If you've been poking around lately on those music blogs they have on the interwebs, chances are you've heard a thing or two about the new ANTI- signing, Dead Man's Bones, which also happens to be the band of Half Nelson/The Notebook/bunch of other stuff movie star, Ryan Gosling. Now, the music of Dead Man's Bones doesn't move me in any particular way, good or bad; it's just kind of there. "Gothic folk," as they say, complete with a kinda-creepy children's choir.

It was a faraway beach at sunset. Will Turner lightly kissed Elizabeth Swan's leg and headed out for 10 years of captaining the Flying Dutchman, and audiences of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End were left with more questions than answers. What would happen, the crowd wondered (perhaps skeptically, seeing that this was already a sequel to a sequel), in 10 years when the lovers reunited? Over the course of a lonely decade, would the loopy, eye-shadow-smeared embrace of Capt. Jack Sparrow start to look attractive to the husband-deprived Mrs. Turner? We were less worried about young Will; not... read more
