Re: Swell Season- No Interview, But Great Show Anyway
Well, Ted left out some details. There was this cute girl a few rows ahead of us, and after a pep talk from Rosemary I decided to ask her to marry me. But just as I was asking, I realized it was actually a guy with long hair, (and very nice skin). It was pretty awkward after that...

Swell Season- No Interview, But Great Show Anyway
You may not have heard of The Swell Season, but if you saw the movie Once, then you've heard their music. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova were the stars of the amazing little movie with such powerful songs. They are now touring the US...

Swell Season Sighting!
