saw the return of longtime guitarist G.E. Smith. Late bassist Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, who Smith played with on SNL and in Hall & Oates' band and died in 2010, was acknowledged in the "In Memoriam" segment that, hilariously, also included Jon Lovitz (who, not dead, was in the audience waving incredulously both times he was referred to as dead during the show). There was also a tribute to Tracy Morgan who is still recovering from a near-fatal car crash.
"Celebrity Jeopardy"
We got a lot of updates of classic sketches including the welcome return of "Celebrity Jeopardy," the maybe less welcome "The Californians" (with original cast member Laraine Newman, Taylor Swift> and a game Bradley Cooper who got to make out with Betty White), and Ackroyd did his famous "Bass-O-Matic" sketch again.
What else: Tina Fey and Amy Pohler did Weekend Update with Jane Curtain (and Edward Norton as Stefon and Melissa McCarthy as Chris Farley character Matt Foley); Jerry Seinfeld fielded questions from audience members Michael Douglas, John Goodman, James Franco, Larry David, Tim Meadows, Dakota Johnson and Sarah Palin; and Chris Rock paid tribute to Eddie Murphy who came out on the SNL stage for the first time in 30 years. That may have been one of the most awkward moments of the night. Everyone was hoping Eddie, who also talked to Al Roker on the red carpet in the pre-show, would perform, but that unfortunately didn't happen.
There was lots more: Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, a sports montage, a shorts montage.... You can watch the whole thing over at NBC.com. More pictures and clips of many of the highlights, below...

Win Butler came to NYC to play the NBA celebrity game, DJ twice, serve coffee, introduce Miley on 'SNL 40' (pics, video)

barista Win Butler serving up his new Haitian coffee blend
Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler had a busy weekend in NYC. His eventful three days began on Friday when he played the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at MSG. His team, The West, beat The East (which Common and others were on) 59-51. Win had eight points and 12 boards. You can watch a video of him doing a layup, below.
He was wearing his Kanye West-designed Nike Red Octobers (not to be confused with Kanye's new Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost shoe that he debuted last week). Win's brother/bandmate Will tweeted "Kanye, you have to fix this #MVP thing. They have to respect the artistry" after Kevin Hart (who returns to MSG in July) got MVP.
After the game, Win headed to Bowery Ballroom where he was one of several DJs at the Rock On Foundation benefit, as DJ Windows 98. The Hold Steady headlined. Other DJs included members of Vampire Weekend, Das Racist and Caveman. That's him at Bowery pictured above.
Then Saturday afternoon Win headed to La Colombe cafe in Hudson Square where he acted as a barista, serving his new blend of RaRa Haitian Coffee that he created in partnership with La Colombe. The blend was partially to benefit Haiti, with proceeds going to Partners In Health and Haiti Coffee Academy. We stopped by the cafe to see barista Win in action, and while we were there he jumped on a table to give a speech about how the coffee is for a good cause. He then gave out sample cups to the crowd, took pictures with fans, and signed stuff. Some pictures of that are in this post.
That night, he was back under his DJ Windows 98 guise to get a late-night party at Baby's All Right going. Anyone catch that? UPDATE: Win now uploaded a mashup of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" and Beck's "Loser" which (according to a commenter below) he played back to back at Baby's. Listen below.
Finally, on Sunday Win headed to SNL's 40th anniversary to introduce Miley Cyrus. Some people were not happy about this decision. Here are some tweets:
Talented: Win Butler, Jack White.
Not talented: Miley Cyrus, Kanye West.

Though Kanye West said the Grammy thing was a joke ("like the Grammys themselves") and Beck was excited about it and thinks he is a genius, some Beck fans are still none too happy. As Gothamist points out, a few of those fans whose office building happens to be right outside the location in NYC that Kanye played last night took the opportunity to get their message across. Gothamist writes:
A company called PNYC, located around the corner from the stage, welcomed the rapper by putting up large letters in their windows that spelled out "BECK." This was, of course, a nod to Kanye interrupting the musician as he was about to accept his Grammy award this past weekend.Photographic proof is above.
Matt and Jason from PNYC told us this morning, "We are an agency actively researching the effects of Out of Home (OOH) advertising. We found out Kanye was playing outside of our building and we wanted to make a point about being in the right place at the right time with the right message and how that can be amplified through digital channels. And... don't fuck with Beck."
In related news, some kind soul took the time to put together a Beck/Beyonce mashup, because obviously that was going to happen. Listen to Beckyonce's "Single Loser (Put a Beck on It)" below...

Kanye West played to massive crowd outside Madison Square Park, Fetty Wap & other guests included (pics, video, setlist)
photo via SiriusXM Instagram
Kanye West's concert at Madison Square Park Thursday night drew in thousands of fans and spectators, despite the backlash from Flatiron community and business leaders.Kanye West had a pretty eventful Thursday. Earlier in the afternoon, he debuted a new song "Wolves" at the fashion show for his new Adidas line, and then at night he played the first annual Roc City Classic at Flatiron Pedestrian Plaza, which Kevin Durant co-hosted. As you can see in the picture above, it was packed. Were you one of the people in attendance? If not, did you stream it online?
A long line of concertgoers had to go through three blocks of barricaded streets to get to the free show at Flatiron Pedestrian Plaza inside Madison Square Park. The 37-year-old rapper's fans braved the freezing temperatures and the small green space and were thrilled with a big screen, bright lights and plenty of tunes.
...The packed show worried Community Board 5 and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, who pushed the city to reconsider holding the concert at the park. Brewer said she couldn't fathom why Roc Nation, Jay Z's media company which produced the show, didn't stage the concert at a bigger outdoor space such as Times Square.
Some of the concertgoers said they had no problem with the tighter quarters of Madison Square Park, however. [AMNY]
'Ye didn't play "Wolves" at the show, but he did close the set with his recent Paul McCartney collaboration "Only One." He brought out his G.O.O.D. Music pals Travi$ Scott, 2 Chainz, Pusha T and Big Sean, and did a handful of their songs too. The show opened with three Travi$ Scott/2 Chainz songs, and later on they included Big Sean's recent Kanye-featuring single, "Blessings," Sean's huge hit "I Don't Fuck With You," posse cuts "Don't Like" and "Clique," and more. He also brought out rising Paterson, NJ rapper Fetty Wap (who also opened for Meek Mill at Best Buy Theater the same night) for his buzzy "Trap Queen." "I wanna bring out a special guest. Young new artist, my favorite song out," he said. Jay Z and Beyonce must like it too, since they were in the crowd dancing to it, as you can see in a short clip below.
Travi$ Scott also recently expanded his tour with Young Thug and is on the surprise new Drake album. Drake plays an NBA All-Star Weekend show too (with Nas).
Full setlist, a few more pictures and videos, and the "Wolves" video ICYMI, also below...

