The Swell Season/Once (the movie)

blacknapkins

I'm putting this in the Other Music folder because it's about music. See this film, buy the soundtrack, try to check out The Swell Season live. (Or just check them out on Leno tonight.)

I'm not kidding. We saw them on friday and they are really, really good. I'm talking about songs you can't get out of your head.

I looked around for another thread before I started this one, but not too thoroughly apparently. Thanks for letting me know ... I'll look again.

Thanks! I know I'm finding this late, but I'd pretty much given up on movies and television (we just watch hours of Eddie Izzard stand-up on YouTube lately - television is dead.) This film was refreshing and seeing Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova perform on friday was lovely.

bedface cooper.

Fallen in love with the Frames last year, when I accidentally saw them at a festival. Then have fallen for 'Leave' since Mr Hansard played it during their gig in Munich this year and did a bit of research and so on....
Still haven't seen the movie though. :(

The Swell Season gig from July 26 (Washington D.C.) is available to download!

It's the latest podcast from NPR's All Songs Considered (all one and a half hours of it). Get it through the iTunes Music Store by searching under 'All Songs Considered' (or, if you're not using iTunes, by subscribing to the podcast here: http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/)

You can also stream it from here:

The iTunes download is free by the way.

I guess I'll temporary lift my boycott of television to catch them on Leno tonight.

In the meantime, I'll be spending some time watching this (and whatever else pops up:)
