Let's not beat around the bush -- there hasn't been a new shows list in a few weeks. This doesn't really matter, however, since the shows will get announced one way or the other and you know what? Now's the time to announce them.

It's easy to see that list is heavy with the big name acts, and I usually pick a more obscure/more intriguing name to write a paragraph or so about. I was going to go with 80's rockers Night Ranger for this week, but then an interesting video hit the internet just this Sunday. It is from an old episode of the acclaimed HBO original series The Sopranos. The episode -- entitled The Telltale Moozadell -- is from season 3 and features a then 15 year-old Lady Gaga -- né Stephanie Germanotta-- cast as a rebellious youth, drinking to excess while her friends trash their school's pool.

Want to discuss this groundbreaking scene with her? Lady Gaga -- as well as A Perfect Circle, Snoop Dogg, Megadeth and Small Black -- will be coming to play the Valley soon.