Kanye West debuted new song ft. Sia, Vic Mensa, Cashmere Cat & Sinjin Hawke at fashion show, on Big Sean's new song

So far this year, Kanye West has released the Paul McCartney collaboration "Only One," the Macca/Rihanna collab, "FourFiveSeconds," and earlier today at the fashion show for his new Adidas shoe (part of the ongoing NY Fashion Week) he debuted another new song, "Wolves," featuring Sia, Vic Mensa and production by Cashmere Cat and Sinjin Hawke. It's said to be the first track on his upcoming album. Watch a video of the debut, below.
UPDATE: The full official video of the show is out now, and watchable below. "Wolves" starts at the 8:19 mark.
Kanye also appears on Big Sean"s new song, "All Your Fault," which a 30-second clip of was just released. Kanye produced it, along with Travi$ Scott (who recently expanded his tour with Young Thug). The song will appear on Big Sean's upcoming new album, Dark Sky Paradise, which is out on February 24 via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam. Kanye (and Drake) also appear on previous single "Blessings." Listen to that, and the "All Your Fault" clip, below.
Meanwhile, Kanye's NYC show for NBA All-Star Weekend is TONIGHT (2/12) at 8 PM outside Madison Square Park. If you didn't get in, you can stream it live. UPDATE: It happened.

Maybe you've heard by now that Kanye West said "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyonce" after Beck beat her in the Grammys' 'Album of the Year' category. Maybe you've also noticed that several other people have offered up their own responses to Kanye's quote, including Garbage singer Shirley Manson. She writes:
Dear Kanye WestIn related news, it's been announced that Kanye's free NYC show taking place during NBA All-Star Weekend with co-host Kevin Durant on Thursday (2/12) will stream live on Jay Z's Life + Times website, starting at 8 PM. Given last weekend's events, something tells us there may be auto-tuned explanation happening during this show.
It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry.
You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.
You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt.
In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own.
Grow up and stop throwing your toys around.
You are making yourself look like a complete twat.
Ps.I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own.

Beck's had a pretty good Grammy night, his Morning Phase having first won Best Rock Album and then one of the biggest awards of the night, Album of the Year, beating out Sam Smith, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams and Ed Sheeran. On top of that, the award was given to him by Prince! As Beck started his acceptance speech, Kanye West jokingly headed toward the stage. "No, come back," Beck said. "I need help up here." Kanye later said that Beck should have given his award to Beyonce.
Morning Phase also won for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
Meanwhile, though he didn't win "Album", Sam Smith took home "Best Pop Vocal Album", and "Record of The Year", "Song of The Year", and "Best New Artist".
Tom Petty didn't win a Grammy, but he did co-write the 'Song of The Year' (sort of).
Tenacious D won the metal Grammy for a Dio cover.

The NBA All Star Weekend happening in NYC next week is also meaning lots of crazy (and not always public) events for music fans in the city. We already mentioned that Win Butler, Common and others are playing a celebrity all-star game and Drake and Nas are playing Irving Plaza, and now we've learned another rapper, Kanye West, will be putting on a free performance in the city.
He's co-hosting it with OKC Thunder player (and Roc Nation Sports signee) Kevin Durant on February 12 outside of Madison Square Park at 6 PM. The only way to get in, though, is to win tickets. You can enter via co-presenters Roc Nation or Power 105.1 FM's contests or follow both on Twitter. As HipHopWired points out, you can also text "BOLDMOVE" to 95577 to win tickets from presenting partner Sparkling ICE.
That same week is Fashion Week in NYC, and Kanye will be doing something for that too. Fashionista reports that he's planning to present his upcoming Adidas collaboration in NYC that week:
West has repeatedly stated that Adidas has put trust in his talents and has given him the creative freedom he needs to truly shine -- take that, Nike -- which is why we were pretty excited when rumors started spreading around the Internet that he would be unveiling his collection for the sportswear brand with a presentation at New York Fashion Week. According to Complex, invitations to the event (which will reportedly take place on Feb. 12) have already been sent out, and the site referenced a (now-removed) Instagram screenshot of an e-mail sent to menswear buyer Ramon Ehlen as proof.Sooner than that, he'll be in LA to perform at the Grammys with Paul McCartney and Rihanna. He's also launched a mysterious website with a countdown clock (six days and counting as of this posting, we'll see).
You probably know by now that Kanye West and Paul McCartney have teamed up not only once but twice this year, most recently for the Rihanna collaboration, "FourFiveSeconds" (also featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth). They've now given that song a video, directed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and you can check it out below.
It's also been announced that Paul, Kanye and Rihanna will all perform together at the Grammy Awards Ceremony this Sunday. Other performers include Madonna, AC/DC, John Legend & Common, Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett, Gwen Stefani & Adam Levine, Pharrell, Usher, maybe Beyonce and definitely not Taylor Swift.
Kanye and Paul will also be on SNL 40 the following Sunday. "FourFiveSeconds" video below...

As mentioned, Saturday Night Live will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a three-hour live special on February 15 (which is Sunday, by the way). Former castmember Eddie Murphy, who hasn't appeared on the show (which he doesn't have especially fond memories of) since 1984, will return for the special which also features a cavalcade of other past castmembers: Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Mike Myers, Andy Samberg, Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Dana Carvey, Kristen Wiig, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Rock, Garrett Morris, and Maya Rudolph.
There will aslo be lots of former SNL hosts as well, including Five Timers Club members Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Paul Simon, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken, and Steve Martin, plus Emma Stone, John Hamm, Derek Jeter, Melissa McCarthy, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Jim Carrey, Peyton Manning, Betty White and many more yet to be announced.
In addition to Timberlake and Simon, other musicians appearing on SNL 40 will be Kanye West, Paul McCartney, and Taylor Swift. The Saturday Night Live Special runs from 8 - 11 PM on 2/15. You can watch a couple of promos for the special below.
If that's not enough SNL for you, VH1 Classic's marathon of old episodes is underway and will continue 24/7 through February 15 (schedule is here).
And in related news, Eddie Murphy, who has dabbled in music in the past, having scored a hit in 1985 with the Rick James-produced "Party All the Time," recently released a reggae single "Oh Jah" which you can stream below. It's not his first dip into the genre -- he released a single with Snoop Lion in 2013 and collaborated with Shabba Ranks in 1993.
This past week's SNL featured D'Angelo.

