Bullet Points - Abbey Road, Lil Wayne, The New Pornographers

Last week EMI, the music company that owns Abbey Road studios, announced plans to sell off the legendary complex in order to pay off debts. It now looks as if the company has reversed its stance and will  now look for financial help through a third party.

A studio famous for housing The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Radiohead, Abbey Road has long been a sinking hole for EMI who wanted to completely upgrade the facility. When the news broke of their intention sell, many fans were outraged.

The studio was to be sold for upwards of 37 million dollars and  had many potential buyers including composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Lil' Wayne recently had his prison sentencing delayed until next month in order to have dental surgery. It turns out Weezy might be in for a world of pain after the procedures he endured. According to TMZ, Wayne had eight consecutive root canals, worked on his grill, several tooth implants redone, more implants added and had the few real teeth he has left repaired. Nothing says gangsta like bad teeth and an addiction to cough syrup.
