Paolo Nutini tries on 'new shoes' in Santa Monica

Attention Santa Monica-based music supervisors and employees of MTV who still listen to music: Scottish singer Paolo Nutini is playing a free show during your lunch break tomorrow -- you might want to go check him out. 

Oh yes, it's also open to the public with no RSVP necessary. The "New Shoes" singer, who plays the Hollywood Bowl tonight with Etta James and Solomon Burke, begins a special set inside Puma's concept store (it was all but inevitable the singer was going to sell out to some footwear company, I suppose) on the Third Street Promenade (at 1350 3rd St.) at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
