Madonna, Aerosmith bag MTV awards
Madonna, currently riding a critical and commercial wave with her best selling album in years, has picked up three honours in the professional section of the 15th annual MTV Video Music Awards. British techno band Prodigy won two awards for its controversial song Smack My Bitch Up, while rockers Aerosmith and Green Day, rapper/actor Will Smith and Australian chanteuse Natalie Imbruglia picked up one award each.

This smells like Teen-Spirit
The elements are all in place. There isn't a chair misplaced or a stray crumb on the floor; outside a Saturday sky is a nutritious deep electronic blue; inside a girl makes her way past me cutting through a room full of air, water, the sharp smell of money, empty talk of California, microwaves, credit cards, frequent flyer programmes, shampoo, high grade recreational pharmaceuticals. These are the DJ finals.
