This weeks post is most definitely longer than usual but it seems the amount of great music touching my ears these days is nearly impossible to keep up with. I can embrace that with a smile. Just think of this as a double post. Also: I got a confusing message last week telling me that I should include downloadable links to the songs I mention in my blog. Everyone learns at their own pace I guess. So to avoid the confusion the words in red are links to places where you can gets em on your computer for [...]
Dead Man's Bones - Pa Pa Power (Gospel Remake) ( buy ) Thankfully the dramatic power of children's choir is not overused to make pastiche pop music. Dead Man's Bones (aka. Ryan Gosling and co.) properly uses a chorus in this reworked edit. And while your reaction may associate the sound and the hand claps with church, the lyrics suggest otherwise: "we won't destroy you / no we will not destroy you."
click image to view artist in itunes Sounds like: Devendra Banhart, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros what's so good? Maybe what makes this album even better is that for the first ten or so listens, I had no clue that one of the two members was Ryan Gosling of the movie Half Nelson, among others. Ryan put aside the acting (except when financial needs called, of course) to focus on his passion for music, teaming up with [...]
Skådisar som tar steget över till musiken, och vise versa, drar per automatik fram en viss skepsis i mitt huvud. Scarlett Johansson och Jared Leto är två exempel på när detta har förekommit. Men i de allra flesta fallen så har ju skepsisen visat sig vara helt obefogad (Joaquin Phoenix rap-karriär är väl ett tillfälle då det gått käpprätt åt dit pepparn växer). Och mycket riktigt, så är det också nu. I detta fallet är det två skådisar: Ryan Gosling (ni vet, den gudomligt stilige herren från The Notebook?) och Zach Shields (vad han har varit med i vetefan). Faktum [...]
Last day of September and a good time to reflect on the month as well as the eight previous months before it as we charge into the last quarter of 2009.There were tons of record release shows in September highlighted by The Happy Hollows, The Widow Babies, Mikki & the Mauses, HEALTH, Green & Wood, and Cobra Lilies. We highly recommend getting all those records when your budget allows it. We also
Pitchfork is like the Saruman of music blogs / web reportage. The smug Chicago writers have the all-seeing eye when it comes to new tracks and videos. What inconsiderate pricks they are frequently robbing me and countless others of some semblance of originality by posting a song before almost everyone else on a regular basis so it looks like we're all feeding on the drip of their mp3 folder. In the case of Dead Man's Bones I can't claim to be the first with it. Not even the first Irish blog to [...]
by Andrew Frisicano DOWNLOAD: The Almighty Defenders - Bow Down and Die (MP3) It's supergroup day on BrooklynVegan. Some of it is catch up news. We have a new MP3 and tour dates from the new Black Keys-related Drummer band , and then there's the signing of Dum Dum Girls whose first live show over the weekend brought together member of four other bands. Jack White's new supergroup The Dead Weather is streaming [...]
Mano, o Ryan toca piano tambem. Hah!! Faz tudo e tudo muito bem. Parafraseando as brilhantes moçoilas do Salt 'n Pepa: "What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!" ∆ Mossy, mas um! Uhuu!!
It's not too often that an actor or actress can successfully transition from working in films to making interesting music. If you're thinking Bruce Willis or Jennifer Love Hewitt bucked the trend, you should stop reading, because you're not going to like this. Ryan Gosling, however, who is probably best known for starring in "Lars and the Real Girl" and "The Notebook," is apparently a pretty good musician. His new project, Dead Man's Bones, is most noticeably reminiscent of Arcade Fire, if for nothing else than that press photo above. Seriously, though, check out the two [...]
Ryan Gosling joins the ranks of the infuriatingly talented by casually turning his hand to this music lark and being rather good at it.
Actor Ryan Gosling has decided to expand his repertoire in a somewhat unusual way. It's turns out that when he's not being awesome in movies like Half Nelson and Lars & The Real Girl, Mr Gosling dabbles in the world of music. After bonding with friend Zach Shields over music and 'creepy things', the pair decided to explore both avenues by forming a band. The project, named Dead Man's Bones was completed with the addition of an unusual third band member: the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir. The band have released [...]
Dead Man's Bones is a very strange idea for a band. A-List actor Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, Lars And The Real Girl, The Notebook) and his friend Zach Shields are accompanied by a children's primary school choir wearing Halloween costumes with only a drum and piano for instruments.
Dead Man's Bones (Los Angeles, CA) I'm all for actor's who become musicians. I don't see anything wrong with exercising your creative juices especially if you are good at your instrument. It's the same way I think there's nothing wrong with music bloggers playing in bands - Scott from Surfing On Steam is the very talented guitarist in The Meeting Places and yours truly plays bass in The
Saw this great video the other day for Dead Man's Bones which is Ryan Gosling the actor! The guy's got talent! I loved his movie Lars and the Real Doll and now it seems he can play/sing as well! The song/video is pretty dark & eerie which I love! Definitely gives me a goth feel. Love the organ he uses and the kids choir with all of them dressed in their Halloween costume is a genious idea! Here it is plus the mp3... MP3: [...]
Having seen Lars and the Real Girl at my favorite vegetarian indie movie theatre last year I developed a healthy respect for Ryan Gosling as an actor. We all know by now that Canada produces some fine musical talent, including our favorites A Trak and Feist , and it seems you can now count Ryan amongst this bunch. Thanks to the guys over at Bigstereo I stumbled across the video for Dead Man's Bones which features Ryan on keys and Zach Shields on drums. It is a [...]
W Ryanie Goslingu zaczęłam się kochać, kiedy obsmarowany samoopalaczem grywał w polsatowym serialu "Młody Hercules". Ale czas chałtur się skończył, potem była główna rola w "Fanatyku" i całej masie innych niezal produkcji. Ale Ryan Gosling olał kino, zamienił się w Nicka Cave'a i zacząl nagrywać takie piosenki. Dead Man's Bones - In The Room Where You Sleep (Live Version) Featuring The Silver Lake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir Sylwia
Así es como deberían ser las funciones de Navidad de los colegios: Con Ryan Gosling y su voz portentosa al piano interpretando una canción secundado por un coro de angelitos en Segundo de Primaria. El caso es que "In the Room Were You Sleep" tiene algunas de esas cosas que hacen grande a una...
Ask any lady, married or single, why the entire female population on Earth loves Ryan Gosling and you're sure to get an answer that rhymes 'votelook'. Me? I've always been a Half-Nelson kind of guy. Here's yet another reason to make the ladies swoon, Ryan Gosling's music project Dead Man's Bones . This musical outing has been in the works for a while now, but we found a live clip with Gosling and the Silver [...]
