In other music news, PRINCE will release a new album, exclusive only to the UK, FREE if you buy the Saturday Edition of  The Daily Mirror.   Prince also believes the internet is burned out and "dead".  We also listened to cuts from his new album, 20ten, and talked about his career.

Did you miss the SIGNIFICANCE of JULY 5th!!??!?    Well you are not alone.  It seems most of the world forgot that was the fateful day Marty McFly went back in time!   Yeah, it seems everyone forgot, but that didn't stop an internet HOAX that has been going around this week.   Jaxon broke the story down for all the Back To The Future Fans out there!

Dr Pepper  celebrates it's 125th anniversary -  and they are going OL' SKOOL, replacing the high fructose corn syrup with sugar...just like the good old days.   It's available now, until September, so swing by your local store and pick it up!
