Gorillaz has recently debuted their new video “Doncamatic” on MySpace. The selection of “Doncamatic” as a single was peculiar, given that guest performer Daley is responsible for nearly all of the song’s vocals, and the video is equally odd. The video finds Daley piloting a submarine through turbulent waters, before eventually finding his way to the “plastic beach.” Check it out down below.
I don’t know about you guys but, when I first heard the debut single from Lykke Li’s new album, I began to eagerly anticipate the release of its accompanying video. After all, the song was entitled “Get Some.”
Yesterday, that video arrived via PitchFork. But, its not at all what I was expecting. Absent is the innate sexuality of the song. In its place is an almost cult-like call to arms. Check out the slightly disappointing video down below, along with Li’s upcoming tour dates.

Having released the original two versions of 19 year old Cleveland musician Dylan Baldi, aka Cloud Nothings’ first album Turning On on his label Bridgetown Records last year, Kevin Greenspon has now created a split with the budding artist.
The split begins with five songs by Greenspon, featuring Travis von Sydow/Ancient Crux on drums and includes a cover of “No Paws”. Cloud Nothings then ends the track list with five tracks that are not on the re-issue of the Carpark/Witchita re-issue of Turning On.
Only 250 of these limited edition splits are currently being released, including full color inserts and a lyrics sheet.
The Decemberists have detailed a very extensive tour to support their upcoming full-length. Ironically excluding the month that is in their name, the band has a tour schedule that sees them traveling the globe from January to March.
The band is set to release their newest album, The King Is Dead on January 18th via Capitol Records. You can watch a short preview of the record below.
