Bullet Points - Lil Wayne, Gorillaz, Smashing Pumpkins

Lil' Wayne's sentencing, stemmed from a weapons conviction last year, was postponed for a second time as a fire broke out at the New York City court house where Weezy was due to appear.

NYFD suspect the blaze was caused by a boiler in the basement of the facility.

This is the second delay he's been granted after being granted a month long reprieve to have dental operations performed in Miami.

No word yet as to when Wayne will be sentenced or if the venue of the the proceeding will be changed.

Gorillaz have released the video for their current single "Stylo" which features Mr. Clean himself - Bruce Willis. 
Filled with fast cars, an old school shoot out and an ambiguous ending to be dealt with in the next Gorillaz outing, "Stylo" is perhaps one of the lesser videos the band have done since "Tomorrow Comes Today".
The video also marks the first time the animated band are presented in 3D. Also, to catch you up on the Gorillaz storyline, the guitarist Noodles you see in the clip isn't the real Noodles but rather a computer generated version of her (hence why she breaks down in smoke in the middle). Drummer Russel is no where to be found either. Both are M.I.A. after the "El Manana" video. I suppose Murdoc and 2D are trying to find her through the Plastic Beach saga.

The Smashing Pumpkins have released "A Stitch In Time" the third single from their in-the-making album Teargarden By Kaleidyscope.
A new approach to the classic album format, Billy Corgan and company have turned Teargarden into a piece mill project. Intended as a 44 song concept album, each track will be released individually as it is made. 
"Song For A Son" and "Widow Wake My Mind" were released in December and January respectively. Listen to all three singles in the player below.
