Check them out on the road throughout the rest of the year Some guy named Oscar is buzzing about Sad Brad Smith and Up In The Air Posted 10/27/09 by Adam Markowitz on Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix blog: 'Juno' director Jason Reitman's latest, 'Up in the Air': Hear his hand-picked soundtrack star here According to my officemate Dave Karger, the George Clooney dramedy Up in the Air is set to be one of the major contenders in this year’s Oscar race. He’s thinking Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, for sure. Maybe he should add Best Song to that list: “Help Yourself,” an original composition by Chicago-based musician Sad Brad Smith, is featured during a pivotal wedding scene in the film. It’s not exactly the kind of upbeat anthem the Academy usually goes for, but the acoustic tune is a perfect fit for the movie’s melancholy mood. Posted 10/8/09 by Todd Martens on the LA Times Pop & Hiss music blog: 'Up in the Air': One of the year's best use of an original song in a film The trailer for George Clooney's upcoming Up in the Air starts flashily enough, with the opening swagger of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger." But the film is more quiet and subtle, and builds with more grace than the scraggly, trailer- ready guitar notes let on. Stick with the clip, and one can hear a glimpse of the film's musical centerpiece -- an original tune from heretofore unknown artist Sad Brad Smith. The song, "Help Yourself," arrives as Clooney's Ryan Bingham is making an emotional transition, and rolls along with a Simon & Garfunkel tenderness. It should be a shoo-in for an original song Oscar nomination -- if eligible, of course -- framing a pivotal moment in the film with warmth, as well as an irresistible melody.
