This episode, we talk the best of old-school NYC life and hip-hop with two folks who know it better than almost anybody. MC Serch is best known for his work with 3rd Bass, but has also executive produced classic albums (including a little one called Illmatic), hosted TV shows, and more.

Blake “KEO” Lethem is a true hip-hop Renaissance man. From being an influential graffiti artist to arguably the first white rapper to designing album covers for the likes of MF DOOM, Blake has seen and done it all, and shares much of it with us here. We talk nightlife, stardom, graffiti’s TRUE relationship to hip-hop, and that time Hammer put out a hit on 3rd Bass.

While withdrawing its forecast for two- to three-year sales growth, Domino's said U.S. same-store sales were up 7.1% in late March and much of April, as diners under lockdown ordered home delivery more often.

Monty and Rose met last year on a beach on the north side of Chicago. Their attraction was intense, immediate, and you might say, fruitful. Somewhere between the roll of lake waves and the shimmer of skyscrapers overlooking the beach, Monty and Rose fledged two chicks. They protected their offspring through formative times. But then, in fulfillment of nature's plan, they parted ways, and left the chicks to make their own ways in the world. Monty and Rose are piping plovers, an endangered species of bird of which there may only be 6,000 or 7,000 in the world, including Monty, Rose and their chicks. They were the first piping plovers to nest in Chicago in more than 60 years. After their chicks fledged, they drifted apart. Rose went off to Florida for the winter, and Monty made his way to the Texas coast. They'd always have the North Side, but were each on their own in a huge, fraught world. And then, just a few days ago, Monty and Rose were sighted again, on the same patch of sand on

A clearer picture is starting to emerge of the deep budget cuts Colorado will likely face to backfill a possible $4 billion hole dug by COVID-19. It is likely to impact everything from affordable housing to health care, to oil and gas regulations, and schools, to transportation and water projects.

This week on Open Air, KALW’s weekly radio magazine for the Bay Area performing arts, host David Latulippe talks with actors Lorenzo Pugliese and Daria Pilar Redus (pictured), who play the parts of SpongeBob SquarePants and his squirrel girlfriend Sandy Cheeks, in The SpongeBob Musical , which is in town through February 16.

Pianist Roman Rabinovich's deep dive into the Haydn sonatas brought him revelations. Because Haydn's life bridged both the Baroque and Classical periods, his compositions reflect how the technology of the piano constantly progressed. "Instruments really changed like computers today, at that pace," Rabinovich said. Uzbeki-born, Israeli-trained Rabinovich continues to reflect Haydn's compositional invention since the Haydn project's debut at the Lincoln Center by performing the sonatas internationally.

It was six years ago that Catriona Rilley and Aby Watson had their lightbulb moment, while mopping the floors of Glasgow's Flying Duck after a shift.

A slickly produced 26-minute video called Plandemic has exploded on social media in recent days, claiming to present a view of COVID-19 that differs from the "official" narrative. The video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube via links that are replaced as quickly as the video-sharing service can remove them for violating its policy against "COVID-19 misinformation." In it, filmmaker Mikki Willis conducts an uncritical interview with Judy Mikovits, who he says has been called "one of the most accomplished scientists of her generation." Never heard of her? You're not alone. Two prominent scientists with backgrounds in AIDS research and infectious diseases, who asked not to be identified over concerns of facing a backlash on social media, told NPR that they did not know who she was. If you were aware of Mikovits before this week, it is probably for two books she published with co-author Kent Heckenlively, one in 2017 and another last month. Heckenlively has also written a book

Birgit Soyka stands in a large warehouse amongst 68 bird cages, each holding an exotic bird. The walls are covered in photos of brightly colored parrots, and bird-shaped tchotchkes dot the room. She cradles Boogie, a Congo African gray, and a regular guest at the San Francisco Bird Hotel, a spa and resort for birds. “Hi Boogie,” Soyka says; the bird coos in response. As the owner of the San Francisco Bird Hotel, Soyka takes care of Boogie and up to 150 other birds at a time. Her bird-boarding business started back in 2006, when Soyka, who says she’s always loved birds, agreed to “bird sit” a friend’s pet. “It was the beginning of a big snowball and avalanche,” Soyka says. “Out of this one bird came three birds, then 10 birds, then 100 birds.” In 2014, her small business turned into a full-blown bird spa and resort. At the Bird Hotel, all the cages are named after castles around the world; there’s Charlottenburg Palace, Hearst Castle and the Taj Mahal, just to name a few. There are

Vandaag zijn veel Nederlanders naar buiten gegaan om te winkelen of te recreëren, maar dat heeft op enkele uitzonderingen na niet tot bekeuringen geleid. Dat zegt het Veiligheidsberaad waarin alle veiligheidsregio's zijn vertegenwoordigd.

De meeste mensen deden hun best om anderhalve meter afstand van elkaar te houden. Dat lukt goed, zegt het beraad, maar in centra van steden rond winkels moet nog wel wat gebeuren. De raad pleit voor het instellen van looproutes en het ophangen van webcams, zodat de mensen thuis kunnen zien of het druk is in de stad.

Aanwijzingen van handhavers worden over het algemeen goed nageleefd. Voorzitter Bruls van het Veiligheidsberaad zegt dat aanspreken of waarschuwen bij het niet in acht nemen van afstandsregels meestal genoeg is.

Toch moeten mensen goed blijven nadenken voor ze eropuit gaan, zegt hij. "Dat ze afstand houden, is goed, maar vermijd ook drukte." Hij voegt eraan toe dat sinds Pasen het elk weekend weer iets drukker lijkt te worden.

Amsterdam

In Amsterdam grepen agenten en handhavers in langs de Amstel en in het Vondelpark. Bij het park Somerlust aan de Amstel was het volgens Het Parool erg druk. Toen politieagenten en andere handhavers daar wat van zeiden vertrokken de meeste bezoekers uit zichzelf.

In het Vondelpark sloot de politie de zij-ingangen om de instroom van bezoekers beperkt te houden.

Blijf weg uit de trein

Vandaag riep de NS mensen op om niet de trein naar het strand van Zandvoort te nemen. Door de drukte en het beperkt aantal beschikbare plaatsen in de treinen, kwamen mensen die de trein voor hun werk nodig hebben in de problemen.

Op Amsterdam CS werden perrons afgesloten. Alleen mensen dat per se met de trein moesten werden toegelaten.

In meerdere steden was het druk in winkelgebieden. In Leiden werd de Haarlemmerstraat vanwege de drukte afgesloten.

The coronavirus pandemic is causing pain and suffering the world over, but then there are always those who never let a good crisis go to waste. Some are benefiting from COVID-19 for legitimate reasons: just think of companies that make video conferencing apps, ventilators, or canny investors. But there are also more nefarious players looking to bank a win off the back of coronavirus fear and confusion: scam artists, fraudsters, counterfeiters. This week, Geoff Thompson, Mario Christodoulou, Meghna Bali and Kat Gregory investigate who's winning in these turbulent times and how.
