After all the show-biz broadway-esque performances at last night’s Oscars, it was great to see Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova win for "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once".

Glen is a fellow dubliner (hard not to notice based on his acceptance speech) that you may remember from "The Commitments" (another good movie).

I haven’t seen "Once" but I’ve heard the soundtrack and can honestly say "Falling Slowly" is not the only great song here. Checkout "When Your Mind’s Made Up" [LINK] and "Leave" also.

Glen is also the lead singer in "The Frames" who’re also worth checking out. If you can find it, look for the live version of "The Stars Are Underground".
