• Lil Wayne needed only a week for Tha Carter III to get a platinum plaque. It will be a short tenure at the top, however, as Coldplay are on pace to usurp the Number One spot. And we promise no more “A Milli” jokes.
• The employees of Dr. Pepper are scheduled to work overtime this weekend, as news of the Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy leak may force the soda company to make good on their promise to give everyone a free can. But are these tracks for real, or the best demos ever?
• Who didn’t we see in concert this week? We caught shows by Tom Waits, Sigur Ros, George Michael and Tom Petty and lived to write about it.
• We somehow made it back from Bonnaroo alive with video of My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam and Jimi Hendrix’s guitar pedals. We also discussed Kanye’s tardiness and hung backstage with Metallica and M.I.A.
