How many movies is Ryan Gosling going to be in this year? Between “Crazy, Stupid, Love”, “Drive” and now “The Ides of March”, the guy has a lot to promote these days. Good thing he’s a good actor and tends not to choose crap projects. Which also reminds me – George Clooney, also in “The Ides of March”, has another movie coming out soon called “The Descendants”. That’ll make two for him this year. But perhaps nobody is having a bigger, more crowded year than Jessica Chastain. She went into 2011 basically unknown, but is emerging as one of the hot new stars to watch. Her grand total will be 7 movies by the time 2011 is up. That’s less from being a workaholic and more from having movies already made but unreleased now finally all getting unleashed at once. Best of luck to her in handling all that. Oh, why am I talking movies? It’s Friday, there’s new stuff out, and I’m out of topics to discuss otherwise. Let’s get into Pick Your Poison for today. I’ll send some love in the direction of artists like And So I Watch You From Afar, Big Tree, Breathe Owl Breathe, Dreamers of the Ghetto, Leema Mountain, Misfits, The Mommyheads and Tennis System. In the Soundcloud section, you can stream some excellent new tracks from Guillemots and Iceage. Enjoy your weekend!
