aaaand i’ve now officially been listening to this on repeat all morning
*cough*… second album… hemmm
*cough*… technically they were just Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova when their first album came out. That album was called “Swell Season” but the band did not yet go by that name.

We both win.
This is really great.
a calmer and gentler swell season. Less Van Morrisony. Or maybe Van Morrisony in a different way…
Van is the Man, after all.
*cough* A friend of mine had a man date with Glen when he was in Austin for the Paramount show.
I couldn’t stand Once, but the music was great. I’d watch their ACL performance 100 times before I watched the movie again. Now, if you want to watch a freaking Glen Hansard movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sdic9JQhMo
