Ryan Gosling's band Dead Man's Bones music video.

By Ripe Newsdesk
In The Room Where You Sleep (live video version)
"In The Room Where You Sleep" (and Y-Control)

And now for something completley different. So, Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl, Half Nelson, The Notebook) is in a... wait for it.... a rock band!I know, it's true. A Hollywood actor who's in a band. Whoever heard of such a thing? Is there anything a movie star can't do?

Anyhoo, the music video is done entirely in one shot (impressive in a Scorsese film - not so much here) and has the backing vocals of a children's choir dressed up like a menagerie of Charles Adams. In fact Gossling said one of his major influences is the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Pretty good as influences go. I just think he didn't go far enough.

I'm a sucker for kid-choirs in rock (Pat Benetar used on in We Belong; Radiohead used a brief sample in 15 Steps from In Rainbows), and these guys - Silver Lake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir - are pretty good. But the video stinks. And it makes me miss the truly wicked children from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2004 video,Y-Control. (We can thank Spike Jonze for creating the bad-seeds who march over a dead dog in this one)

So here's "In The Room Where You Sleep" by Dead Man's Bones and Y-Control for comparison's sake.

The iconic comic talks about the biggest problem of the human race. The difference between men and women. Seinfeld does what he does best.
This is a list of the most anticipated and best 2009 Game Releases. If this doesn't get you excited about playing some new games, we don't know what will. Kiss your girlfriend goodbye.
They started doing backflips in motocross a while ago and people were stoked. Then they started doing variations, and people got more stoked. Now, there are monster trucks doing backflips? Check it out as Tom Meents attempts a backflip during competition.
This is Mr. T. rapping and having a good time with some youngsters. There really are no words for this video. Just watch.
This cool clip shows just how much work goes into making a graffiti masterpiece. With the heading of "wild and free", this artist paints a gem. Thanks to some sped up animation, we see it unfold quickly.
Hip Hop artist Cey Adams put together a book called DEFintion: The art and design of hip hop.He takes us from the 70's when hip hip was just beginning to now, where it has become a mainstream mainstay. Check out this clip as he and others give us a little piece of how hip hop has influenced art and vice versa.
Check out this clip from some drifting or car show. This guy, or idiot, thinks he's so cool, that he gets out of his car while it's still in a turning spin. Then, "surprisingly", he gets run over by his own car.
Here is a clip of a motorcycle rider doing a wheelie at a pretty decent speed along a road. Unfortunately, he loses control and begins to wobble and eventually, that's right, he crashes. Probably not the outcome he was looking for.
