Not sure if this has been posted before, but it's a song Glen wrote for the upcoming movie "The Hunger Games". He played it on the latest solo tour and it was amazing live...
this is from a private performance he did a few days ago - there are a couple more vids on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBiGC1XBcXs |

damn, it wasn't private when I posted it... maybe someone asked to take it down? Maybe Glen? I remember he asked not to post anything on youtube when he played new songs in Rome a couple months ago...
it was great, anyway... sorry you arrived late |

NPR music is streaming the original cast recording from the Broadway musical for a limited time.
http://www.npr.org/2012/02/27/147514...recording-once It's a little strange hearing others perform the songs, but its' nice. |

Once has now moved from off-broadway to Broadway. My husband bought tix for us to see it next month. Really looking forward to it, even though my friend was disappointed by the off bway production.

I finally saw the Swell Season documentary. I was surprised there was nudity, pleasantly. So is the full on 1970s bush an Irish thing, a Czech thing?

We went to see Once on Broadway this past weekend. Though a friend of mine had said she was not impressed with it while it was still off-Broadway, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the show. At first, it was odd that Glen & Marketa weren't the ones on stage, but Steve Kazee won me over in the role of "Guy" after the opening number, "Leave". Unfortunately, I was not as impressed with the female lead - she's got a lovely voice - but it seemed as though she was trying too hard (if that makes sense). They've made some changes in the story for the stage adaptation, but it definitely stands on its own. Not that awards mean anything, but it makes me happy that they lead the 2012 Tony Award nominations (that came out today) with 11 in total.

No real big changes in the story, just minor ones to facilitate the stage production. One thing that I absolutely loved is the fact that the actors (who all are musicians as well) come out on stage and start playing songs to the pub crowd. The audience is encouraged to go up on the stage and stand around the piano, the guitars, mandolins etc as they serenade us in the pub set. As it's a pub, of course they sell pints (and wine) on the stage as well. Once the audience finds their seats, the story seamlessly begins with the guy being asked to play one of his songs, and Steve Kazee breaks into 'Leave'.

Once the Musical won like a sh.t-ton of Tony's: Best Musical, Best book of aMusical (don't know what that means), Best Leading Actor, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Orchestration, Best scenic Design, Best Lighting Design, and Best Sound Design.
Thought that was impressive.

Yes, the book is all the other words that aren't sung. The lyrics and music are the libretti/score.
In other news, I have to say the wildest thing about this thread is that when I started it, could never have imagined how all these years later this sweet little film would have become a smash hit to the point where it was winning Academy and multiple Tony awards or even being adapted into a Broadway show or that my pal Lucas would be a cast member of it. Crazy world, innit?

You can listen in Spotify the cd of the new cast: "Once a new musical"
It sounds close to the original, except for the new "Marketa".

I just got home from Glen and Lisa's show in Chicago. And I am still blown away. That was the best show I've ever seen and I've seen some fuucking shows. So much passion 3 encores.
Post more later but interesting tids. Lisa keeps a ribbon of green tied around the neck of her guitar. Hmmmmm. Cheers darling'. Glen mentioned that the first time he played the Vic was opening for Damien and Lisa. I sat in the exact same seats (front row) tonight as I did at that show 8 or 9 years ago. Better company this time though. Anne but made me miss Damien live. Come back to the US bro. Pulled up 2 ten year olds to perform his songs. They were fantastic. Congrats Ethan and Fredo!!! Great job! Standing O great covers tonight too. Astral weeks, Night they drove old Dixie down. Gold. Heyday(at my request). Auld triangle. Somebody I used to know. A josh ritter song and another Band song too, can't remember. Too many guinesses. Also tonight confirms it. I am madly in love with Lisa. Marry me!!!!

Yes you are correct. They said they played this when they were touring with Josh. But definitely is from the 20s or 30s

From Glen's new Hot Press interview. Didn't know Damien worked on the Once musical???
While instantly dismissive of being in the show itself, Glen and one of his celebrity pals tutored Steve Kazee in how to be a Dublin street musician. “I advised him to go busking, so he took a road-trip across the States with his guitar and sang for his supper. Most people who sing into microphones know nothing about belting it, but he learned to project. We talked about the pushing and pulling of lines ‘cause the problem with Broadway singers is they tend to sing on the line, so it’s flat. I told him, ‘Sing it like you’re hungover or go get drunk. Dirty it up a bit’. Damien Rice, who was staying in my flat, also helped Steve. Just by singing, he was able to communicate to the cast the difference between singing something ‘on’ and something ‘off’. Damien’s a master of that stuff. We left him alone for a while, then went back on opening night and, wow, the difference! He’d really made the songs his own. I was able to hand on heart walk up to Steve and say, ‘Brilliant! Whatever ownership we had on this, it’s yours now.’” |

OK, guys and gals. Some of you are quite knowledgeable, so give me all you have, proper, creepy halloween stuff.
Glen. And Mar. Playing Falling Slowly. In 2003. The implications are not too nice, especially not for the creep factor. Does anyone know anything that would make things right?

To be fair, he looks at almost everyone he sings with that way...
