One last un-Christmassy entry that I've been waiting to post for months...
Today's the day that Once is released on DVD. This is a film about a busking musician in Dublin, and the Czech girl he meets, and the way they inspire each other, musically and otherwise. It's my favorite movie of the year, and I've seen No Country for Old Men.
This is the scene where they perform in the studio for the first time, and the hired-hand producer slowly realizes he's got something good here.
Glen Hansard, the guitarist, is a huge Van Morrison fan as well. So here are a couple covers he does: one of "Into the Mystic"...
...and a very intense version of "Astral Weeks."
I can't say enough good things about this movie, so I'll keep this simple. If you've not seen it yet, do.
