Want to know what Matt Rubano listens to on his ipod? Matt is dj-ing some of his fav tunes at blip.fm. TBS are the featured DJ’s, so go listen to the songs they pick.

Also, we will be holding a contest later in the day revolving around winning Transformers swag, but in the meantime you can stream the album here before its tomorrow release date.

And for those who are unaware, Adam got suckerpunched after the Philly show the other night and broke his nose. The guy(s) were caught and went to jail.

Taking Back Sunday now have one of the top ten albums in the country with their new CD, New Again, and kindly took time out of their busy schedule to meet their #1 fan. . . Wade, the infamous Denny’s Allnighter t-rex. Yes, t-rex:

Still clad in the band’s t-shirt, Wade celebrated the only way he knows how – with late night eats at Denny’s. Unfortunately for him, some foods are simply more small-arm-friendly than others. Check out what happened in this exclusive new webisode in the Denny’s Allnighter series to follow up the national television spot :