hip hop roundup: Kanye & Paul McCartney, Dipset, Smif N Wessun, Danny Brown, Death Grips, Joey Bada$$, more
by Andrew Sacher
As always, there's been some notable news in the hip hop community lately -- like the new N.E.R.D. songs -- and now that the holidays are behind us, we're taking this chance to round up some of the stuff we've missed. Here's some of that news, plus a few upcoming NYC shows...
As you may have heard, on New Year's Day Kanye West and Paul McCartney released a collaborative track called "Only One," which a press release calls "the first publicly available recording from what has become a prolific musical collaboration between these two legendary artists" and is sung from the perspective of Kanye's late mother. The idea of Yeezus and Sir Paul on a track together may seem more like it'd happen for the novelty of that collaboration than because they work really well together, but if you haven't listened you should check this song out. It's very good.
Onetime Kanye tour DJ A-Trak (who thinks, despite what you say, that 2014 was one of the best years for rap) reunited Dipset members Cam'ron and Juelz Santana on the single "Dipshits" in 2014, which was followed by a full Dipset set at Wu-Tang's Barclays Center show. Now, the group of Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey are preparing to continue that reunion with a mixtape and a five-stop US tour this year. The plans were revealed by Funkmaster Flex on Instagram (via FACT). No tour dates announced yet, but stay tuned.
Cam'ron's sorta-recent Fool's Gold Day Off showmate Danny Brown is also up to something, it's non-musical though. He told Australian radio station Triple J (via FACT) that he's working on a Dr. Seuss-inspird children's book:
"It's really about self-esteem in black girls, I guess", says Brown. "You know how black women do so much - process their hair, change their eye colour - it's really about a little girl who does all these things to herself and changes herself and she realises she's just better off the way she is."That should be interesting. In less positive news, Danny's fellow "1 Train" rapper Joey Bada$$ was charged with assault after allegedly punching a security guard at Australian music festival Falls Festival, Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports. The guard allegedly told police he thought Joey was an unauthorized person. After the incident went down, the guard was treated for a broken nose and other facial injuries, and Joey was arrested after the show. Pitchfork points out a representative for Joey offered an official statement reading "There was a misunderstanding with security at the Byron Falls Festival show, which resulted in charges being laid by NSW Police. After fully cooperating with Police, Joey was granted bail and entered a plea of not guilty to the charge."
Brown started writing the book for his daughter, and claims that he "wants it to be real Dr. Seuss-y. The Grinch, Green Eggs And Ham, and One Fish, Two Fish - what was going on in that guy's brain to be able to write those things? I think I AM Dr. Seuss! I'm The Grinch, I'm all his characters come to life in rap music."
Death Grips before they "broke up" (more by Wei Shi)
In rap news that is just kind of weird, Death Grips, who are supposedly broken up, released a new instrumental album called Fashion Week that you can download for free. They also announced that their double album, The Powers That B, will actually come out as a physical release on February 10 via Harvest Records.
Now for some upcoming shows. Father, who we mentioned is opening for Theophilus London on February 16 at Bowery Ballroom (tickets), is also playing his own show on January 22 at Baby's All Right with special guests. Tickets are on sale now. His album, Young Hot Ebony, made Stereogum's 40 Best Rap Albums of 2014 list, it features iLoveMakonnen and others, and can be streamed below.
Two days earlier than that is the next 'Hot 97 Who's Next' show at SOB's (1/20) with a lineup of NJ rappers Kazzie, Dougie F., Fetty Wap and KC Bandz. Tickets are on sale now. Dougie F put out the single "Back Up On It" on Mad Decent not long ago. You can watch the video for that, with a Fetty Wap video, below.
For something more classic, Brooklyn vets Smif-n-Wessun are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 1995 debut, Dah Shinin', on January 14 at SOB's. Tickets are on sale.
One last thing, while Run the Jewels (El-P + Killer Mike) was by far the consensus hip hop favorite of 2014 (and many critics' favorite of any genre), with duo Freddie Gibbs & Madlib trailing not far behind, it was the duo of Royce da 5'9" and DJ Premier, aka PRyme, who topped HipHopDX's list. As discussed, PRhyme's tour hits NYC on February 22 at Highline Ballroom. Tickets for that show are still available.
Streams and videos below...

Madonna announces new album, featuring a song called "Bitch I'm Madonna" ft. Nicki Minaj (hear 6 songs now)
You may have heard that demos of a new Madonna album leaked this week, and that she responded by saying she was "artistically raped" by hackers. Well now the Queen of Pop has officially announced her new album, which is called Rebel Heart and will be out on March 10 via Interscope.
She's also made six of the tracks available right now, including one called "Bitch I'm Madonna" featuring Nicki Minaj (!), and some of those tracks were produced by Kanye West and Diplo, according to Billboard. The album also may feature production from Blood Diamonds, SOPHIE, and not Ariel Pink.
You can purchase those six tracks via iTunes and stream them via Spotify below...

