star, star, teach me how to shine
Jul. 31st, 2007 11:31 amMan oh man, I hope I didn't give Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová--of The Swell Season and the movie ONCE, plus he of The Frames and THE COMMITMENTS--the plague o' DOOM at last Thursday night's concert.
( Full account of the Swell Season concert, what ONCE means to me, and meeting a couple people on the verge of fame (and them not knowing how the hell to react) )
And the best part is, NPR recorded the entire concert, so I can actually relive one of the best damn concerts I've ever attended. It's totally worth a listen; besides their own songs, they cover the Pixies "Cactus," Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic," and even threw in a simply magical touch of... well, I won't spoil it... that had me just grinning by the end of the show. I've never been to a concert where, three quarters of the way through, I'm simply smiling. Fantastic.
