Judge Not...

Listening to NPR on the plane from Detroit to LA. Bob Boilen's Fall Music Preview, probably a few days/weeks old. They start talking about Dead Man's Bones. This has all of the proper elements, I'm going to HATE this crap. As the panel talked about them, I literally got excited to trash them. Children's choir singing on every track? Oh, how dramatic and pretentious. Successful actor (Ryan Gosling) as lead singer? Yawn. Halloween music? Christ, you've got to be kidding me. It's AMAZING. Just bought it two nights ago. Unbelievable atmosphere and space, really tight quirky sound. The children's choir is integral, I can't imagine the songs without the choir. So once again, I love being proven wrong... At least when it isn't my girlfriend or family.

Listen here. "In The Room Where You Sleep" Dead Man's Bones