hip hop roundup: Smoke DZA, Kevin Gates, YG, Lil Durk, Iggy Azalea, Tinashe, Theophilus London, Rakim & more
by Andrew Sacher
As always, NYC has a good amount of upcoming local hip hop shows and tours passing through. Here's a rundown of some of the cool stuff coming up...
NYC kush lover Smoke DZA has a hometown show happening January 25 at The Studio at Webster Hall with support from Manolo Rose, Tray Pizzy, JY, Dave East, Big Bz and Sha Hef. TIckets are on sale now. DZA's latest album was a collaboration with his group R.F.C. (Al-Doe, Bluntsmoker, NYMLo, and 183rd) called The Outsiders, which came out in late November. It features guests spots from A$AP Rocky, Cam'ron, Styles P, Chevy Woods, Dame Dash and Dom Kennedy, and production from Jahlil Beats, Ski Beatz, Lee Bannon and others. Stream it in full below.
The legendary Rakim squeezes in one more NYC show of 2014 before the year ends on December 27 at BB King's. It's a Christmas show presented by Funk Flex, and also featuring Special Ed, B Fats, Sponnie G and DJs Kool DJ Red Alert and DJ Chuck Chillout. Tickets are on sale now.
There's no lack of hip hop holiday celebrations in NYC between that Rakim show, the Run DMC Christmas show at Barclays Center on Friday (12/19) (tickets), the Le1f Kwanzaa show at SOB's on 12/28 (tickets), the Mykki Blanco show at Baby's All Right on New Year's Eve (tickets), and A$AP Ferg's opening set at the Skrillex/Diplo show at MSG on New Year's Eve (tickets).
Theophilus London recently released the new album, Vibes, which was executive produced by Kanye West, and also featured vocals from 'Ye, Blood Orange, Soko and more. He's now announced a tour in support of it for 2015 which hits NYC on February 16 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets for that show go on sale at noon on Friday (12/19). List of dates and a stream of the track with Blood Orange below.
Theophilus's NYC show is with trippy R&B singer Doja Cat and Atlanta rapper Father, who just performed on stage with Tyler, the Creator, whose tour hits NJ on 12/20 at Starland Ballroom (tickets) and NYC on 12/21 at Terminal 5 (sold out).
Iggy Azalea, who was playing SOB's only two years ago and will soon likely be dominating the Grammys (for better or for worse), is making the step up to Barclays Center (5/7) on her next tour. That tour is with Nick Jonas, who appears to being trying to reinvent himself as an R&B singer, and Tinashe, who's a much more promising R&B singer and played her own NYC show at Highline Ballroom earlier this week. (Anyone catch that?) Tickets for the Barclays Center show go on sale at 9 AM on Friday (12/19). All dates are listed below.
Chicago rapper Lil Durk recently dropped the single "B.O.N." (streaming below), and has plans to tour in 2015 including a NYC show on February 24 at Gramercy Theatre with Villain$ and The Rapper: H. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
YG's tour with Nipsey Hussle was supposed to hit Best Buy Theater in November, but it was rescheduled for January 9. Tickets are still available, and any purchased for the November show will be honored.
To digress from live shows for a second, December is once again a time for last-minute hip hop releases. In addition to the looong-awaited D'Angelo album, Nicki Minaj's The Pinkprint and J. Cole's 2014 Forest Hills Drive, there's the new Kevin Gates mixtape, Luca Brasi 2, the sequel to his excellent 2013 mixtape, The Luca Brasi Story. Like that mixtape (and Stranger than Fiction and By Any Means, which have come out since), it's got Kevin seamlessly moving back and forth between melodic singing and aggressive rap. Kevin's prolific output can be a little intimidating to approach, but some of his best songs so far -- "Perfect Imperfection" and "Sit Down" are two early standouts -- are on here. Download the tape for free at DatPiff and stream it below.
The lists of Theophilus and Iggy/Tinashe dates, and the Theophilus/Blood Orange, Lil Durk and Smoke DZA song streams, also below...

