Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Well, Glen Hansard of Irish band The Frames has been nominated (along with Marketa Irglova) for an academy award in the category of ‘Best Song’ for “Falling Slowly” from the film Once.

You could also describe it as a pretty slickly recorded demo, but I think mini EP seems a better descriptor. For the past [...]
