Mogwai: "Batcat"

By John Lucas
Possibly the creepiest music video ever. If you didn't like Pan's Labyrinth, you're not gonna like this.

Legendary soul man Isaac Hayes died yesterday in Memphis at the age of 65. While he was arguably best known to anyone under 30 for providing the voice of Chef on South Park, he will also be remembered for albums such as Black Moses and Hot Buttered Soul and, of course, the Shaft soundtrack.

Jay-Z and Kanye West: "Jockin' Jay-Z"

By John Lucas
As Kanye West wrapped up a recent show at Madison Square Garden, he told the audience he was about to let them hear a new beat he had made. He then went one better and brought out the man for whom the beat had been made: Jay-Z. The song, which seems to be called "Jockin' Jay-Z" is apparently intended for Hova's upcoming Blueprint 3 album.

Fender to release David Gilmour Stratocaster

By John Lucas
David Gilmour fans, rejoice. In September, Fender will release a guitar based on the legendary Pink Floyd member's classic black Stratocaster. Sadly, Fender is offering no guarantee that the instrument's purchase will get you any closer to playing like Gilmour. If you want all the specs, click here. If you'd rather just hear the man himself play the original, see below.

Bono-bashers unite

By John Lucas
It seems you either love Bono or hate him. A few of those who fall into the latter camp are petitioning the U2 singer and lefty lobbyist to retire from public life, arguing that his efforts in the international arena are self-righteous and ineffective.

Vampire Weekend: "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"

By John Lucas
I'll admit I'm not a big Vampire Weekend fan. Something about extremely white trust-fund kids trying to play African pop doesn't quite work for me (and it doesn't work when Paul Simon or David Byrne does it either). But there's something slightly amusing about this video, which plays on two beloved teen-movie stereotypes: the popular preppy and the gothic outcast.

The Black Crowes vs. Gretchen Wilson

By John Lucas
The Black Crowes (remember them?) have accused country singer and self-professed redneck woman (like that's something to be proud of) Gretchen Wilson of ripping off their song "Jealous Again" for her new "Work Hard, Play Harder".

Russia to crack down on emo

By John Lucas
Perhaps attempting to avoid the sort of violence that has erupted in Mexico over emo music and fashion, a proposed new Russian law would effectively ban the style, which has become popular with young people worldwide.

Dr. Dre introduces headphones, readies new album

By John Lucas
As anyone who has ever listened to his music can tell you, Dr. Dre likes his music with a wide spectrum of frequencies, ranging from bowel-rumbling bass to high-pitched synth squiggles. So it makes sense that the rapper-producer wouldn't want people listening to his songs (or anyone elses's) with crappy equipment.

Devendra Banhart: "Carmensita"

By John Lucas
The song's in Spanish, but the video looks like the world's cheapest Bollywood musical. If the producers of an incredibly low-budget Bollywood musical could somehow afford to hire Devendra Banhart's girlfriend, that is. (That's Natalie Portman, for all of you who don't check TMZ and Perez Hilton twice an hour like we do.) Warning: if you play the following video you will have a brief glimpse of Banhart's pubic hair. Don't say we didn't warn you.