Customer Reviews of Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter
EXCELLENT adapter for the money!6/17/2011
I installed this adapter on a computer that uses XP Pro (32 bit) and had no problems with it. I used the installation disk to set this up and it went in without one single problem. The reception is better than I expected and I like the fact that I didn't have to run wires or put holes in the wall to use this. I would definitely purchase Linksys products in the future.
Great Service5/23/2009
I was truly surprised how fast I received my Linksys wireless-G PCI adapter from Buy.com. This card installed quickly and most importantly made my life easier. I was able to move my desktop PC into the lower level of my home without drilling holes into anything to run cables. The connection speed was unchanged. I am very happy with both buy.com and Linksys.
So Far so good.5/4/2009
Install easy, performance to date, very good. Good value.
Works out of the box4/12/2009
Installed (without the CD) on a XP-machine, and has a strong signal on laptops using Windows XP, Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.10. I think it works better without installing with the Linksys CD. The range is also better than expected.
Excellent Product3/14/2009
Cheapest price on the web. Easy install and fast delivery.
Nice product, but difficult to install3/9/2009
Now that I have it working I like this card and it performs well, but I spent a lot of time on the phone with Linksys tech support and I'm pretty technically savvy, just not a network guy. Everyone's situation is different...Different operating systems, anti-virus software, etc. You may have no hassles, but this was my experience.
Not Compatible with Windows XP 64-bit!!!!!1/13/2009
I am extremely disappointed with Linksys. There is nothing on any of the literature regarding this adapter that states that it will not work under Windows XP 64-bit. In fact, the specifications are: Windows Vista and Windows XP service pack 1 or later. There are no drivers available for XP 64-bit and no ETA as to when there will be. I spent hours trying to install this in a new system, with tech support on the phone and live chat. They both walked me through the same processes I had already done and neither asked at the outset what operating system I am using. The final straw was when they informed me that the only Linksys adapters that are available for XP 64-bit are USB. There are none in PCI. Simply not acceptable. I have been a loyal Linksys customer for at least 10 years. Now I will turn my attention to D-Link.
Another good linksys product1/5/2009
I had used only hardwire connection for my home network but since the move to a greater house a few months ago, I seriously had to consider wireless connection if I were not to make a lot of holes to the house. I originally had a wireless router with speedboost technology from Linksys and wanted to make use of it, so I ordered this card. After installation of drivers, I put in the card to one of the PC and voila! The network was detected instantly with signal bars full. Although some of recent Linksys products are less than recommendable, many products are still of solid quality. I can definitely recommend this product to anyone.
Can be hard, even for Geeks like us...10/10/2008
My husband is a computer geek. I am a geek-by-marriage, quickly becoming acclimated to his nerdy lifestyle. :) After getting rid of dial-up a few years ago in favor of DSL (or whatever), I no longer had the intarnetz on my home office computer (he still had access on his office computer). For a while it was no big, but I finally got tired of not having it, and our daughter is getting older and needs it for school, so we bit the bullet and got a router and adapter. He installed the router just fine and it recognized the Wii, but after puting the adapter into my 'puter, the router couldn't find it. He went back and forth between offices for hours. Once the router found the adapter (henceforth called RTR and ADP cuz I'm lazy), my computer said that it could find the RTR but couldn't access the internet. We chatted at Linksys with Habib (I swear that was his name, I'm not being mean!), we had no luck and gave up for the night. The next day, hubby called Habib Tech Support and was basically told that my computer was too far away from the intarnetz! Oh, dear lord. ! Well, while hubby was messing around on my computer anyway, he decided to get rid of some old programs that I never use, or were installed a long time ago. He got rid of McAfee and rebooted the 'puter (as told to do), and when the 'puter booted back up, DING! We found the intarnetz! I have seen in other reviews how sometimes programs can interfere, so I guess that's what this was doing. So, while things aren't PERFECT with the ADR (we live in a concrete block home), it is great! Even if the box says that the ADR can't connect to the internet, it can. So if you are having that probelm, just try to open something anyway. You may get lucky. If we can't open the internetz and we've tried a handful of times, I just restart the puter. Nothing I do is so important that this is a hssle--since the puter and my laundry room share a space, I am usually on the puter and folding towels at the same time... For the price and the (mostly) ease of use, I am very happy with my purchase. I have my intarnetz back and I can shop at home or chat on the net now in my underpants :) .
Better than Speedbooster10/4/2008
Replaced the comparable Speedbooster model with this adapter. Stronger signal and less disconnects with the basic card. Easy to install and virtually no setup.
Great Product!6/19/2008
This Linksys wireless PCI wireless G card is like all previous Linksys products that I have used: rock solid reliability, easy to install, and excellent performance. I highly recommend this product!
Linksys Rocks!6/9/2008
Another fine product by Linksys! Easy installation (Windows XP) no driver issues, great range, fast data transfer. All the things I was looking for. Of course, all my network hardware is Linksys, router, switch, NIC cards, and wireless cards. My Dell laptop is the only exception and there are no issues there either. I'm not usually brand loyal, but I am here!
Excellent Product2/24/2008
I have three working in my house. This one works just as well as the other ones. Easy set up and works very well. Seems to me the connectivity and through put are as good or better than the Speedbooster model. I have both and this one actually works better than the Speed booster wireless card. Although I do have a speed booster router. It works very well with Windows XP.
linux driver review only2/1/2008
I thought i was buying a card that would work with b43 and bcm43xx linux drivers. however, I got the 4.1 version which is RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI. The current ralink rt61 userland driver works but you can't put this card into promiscuous mode. I couldn't get the current rt2x00 driver to compile on a recent kernel. the ralink driver should be found in most linux repos. for linux users, there are other chipsets with better drivers than this card.
Tried other less expensive wireless equipment. Updated firmware, proper settings and still not as consistent and reliable as my linksys equipment.
Solid Performance On 98SE With Minor Work12/10/2007
This wireless card is extremely well built and reliable as all other Linksys products. The manufacture states that it will run on Win 98SE and they are correct but don't rely on the easy auto setup. I had to install this card manually in order for it to work and after that it has been a solid performer with no drop-outs or performance issues.
It enabled me to connect into a wireless system smoothly and without incident. I would recommend this particular product among the many available because it is truly the best one on the market for what it does. Friends that were using similar units from other makers have switched to THIS product to achieve the same end result that I have. I think that says it all.
Great wireless adapter - be careful during setup5/28/2007
Great wireless card, my router is 2 stories down, and I still have a full signal strength. I have recently installed 2 of these adapters on different PCs and I learned a few things along the way. Decide which software you want to run, windows zero or linksys. If you want to use windows zero do not run the linksys cd first, install the card and let windows prompt you for the driver. If you want to use the linksys software, then install the software, and then the wireless card. If you want to use windows zero, and install the cd first, the linksys software will automatically load, and you will need to disenable it. Even after it is disenabled it will load on your system, and appear in the icon tray. Also if you have other PCs connected via wireless to a linksys router and plan to use WEP or WPA (which you should - WPA is the most secure) do not use the 1 touch method to attach as it will screw up the wireless connection for all previously connected computers. I wish the linksys documentation that came with the card had covered this.
Works well, setup quirky4/5/2007
Tried to install on a Vista machine as per the Quick Start Guide. No joy. Searched around online and discovered that the best thing to do was: 1. install the card 2. run Windows Update 3. it works
Excellent Product - Pathetic Support3/14/2007
As always, Linksys great quality and performance. Be sure and get latest drivers and such, as with any hardware. Linksys support is the typical outsourced untrained people... so definitely avoid them.
Great for the price10/27/2006
I actually installed this in my tower, and then when I read the instruction on the Installation CD Case, it told me to install the software "before" installing the card. Took the card back out, installed the software, put the card back in, and it all worked perfectly. Very nice.
Best bang for the buck!8/9/2006
Linksys products are always fairly easy to use. The deal I got here was great! I now have my desktop on my network, no problem!
Great product4/24/2006
I bought this PCI card along with the WRT54G Wireless-G router and am very happy with them. I just followed the instructions provided and the card was communicating with the router in no time. My desktop is about 40 feet away from the router and I never get below 65% signal strength and it never falls below 30 Mbps throughput (it's usually about 50 Mbps). The only problem I have is that the status checking software tells me the PCI card CAN find the router, but CAN'T find the internet. This is obviously a false error, since my web browser (and other internet apps like ftp) work fine. So, I guess it's not a real problem, but I figured I should mention it in a review. Overall I think this product works really well and is a great value.
Works very nicely3/2/2005
Was very easy to install and works very well...the only problem I have had, however, is that whenever the phone rings in my house I lose signal...but it usually re-connects right away. Overall I am very satisfied.
Works great! Good value!6/17/2004
I have setup and configured countless numbers of these wireless cards for many different people on different brands and speeds of computers. Some were Win98, some XP and they all worked flawlessly. Out of 20+ install the only problem I experienced was that one unit was shipped with a faulty antenna which Linksys replaced. Works really well especially with Linksys routers.
Doesn't work with older Windows or PCs1/29/2004
I have managed to get the Linksys WMP54G to work with Windows Me and Windows 2000 on a PC based on a 512Mb MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard (very recent MoBo). I haven't been able to get it to work on "older" PCs (e.g. 64Mb 200MHz Dell or 384Mb TMC T15VGA with 450MHz AMD K6/III) with any OS. I haven't been able to get it to work with Windows 98SE on any PC at all. Believe me - I have tried. The Linksys Tech support facilities (on-line, 'phone and email) are "sub-optimal".
stopped working but fixed, xp machine1/26/2004
i have had this card for months and one day it stopped working, i called linksys and they couldn't help me at all. but then i remember around the time it stopped working i install a windows update, so i went back and deleted that update. I then restarted the computer and that was it. It worked again.. The name of the xp hotfix was "Update for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826942)" . I hope this helps.3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Doesn't connect to WRT54G WAP1/25/2004
Three different cards, three different computers. Utility interface for XP is non-standard and cumbersome, as well as for Windows 2000. Could never get the card(s) to succesfully connect to the Internet using wireless on all three machines. Spent countless hours with tech support who were clueless and only suggested reinstalling drivers and repeatedly taking the hardware out, rebooting, and putting back in (?) Never did get any of these to work... tore out, ran cat 5 and now everything is hardwired and working in less than 2 minutes (not counting running the wire). Oh BTW, had "Good" signal strength, no WEP enabled or something.. VERY simple install. Looks like lack of proper beta testing really screwed me over.
LinkSys WMP54G Speed problems11/9/2003
Just bought a LinkSys WMP54G PCI card and its performance, or lack there of, has surprised me. The amount of packet loss is incredible and my high speed internet has been brought down to its knees with this card.

