I can’t ever turn down an opportunity to talk about Ryan Gosling and his band, Dead Man’s Bones. I really have missed hearing Ryan singing from the MMC days. I know that I didn’t ever really to get to hear him back then either. But he seems to have everything, a great actor and a great singer. (I wonder if he can still dance?) Ryan and Zach Shields shot this documentary with Pitchfork about getting ready for one of their shows. I thought it was neat to see how it really comes together with the choirs that they use at every show.
Now all I need to do is see them at a show. I wonder when they are coming to Canada?
I always get excited when I find MMC (The New Mickey Mouse Club) alumni doing things. As you know Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, and JC Chasez were all on the show too. (My favorite of the bunch Tony Lucca also has a singing career too!) Now if I haven’t confused you enough I’m going to introduce Matt Morris to the mix. He was just signed onto Justin’s record label, Tennman Records. And from what I have seen of Matt he will go far. Who are we to doubt Justin?
Matt was on the Ellen Degeneres Show and even did one song with Justin. It just seems so surreal sometimes to see these MMC guys grown up. It means that I grew up too. Something I hate to admit.
I was spoiled back as a teenager. I lived in the middle of nowhere and we had a satellite dish. I got a chance to watch all the American stations I wanted. Among them, the Disney channel. I used to watch the new MMC every day! It was on at 5:30 (the time that we ate supper at) so I would record it on the handy dandy VCR. And then I would go over to my friends house and watch the tapes all weekend.
This is the same show that Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell and Britney Spears got their start. But my favorite one isn’t in this list, my favorite MMCer was Tony Lucca. And this was one of my favorite videos they did on the show that features him singing . I am very excited because I am going to interview Tony. I thought it would be cute as the teenage girl in my had posters of him all over my walls and now the adult me (and Tony) have come so far since then. (I can tell you one thing Tony’s music rocks!)
If you are a fan of Tony’s and have any questions for him pleas add them to the comments.
Back in the 90’s there was a lot of sweet things….New Kids On The Block, Warrant and mostly The New Mickey Mouse Club. I was only one of the many people in our high school that could actually watch that show, because they didn’t have cable out in the middle of nowhere, and I had a satellite dish. And watch it I did!
Four kids in this picture have gone on to do great things…can you pick them out? Find out who they are after the jump!
