A big congratulations to Glen Hansard and Maketa Irglova for their Oscar for best original song, "Falling Slowly." Here's their live performance from the Oscars and the award and speeches...
A really great performance by Mark Ronson and friends at the Brit Awards...
Creation's Dark came out last month, and though past DBT discs have left me enthralled, I initially ignored this one. Took it for granted, disregarded it as more of the same. Dependably great, sure, but there were bigger, more exotic fish to fry. The Truckers had made it look so easy for so long, but [the song] "Bob" forcefully proves that it's not, and it's never been. It keeps you honest, and it scares you straight.
A last word: There Will Be Blood, the soundtrack, is awesome. Watch the movie, drink the milkshake.
