We draw the curtain on a Tuesday filled with wondrous and mind-boggling information. Like new dates for Dave Attell, MSTRKRFT, SONiA and disappear fear and The Wiggles, and links to items about John Lennon's killer, artists re-recording their old tunes, Pat Green's beer mishap, James Hetfield's fence, speculation on whether 27 is a jinxed age and all you need to know about Gnarls Barkley. That should be more than enough to impress the gang at the ol' water cooler tomorrow.
Overnight Sensation …
