SQUEE! Glen & Marketa just won the Oscar!

I am overjoyed they got the recognition they deserve for one of the most beautiful, fitting songs to be in a film.

Congratulations, Glen & Mar. Keep making music.

You know, a friend recommended this song to me, but I haven't actually tracked it down/heard it yet!

You have to give them a listen sometime. I saw the film Once about a month ago and have been practically obsessed with the music from the film ever since. My husband and I are going to see them at Radio City Music Hall in May - I can't wait. (I occasionally have massive fangirl moments, despite my age - 30 - and education.)

The film's MySpace page, with clips of the music.

YouTube clip of the song "Falling Slowly" in the film.

Same song, performed at the Oscars.

Another great one - "When Your Mind's Made Up.

The DVD of the film is in Blockbuster, Netflix, and for sale. And the soundtrack is on iTunes, Amazon, etc. (#1 seller on iTunes and Amazon.com, I think).

No need to worry about that - I have a lot of massive fangirl moments, and I'm 26 ;)

Thanks for those links!

Good. I think they keep me young (well, that and the fact that I'm still carded regularly).

You're welcome!

PS - I friended you. No need to friend back if you don't want to. I don't post very often anymore - when I do I usually just link to something. I used to write more but got out of the habit.