Doesn't work with Windows XP10/26/2003
I bought two WMP54G cards for two different computers running windows XP. Both machines will not recognize the WRT54G router. I spent 2 weeks working on the problem and about 8 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support. Now my local computer shop will not take the hardware back.

Beware of Shaky compatibility with Windows XP!!!9/17/2003
I bought this card for my Windows XP Pro machine. I am also using a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router. The computer dectected the card right away and it was installed without any problems. But after this the card would have extreme difficulty maintaining a link with the router. The connection would drop and pick up on and off even with a strong signal. I tried the card in my Windows 98 machine and it works fine with a strong connection that never drops. Both machines are about 50 feet from the router behind a wall. I used the D-Link DWL-G520 with no problems on my Windows XP machine. I would not recommend this item for Windows XP users considering it did not work for me at all.7 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Easy to use and great speed6/26/2003
This system is very EASY to use. I have configured many of these setups for other people and decided to get it after seeing how well they worked. It is easy to setup and works very well. The only limitation is the distance that it can cover is greatly affected by obstacles (like most wireless devices) but it still works great.
Nothing could be easier.6/12/2003
Installation was a snap. Set up was a snap. I've had zero problems. I'm running this on XP and perhaps that is why, but I'm mostly a Macintosh user (the Mac is connected to the Router!) yet still from opening the computer, to installation, to the connection speed I get (it screams) I'm very very impressed. Never imagined it would be this easy.
Works great...when it works at all.3/13/2003
I got the Linksys Wireless G router and PCI card together. First I tried to install it under Win2K on a test system and it wouldn't connect with all the settings verified. Reinstalled Win2K again (this was a test machine): LAN connection but no Internet. 3rd time's the charm, however you have to wait 3 minutes for internet connectivity while the network connects instantly. Scenario 2: Windows XP. Installed easy, worked great. Unplugged the computer and moved it closer to the router and the card stopped functioning. Only thing that would get the card working again was an OS reinstallation. I had to do this 3 times so far (Win2K AND WinXP) and it's stopped working again. It's a good combo as long as you never unplug the machine or shut it down.
Exceeded my high expectations3/10/2003
I wanted access to the interent from a portable PC anywhere in my house. Installation was a snap, and the performance is just as good as my hard wired cable modem for Web browsing. Even file transfers are quick enough to suit me. It's one of the best PC related purchase I've made in quite a while.
Works great2/22/2003
I just got this product with the Linksys Wireless G router to replace a 50 foot ethernet cable running along the outside of my house to the second floor. The card works great and reguarly reads over 20mbps which, basically, for internet browsing, is indistinguisable from the wired connection.4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Worked great right out of the box!2/1/2003
I bought this and the router a few days ago to set up a small office. Everything works great, I am running Windows XP so that may be why it was so easy to install. Just pop in the cd, and XP walks you through the setup. I have good signal strength and speed, even through a few walls. Good buy.

Watching Goalie Interference And Missed Offside Calls Plus 30 Thoughts
by Paul on 09/15/14 at 01:04 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet,
Last week, the NHL announced its new rules for 2014-15. But, there is another project of interest beginning this season, what Senior Vice-President Mike Murphy calls "strictly an internal audit" of both goalie interference and missed offside calls.
Let's call it "Shadow Replay."
In its downtown-Toronto replay hub, the league will "build a file of goalie interference," as Murphy says. Right now, it is too subjective.
"At the end of the week, we're going to review… to establish criteria internally of what is and what isn't goalie interference. Then we're going to report that to the general managers and say, 'This is what we've found.' We're trying to discover if it is realistic to have a coach's challenge for this. It would be a mistake to do it at this point in time."
The staff will look at collisions in the blue ice, in the white ice, everything it can to try and narrow it down. But Murphy stresses this will not go back to the "toe in the crease days" of 1999, where goals were being disallowed for ludicrous reasons. The desire is to see if "incidental contact" and "interference" can be strictly defined.

The Question Now Is Will The Refs Actually Call Diving Penalties?
by Paul on 09/14/14 at 09:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
We speak here of the small but numerous rule changes made late Thursday. You can look at these changes — which are probably still happening a little too often for the good of any game — in a positive light, which is probably the way they were intended, or you can view them with a more cynical disposition.
Take, for instance, the changes on diving infractions. A player will now be fined $2,000 for his second infraction and $3,000 for the next one until a maximum is reached of $5,000 per dive. Getting this blight out of the game is a noble endeavour. It has become a total stain on soccer and hockey was beginning to get into that arena, at least with some players. But the cynic will clearly ask how any official can be certain a player is diving. For starters, some of these guys are great at what they do, and even in watching some of the alleged examples of diving that TSN showed to illustrate the problem, you couldn't be dead certain something was a dive or simply a player getting his feet tangled up as he tried to turn.
And an official will have to determine this on the fly, sometimes from as far way as 50 feet or more.
The result of this will likely mean fewer whistles by officials unwilling to saddle players with fines when they're not absolutely certain of their call.

Expanding The Video Review
by Paul on 09/12/14 at 08:56 AM ET
Comments (7)
from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
The NHL announced several rule changes Thursday that will take effect this season, most significantly the expansion of video review "to allow broader discretion to Hockey Operations to assist the referees in determining the legitimacy of all potential goals (e.g., to ensure they are 'good hockey goals')," the NHL said in a statement.
"The revised Rule will allow Hockey Operations to correct a broader array of situations where video review clearly establishes that a "goal" or "no goal" call on the ice has been made in error. The new expanded rule will also allow Hockey Operations to provide guidance to referees on goal and potential goal plays where the referee has blown his whistle (or intended to blow his whistle) after having lost sight of the puck."
The league also said that in reviewing goals that have been kicked into the net, Hockey Operations will require more demonstrable video evidence of a "distinct kicking motion" in order to overrule a "goal call" on the ice, or to uphold a "no-goal call" on the ice.

