This week, Damon Albarn's cartoon supergroup Gorillaz premiered the video for their new single "Doncamatic (All Played Out)," which comes out November 22nd on a remix EP. The song features relative unknown guest vocalist Daley, a debonair Mancunian with a uniquely androgynous vocal style (he's been mistaken for a female singer in some blogs) and an even more unique hairdo that gives similarly towering-tressed pop stars (La Roux, Janelle Monae, "X Factor" twins John & Edward, Ryan Cabrerra, Flock Of Seagulls) some serious coif competition.

"Doncamatic" is, as is the case with all Gorillaz projects, a fabulous video and single. But its debut has fans wondering...just who is this Daley fellow?

Well, online info on Daley, even on his own MySpace and Facebook pages, is scarce. He aptly describes his sound as "neo-soul, pop, and R&B, infused with ambient/experimental vibes," and he's apparently been recording and performing for a while now. But his Gorillaz guest spot is his first big

Fitting for the background of a Super 8 home movie or the soundtrack to a Wes Anderson film, Philadelphia-bred indie band Good Old War has such silky three-part harmonies you'd think their scraggly beards gave them vocal powers like a trio of biblical Samsons (but please, no one try to mythbust this). The band was founded by lead vocalist Keith Goodwin and drummer Tim Arnold and rounded out the group with guitarist Daniel Schwartz. Like how *NSYNC is an acronym made up of the last letters of the former boy band members' first names, Good Old War is derived from the members' last names: 'Good' for Goodwin, 'Old' for Arnold, and 'War' for Schwartz.

The band began after Goodwin's band Days Away, which he founded in eighth grade with Arnold joining in college, came to an end of after over ten years of sonic operation. But having already booked a tour with high school bud Anthony Green, the pop-driven Goodwin and Arnold brought on Schwartz's strong alt-country style and set out to create a

Mark Salling may seem like an overnight success story: Last year, no one knew who he was, and now, the whole world knows him as Puck, the resident faux-hawked bad boy on the phenomenally successful TV show "Glee." But before Mark got the call to audition for that role of a lifetime, he was just another starving L.A. artist, teaching guitar lessons to make ends meet and on the verge of moving back in with his parents after spending seven years in Hollywood without a break. He literally only had $300 in his bank account.

"I decided to go full force with music, and after years of struggling--and it is hard to crack into the music business in Los Angeles if you don't already have the following; you can play the Roxy or the Viper Room till you're blue in the face, but you're not going to make a lot of money--I was kind of spinning my wheels. And as a last resort before I had to move back home with my parents in Dallas, I was like, 'You know what? I'm in L.A., let's see if I can get some

Alice Glass, the fearsome frontwoman for the face-meltingly freaky Canadian electro band Crystal Castles, came in at #1 on NME 's "Cool List" of 2008...and now she's collaborating with pretty much THE coolest person of all time.

Yes, prepare to wet your skinny jeans, indietronica fans: Toronto techno terrorists Crystal Castles have recorded a duet with Robert Smith of the Cure. And it's every bit as clove-smokingly hawt as you'd imagine:

The single is actually a remake of Crystal Castles' recent album track "Not In Love," which is in fact a remake of a 1983 hit by hair band Platinum Blonde. And we're pretty much in love with it right now, since it sounds like an awesome outtake from the Cure's own 1983 synth-goth opus, Japanese Whispers.

Still, the track sounds extremely current, since there are few vocalists of the past 25 years who have had such a direct influence on modern rock as Sir Smith. (Listen to Bloc Party, Glasvegas, the Rapture, Kenna, the Black Kids, et al, for proof
