St. Louis's mayor would rather not declare an "Ike Turner Day," due to Ike Turner being, well, Ike Turner. His management responds, "People are living in the past. They don't know the man I know. This ain't 1962." Maybe they could just call it "Post-wife-beating Ike Turner Day" and everyone would be happy! [USA Today]

We've been hearing that Danger Mouse, the impresario behind galactic overlords Gnarls Barkley, may be trying to collaborate with the Black Keys—and we also heard that Ike Turner was involved. We may be totally wrong on this, and no Danger Mouse/Black Keys reps returned our e-mails (can anybody out there confirm or deny our tip?) but we figured we'd post about it, if only to give us an excuse to ask our readers what, exactly, a Mouse/Keys/Turner project should be called. Crunk Factory? ProudMaryFreakness? Post your ideas in the comments. More »