Remembering Referee Frank Udvari
by Paul on 08/14/14 at 06:28 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Rory Boylen of The Hockey News,
Frank Udvari was an NHL referee in the 1950s and '60s who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1973. According to Josh Brown of the Waterloo Region Record, Udvari passed away at the age of 90 on Thursday.
Udvari is perhaps best known for being the referee in charge of the infamous game that eventually led to the Richard Riots in Montreal. On March 13, 1955, the Montreal Canadiens played the rival Boston Bruins on the road. During play, Bruins defenseman Hal Laycoe caught Richard with a high-stick by the eye and Udvari put his arm in the air to call a penalty.
But Richard was ready to take the situation into his own hands.
"I told him, 'I got it, Rock. I got it,' " Udvari said when he recalled the incident years later.
Of course, that didn't stop The Rocket.

"On the ice, if I made a mistake, I admitted it. And I think that we have to find a better way. I'm really concerned with some of the high hits, the dangerous plays. As the NHL is trying to sort through it and come up with a solution, I think they could be a little more diligent. And I think from an officiating perspective, they can get better as well."

Do You Believe In The Make-Up Call?
by Paul on 08/06/14 at 10:07 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Paul Stewart at the Huffington Post,
As with all referees and officiating supervisors who have ever worked in this game, I have grown all-too-familiar over the years with the following scenario: A controversial call goes against Team A. Perhaps it was the right call, perhaps not. Shortly thereafter, there is another disputed call. This one goes in favor of Team A. Maybe it was the right call, maybe it wasn't.
Either which way, there is a Pavlovian response from Team B: "Make-up call!"
I'm not going to deny that some officials feel compelled at times to try to "even things out." However, it does not happen nearly as often or as automatically as many people seem to think.
There are a lot of things that happen on the ice that people in the stands and watching on television are not privy to see or hear. For instance, there were many times in my career where I'd cut a player a break on a borderline penalty with a warning that the next time he did it, he was going to sit. If he ignored the warning, I was true to my word. He sat.

My own problems with Yzerman started as a result of him mistreating my teammates. He was abusive to linesmen, and it made my protective instincts kick in and tell him off in no uncertain terms. The spark was lit after he belittled and verbally abused longtime linesman Mark Pare on an icing call in Detroit. It went way beyond simply yelling about a blown call. He treated Mark and other officials like they didn't even belong on the same ice as he did.
My next run-in with Yzerman came as a result of a disallowed goal in Minnesota. The dialogue won't be repeated on a family-friendly blog but suffice to say he wasn't a big fan of my style nor I of his. He made it personal and then escalated it when he elected to gripe to the media about me.

Question for experienced mommies!
Ships Ahoy, It's a Boy! Coming Soon April, 4th '13!
Well my first was born 2days after her due date and my second was born at 38weeks., so i think this baby will be born at 38weeks or so not earlier. but it's never easy to predict.
DS was 4 days before and DD was 4 days after.
Sharon, DS 6/11/06, DD 4/11/08, DD 4/22/13, DS 1/20/15
hahaha that's what i thought too! boy was i wrong.....i went to a full 42 weeks (sooo not fun), was induced, never progressed and then had emergency c/s bc ds was struggling with the contractions. nothing about that pregnancy was easy though, from conceiving through delivery, with ds spending some time in the nicu. much easier so far this time, so things are looking up!
DD was 4 days late. They were going to induce 2 days later (normal induction around here is about 1 week late). I remember I kept feeling like I would NEVER go into labor! I would love to be induced early with this one just because I already feel overwhelmed with finding care for DD, etc. on short notice!!!
DD #1 born 10/10/09 - my little love bug!
DD #2 born 4/6/13 - my little fussy face!
Ava 4/7/11
Anna 4/6/13
A&M married 8/29/09
She was almost 2 weeks late, even though we started inducing at 41 weeks, 3 days.
She was perfectly healthy, just comfy cozy in there. Goober.
Most FTMs go ten days late, that's just the average though.
I'm just hoping this one doesn't have to be 'evicted' like DD. Lol.
WAHM: Wiggle Biscuits Cloth diapers and more!
A+W 5/8/10= 02/19/12:SIP (CD, BF, BW) GREEN turned PINK:4/10/13 AZP (NUCB, CD, BF, BW) IWP 1/28/15, (NUCB, 10 day NICU stay, EBF, CD)
ODD - 11 days early
YDD - 17 days early
I would be shocked to go full term with this baby.

Andy Beal is working on a new project
The UpTake: Raleigh-based serial entrepreneur Andy Beal says you'll pay for a media platform that is, well, the opposite of social media. And he's willing to gamble his money and time on that premise.
S erial entrepreneur Andy Beal has never struck me as a private person.
In addition to being the entrepreneur behind GuestComment, MarketPilgrim and Trackur, he's an avid blogger. And a quick Google search shows a plethora of content for a man that, when he's not inventing, acts as an online reputation management consultant.
But Beal insists that's exactly what he is – at least sometimes.
For more news from the Triangle Business Journal, check out Lauren Ohnesorge's work.
And he says there's a market in that privacy.
It's a belief he holds firm enough to make a big bet on an entirely new project: Journalate. It's a private, encrypted online journal – think Facebook, but you're the only face looking. And, even in a world where over-sharing is the norm, he thinks there's a market, and a big one.
"The market is huge," he says. "I don't know the numbers, but I do know when I walk into a Barnes and Noble, they have two walls full of journals and diaries. This is a huge offline market."
And he wants to bring it online – allowing you to use the devices you already have, your smartphone, your tablet, to document your life. "People already use journals. They keep track of diets, prayer."
The possibilities, he says, are endless.
"I had a personal need for it," he says. "I was looking for a place to start keeping a journal, because I wanted to document frustrations and ideas – just different things. I didn't want to put out publicly. I didn't even want to put it on Facebook and mark it privately in case something went wrong."
And a web search revealed that there's nothing like it on the internet, he says.

