Fair play!
I woke up the other morning to find out Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won an oscar for best song from the film once. It is so good to see some Indie artists do good and get the reward they deserve. For those of you who don’t know them you can check out swell season or Glen’s band the frames. I haven’t actually seen the movie once yet, but i will soon as it has a lot of the whelan’s mafia in it. (term for everyone who hangs out in Whelan’s on wexford st in dublin).I am back in the studio today putting down some electric guitar.Last night i went to see Colm O’ Snodaigh from Kila launch his album and it was fucking great. Maith thu a chara.

‘Falling slowly’ of their album Swell season is near to perfect! But maybe the Oscar-song is another great track on the album? I haven’t seen the movie yet but I must agree with you! They deserve it! Maybe your own Oscar in 2009 for a new song of ‘A fire to scare the sun’ won’t be too far away. You’ll only need to find a great new movie, maybe for the sequal ‘Twice’
!
Good luck and enjoy the electric guitar!
