  • After the experiment caused her sales to plummet, Estelle’s Shine and hit single “American Boy” are back on iTunes. “American Boy” is up at #21 on the iTunes song chart.
  • Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid pulled an upset victory to win this year’s Mercury Prize, beating out much favored albums by Burial, Radiohead and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss. “It’s literally the best thing that’s ever happened to us,” singer Guy Garvey said.
  • Sunday’s VMAs had a monster year in the ratings, becoming the highest-rated cable telecast for the key 18-34 demographic this year. Viewership was up 15% from last year’s show.
  • A Super 8 camera allegedly owned and used by the Doors‘ Jim Morrison is for sale now on eBay. The camera still works, according to the seller. You can check out the sales page here.

There’s no hope for MTV Music Awards in the near future. No doubt MTV is planning to make next year’s award as much of an useless debacle as this year’s was. All they have to do is to find an edgy obscure comedian who had a bit part in a hit movie and give out awards to Disney artists past and present. MTV is dead to me.

The ebay seller of Jim Morrison’s camera doesn’t say how he obtained it. Anyone can have one of those cameras laying around their house! I want proof it was Jim Morrison’s!!
