This is one of our favorite music videos of 2008. David Byrne never ceases to amaze us. If it wasn't for MTV the world could have been so much cooler. It's your fault too.

Pitchfork, this century's authority on music, has released a whopping 2008 list featuring the top 40 videos of the year. Yeah, that already-boring Beyonce one did make the cut, but that's the very least of this batch.

Woah! Jay and Bey are gonna get an annulment? At a Barack Obama fundraiser the other night, Jay Z was on stage when the DJ put on his centuries-old duet with his new bride. Jay went crazy, it was reported.

Storming to the mic, he yelled: "Fuck that. Sorry Bey, but fuck that - let's play something else."

Beyonce allegedly, and quite correctly, took offense and stormed off the stage... but not before tripping and falling down a flight of stairs. (Kidding!) [The Mirror]

Scanner Exclusive: Amy Winehouse is working with "Back In Black" genius boy/producer Mark Ronson on the theme for "Quantum of Solace," the next Daniel Craig Bond movie, due this October. Since "Quantum of Solace" is even easier to rhyme with than "Octopussy," Winehouse announced her latest track will be called "My Blakey Breaky Out o' Jail With Some O' Diss Crazy Spy Shit."

And workers in Finland figured out what we Americans have known all along-- divorce is a great excuse to not show up for work. They're going to pass a law to institute mandatory "Love Vacations." In other news, Erica Jong is officially irrelevant. [New York Times]
