for fans of the much loved movie, once, and/or glen hansard of the frames, he and cast mate, marketa irglova will be performing at the variety on 11.17 under the moniker the swell season. they will be performing tracks off the soundtrack and from what i hear the shows have been awesome. here are a couple of frames tracks, they as a band are pretty cool.

fitzcarraldo live – highly recommended!

by the way, if you are a califone fan i have reposted the first disc to the goodbye cheater comp over at thanksfornothin – disc two will be posted tomorrow. i will be using that site, amongst other thing, to repost some stuff that i think is worth revisiting.

i dont really talk about neko case too much, cause there’s really not much to say. sure, she writes wonderful songs, has one of the best voices in all of music and is mildly hot, but frankly, over the years, she seems like she has grown to be a pain in the ass. i have absolutely nothing to back this up whatsoever, other than a gut feeling and in all likelihood its probably just me. anwyay, the only reason i bring her up is because i do love her music, and while i was on the anti site i stumbled across a couple of my favorite neko tracks and here they are…

i’m mildly intrigued by atlanta’s tiger! tiger! brand of punk meets old school r&b meets garage rock. what drew me in, initially, was that damn organ they use ever so effectively. i am a huge sucker for a rollicking organ – it probably stems from my non-reciprocated love affair with nancy faust. like i said, i was pulled in by the organ but stuck around for lead tiger! buffi aguero’s sultry crooning. with that sultriness comes a hint of pent up agression that manifests into a kind of sybil like quality about her which makes the experience even more interesting. check em out…

tiger! tiger!’s new record, the kind of goodnight, is out now, i believe, on chick ranch records.

so you dont decieve me