Car Crash Pain Doctor Says Recent Study Shows Women More Likely than Men to Sustain Serious Injuries in an Automobile Accident
Seat belts are not designed for females. Utah chiropractor says woman often let pain build up before they seek treatment for injuries.
Orem, UT (PRWEB) April 27, 2012
According to Utah chiropractor Dan LaFontaine, a recent study by the American Journal of Public Health found that women are at a much higher risk of serious injury when in an automobile accident than men. The study found that females wearing seat belts are 47 percent more likely to suffer an injury over males.
"Seat belts and other safety devices were not designed with the female body in mind," the Car Crash Pain doctor explained. "Women´s generally smaller stature and their posture while driving are among the chief reasons they are more likely to experience chest, spine and lower body injuries."
The study concluded that women tend to sit closer to the steering wheel and with straighter posture than men, causing more severe injuries in an automobile accident. In addition, female drivers are three times more likely to have whiplash injuries.
When an accident occurs, there is often damage to soft tissues, bones and other parts of the body. Women are more likely to experience whiplash injuries than men because they have smaller neck bones and their neck muscles are generally not as strong, said LaFontaine, of Utah-based Car Crash Pain.
"For immediate health concerns after a car accident you should visit the emergency room," he said. "What most individuals neglect to think about is their long-term recovery. Untreated neck or back injuries are more likely to develop into arthritis, chronic headaches and disc disease. By getting proper treatment individuals have a 93 percent chance of returning to normal physical activity, avoiding long-term pain and physical disabilities."
LaFontaine said whiplash injuries are among the most common in car crash victims because unlike bone injuries, they can´t be detected using X-rays. Soft tissue injuries include muscles, tendons and ligaments, and generally come in the form of tears, strains, sprains and general pain.
"Even a small fender bender can cause whiplash injuries," LaFontaine said.
On a positive note, research showed that women are more likely than men to seek medical care when experiencing pain. But women often let pain build up before they find a doctor.
"They take it in a lot more and for longer periods of time," said Dr. Irene Wu, assistant clinical professor of anesthesiology at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
Gender aside, automobile accidents may cause great pain and serious problems for everyone involved. Individuals are generally not prepared to face the costs on a financial level, but also on physical and emotional levels as well, LaFontaine said.

changing obgyn mid pregnancy
I Just switched. They just sent for my record from my previous ob/gyn to see what they had already done so they didn't have to repeat anything. They did do their own papsmear tho.....other than that, it was a very simple process.
I did this with DD 5 years ago...my sister was seeing the same Dr and was 6 months ahead of me with her DD and had a TERRIBLE experience, so I got scared.
As far as I can recall they just transferred all my information that I had with the first one...If there is something making you think you want to change, then go for it...you need to trust him/her 100%!!
i actually just switched too im going to my last apt with my one ob tho at 20 weeks then starting to go to another one at 24 weeks i dont like the one i go to now there not personal enough and i havent met the doctor thats going to deliver my baby yet and i dont like that i get to meet my doctor at my new ob the day i go so im happy! :)
I moved at 7 months pregnant. My only advice is make sure they immediately fax your records over and/or get a photocopy of your records for your own personal file so you can hand them personally over. My old OB was HORRIBLE and it took them over a month to fax my file over so I missed my 8 month appointment with my new midwife and ended up not seeing them until I was 8.5 months. I loved my new midwife and had a great experience.
Mom to two rescued pups; Ruby (8) and James (6).
Expecting our first human baby girl around 8/1/12!
I switched mid-pregnancy during my first pregnancy. Go figure it was still in the practice, and it was my old doctor's new partner. Lol. But they won't have to do everything all over again.
Nov '10 / Aug '12 / Dec '14 GO
I will have to switch in a couple weeks. I'm seeing a nurse practioner now, but her overseeing OB doesn't take my insurance.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
25 Feb 2011 11:55 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Egypt, Jordan
Tens of thousands of supporters and opponents of Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's president, have held rival rallies in the capital, Sanaa.
Protesters outside Sanaa University repeated slogans demanding that the country's longtime president step down immediately, chanting: "The people demand the downfall of the regime."
About 4km away, loyalists shouted support for the president, who they described as holding the fractured and impoverished tribal country together. "The creator of unity is in our hearts. We will not abandon him," they chanted.
Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Sanaa, said that while the situation is calm in the capital, due to the huge presence of police and military, there have been reports of protesters being killed in the south of the country.
"The situation in Aden [in the south] is very tense, two people have been killed and at least 24 pro-democracy protesters were injured in clashes with security forces [today]," he said.
"Security forces have been asked by the ministry of the interior to block the main square to put an end to the escalations there, as it is the stronghold of the secessionist movement who want to break away from the north.
"There have been huge rallies in the province of Sadah, the stronghold of the Houthi fighters. They have said they are joining the protesters and that their fight will be similar to the fight of thousands of protesters who are asking for an end to the political regime."
Yemen has been swept up in protests inspired by the recent successful uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. The demonstrators are demanding that Saleh, in power for 32 years, step down.
'Anarchy and killing'Seventeen people have died in the past nine days in a sustained wave of nationwide anti-Saleh protests. The embattled president has said he will not give in to "anarchy and killing".
Saleh, a US ally against a Yemen-based al Qaeda wing that has launched attacks at home and abroad, is struggling to end month-old protests flaring across his impoverished country.He is also trying to maintain a shaky truce with northern Shia Muslim fighters and contain a secessionist uprising inthe south against northern rule.Salah has offered to step down before elections scheduled for 2013 and state news agency Saba said he has assigned a committee headed by Ali Mohammed Megawar, the prime minister, to open a dialogue with protesters to hear their demands.
'Day of Anger'Elsewhere in the Middle East, several thousand people demonstrated in the centre of the Jordanian capital, Amman, in a "Day of Anger" to call for political reforms.
Jordan deployed more than 3,000 security personnel across central Amman, but police reportedly stayed on the sidelines and even gave bottles of water and juice to the protesters.
"We are demonstrating today against the official bullying and to demand reforms," leading trade unionist Maisara Malas told AFP news agency.
"We seek regime reforms. We want a true parliamentary monarchy. The monarchy should not dominate parliament."
Hamzah Mansur, chief of the Islamic Action Front, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, told the crowds "reforms have become a necessity that cannot be delayed."
"We want immediate constitutional change to help create productive governments and a truly representative parliament. These are the demands of all Jordanians."Meanwhile, more than 100 supporters of the Hashemite royal family gathered outside Al-Husseini Mosque, in the capital.
In Bahrain, protesters thronged the capital, Manama, to demand the end of the ruling Sunni government.
Tens of thousands of protesters headed for Pearl roundabout, the epicentre of daily demonstrations since February 14, chanting: "The people want to topple the regime!"
Some of the protesters carried megaphones, blaring slogans and speeches as the protest made its way towards the roundabout, renamed "Martyrs' Roundabout" in honour of the seven victims of a deadly police raid on a protest last week.
Signs around the square on Friday signalled that the protests were far from over: "We will not accept any dialogue with he who kills us in cold blood," declared one banner.
