Today in Pop News: Jackson's doc, ringtone rock and Oasis on the block.
Just when you thought it was safe to stop thinking about the mortality of pop superstars, Michael Jackson's former physician Dr. Conrad Murray is appealing his manslaughter conviction. Yes, everything about this is still terrible. Here's some kittens.
Speaking of the former Beatles copyright holder, you can now finally hear "Yesterday" the way it was meant to be heard: coming from your cellphone. iTunes has made 27 of the group's number one hits available as ringtones.
And maaaaaayyyybeeeeeeeeee this is going to be auction that saaaaaaaaaaaaves you: former Creation records head/Oasis discoverer Alan McGee is putting some of his extensive collection of Manchester/Britpop memorabilia up for sale. I bet it's almost as impressive as John Peel's record collection.
