dead man's bones

what's beautiful, has emotional depth, and is packed full of talent? if you answered "ryan gosling" then you are correct! but more than just ryan gosling, it's ryan gosling's two-man + children's choir band* that i'm talking about - dead man's bones.


it's a great mixture of eeriness, beauty, and fun.
i've been listening to them nonstop, especially late at night whilst reading my spooky books.  
here, have a listen:



what a deep, dreamy voice. sigh...
you should also check out their band website.
it's pretty awesome!



those kids you hear are local neighborhood kids from here in silverlake.  the choir is a part of the silverlake music conservatory, a non-profit started by flea {of red hot chili peppers} to provide musical experiences to kids who otherwise wouldn't be exposed to such opportunities.  lots of local musicians from the neighborhood get involved, including mr. gosling. i wonder if 29 is too old to join the children's choir...

  1. You'll never be too old, not at 29 not at 92 ;).

    You're ageless, so go hang out with Ryan and those amazing kids.

    Ryan is around our lives (and minds) it seems. Yesterday, some page in facebook asked what was the favorite romantic movie - why do people insist in these hard questions? Can I choose between my five finger?! ... right... - and The Notebook came to my mind because of..........:nicholassparksforgiveme:.......... Ryan!!!!

    The guy is "In the Room where We Dream" :love:
