Grime hip-hop artist Skepta was awarded Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize on Thursday for his album "Konnichiwa" in recognition of a resurgent homegrown genre. As he presented the prize, Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker paid tribute to late rock legend David Bowie who had been tipped to win a posthumous award for "Blackstar", released just days before his death in January. "We as a jury decided that if David Bowie was looking down on the Hammersmith Apollo tonight he would want the 2016 Hyundai Mercury Prize to go to Skepta," Cocker said in a ceremony at the London venue.

Back in the early 2010s, TNA Impact Wrestling thought it’d be great multimedia cross-promotion to put as many of its stars as possible into country music videos. Cowboy James Storm had ‘Longnecks & Rednecks’, Mickie James had a full-on country music career featuring videos starring Magnus, and so on. If you look hard enough, there was probably a Lady Antebellum video starring Garett Bischoff.

A majority of online music consumers now listen on smartphones amid the boom in streaming services, the global music industry group said Tuesday. The report, which surveyed 900 people in each country in March and April, found a strong correlation between smartphone use and subscriptions to streaming services. The music industry body, known as the IFPI, has avidly sought for music consumers to pay for streaming services, seeing subscriptions as a solid source of growth in a long-suffering industry.

Inside lies an experiment in music, sculpture and how to present art in the 21st century. Inaugurated this summer, the 4,700-hectare (11,500-acre) estate called Tippet Rise is the brainchild of a wealthy couple of free-spirits who are fulfilling a lifelong goal of creating their own classical music venue. The Tippet Rise Art Center, hidden some 105 kilometers (65 miles) from Montana's largest city Billings, aims to marry art to the American West's overpowering natural openness, with musicians at times performing outdoors amid sculptures in view of the Beartooth Mountains.

Happy birthday, Supernatural ! While the Season 12 premiere is still a few weeks away, The CW's favorite veteran of all things spooky and weird brought sexy/scary back on Sept. 13, 2005. A lot of things have changed over the years: TVs are flatter, cell phones are smarter, and the WB frog who serenaded us during commercial breaks has gone the way of Stick Stickly and Clippy the Microsoft Paperclip. RIP. These days, Jared Padalecki is more Mack Truck than string bean and Jensen Ackles is the DILFest DILF to ever DILF, proving that aging isn't always a bad thing. To celebrate the show's anniversary, we've compiled a quick and dirty list of our favorite Supernatural musical moments (in no particular order). Michigan J. Frog may have left the building, but the little show that refuses to die still throws one hell of a party. Supernatural stars discuss potential end date (and it's sooner than you think) "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult ("Faith," Season 1, Episode 12 ) This is classic Supernatural at its best, one of the show's earliest embraces of its classic rock soul. From the juxtaposition of Blue Oyster Cult over a questionable tent revival to the creepy introduction of Supernatural 's reaper community, "Don't Fear the Reaper" is one taken right out of Dean's box o' mullet rock. "Renegade" by STYX ("Nightshifter," Season 2, Episode 12 ) Even after heaven, hell and a handful of apocalypses, there are few episodes that capture the tension and terror that rule the Winchesters' lives as well as "Nightshifter." After holding our breath for an entire episode, that extended beat in the middle of "Renegade" is just cruel… and so, so perfect. "A Well-Respected Man" by The Kinks ("It's a Terrible Life," Season 4, Episode 17 ) It's the one where Dean dressed like Patrick Bateman, drank rice milk, drove a Prius and FROWNED when the stereo was too metal for his morning commute. <3 "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas ("Fan Fiction," Season 10 Episode 05 ) Sometimes this show is just too precious for this world. *SNIFF* "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)" by Rob Benedict ("Don't Call Me Shurley," Season 11, Episode 20 ) So unexpected. So raw. So good. "Heat of the Moment" by Asia ("Mystery Spot," Season 3, Episode 15 ) Because now we can't listen to this song without thinking of Sam losing his mind for an entire episode. "Beautiful Loser" by Bob Seger ("Exile on Main Street," Season 6, Episode 1 ) SUCH A PERFECT START TO SUCH A TERRIBLE SEASON. With Sam in hell, Dean got to live the Winchester fairy tale for a little while — and it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Turns out, it's hard to leave the hero-ing behind, even if it was mostly unsung and full of loss. I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying. "Night Moves" by Bob Seger ("Baby," Season 11, Episode 3 ) I can't believe it took 11 seasons for this show to somehow utilize this song. At least the wait was so, so worth it. With all the man tears and biblical angst, Dean and Sam don't often get these goofy slice-of-the-life moments. If "Carry on Wayward Son" is the Winchester rallying cry, then "Night Moves" is their lullaby. Enjoy the big day, Supernatural ! XOXO Supernatural returns for Season 12 Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9/8c.(Full disclosure: TVGuide.com is owned by CBS, the parent company of The CW.)
