They show a delayed Letterman here after school. I'll start watching it :awesome:

So who here has the Strict Joy DVD? I got the standard album and I'm wondering what the DVD contains.

me too actually

They didn't give much detail on The Frames official board, so I want to know if it's a concert from their first album or of it has a good amount of Strict Joy material. Also what Frames songs are on it if any? If it has Fitzcarraldo it'll be worth buying no matter what else.

I want someone to upload something from it so I know what it looks like. Oooh my birthdays coming up...*tells dad*

lol yeah that

I've got it, and up until tonight, I'd only seen the first 10 minutes. Your post inspired me to sit down and finally watch the whole thing. It's lovely, amazing and every other wonderful adjective you'd think. Several complete live performances, and lots of really cool behind the scenes stuff- Glen and Mar talking about recording the album, Glen talking about his guitar, Glen and Mar in the process of writing Low Rising, etc. The live performances are:

Say It To Me Now (Glen unplugged)

All The Way Down (w/ Mar on lead vocals)

a short snippet of Star Star

When Your Mind's Made Up

Lay Me Down (Glen solo- this one was new to me; it's absolutely gorgeous)

Falling Slowly (w/ choir)

cover of the Pixies' Gigantic (w/ choir) this one was awesome, but the mom in me kept thinking how wholly inappropriate it was to sing with 13 year olds! :P

I Have Loved You Wrong

Fitzcarraldo (!)

Once

 

Loved, loved it. Will definitely watch it again. The interviews and backstage video of Glen and Mar were all fantastic. I'd recommend picking it up if you can. And I apologize, but I've no idea how to upload something like that. :(

Falling Slowly (w/ choir)

:shocked3:

 

 

Definately gonna try get my dad to buy this for my birthday :P

Thanks for the info (Fitz!)

 

And yes Lay Me Down is an amazing Frames tune that sounds great acoustically.

This almost made me cry, it's insane how lovely it sounds!

 

You guys should definitely buy the Deluxe Edition, it's amaaaazing!

Nick, it also contains a live CD, and Fitzcarraldo is there too!

DP.

 

This is in a freaking elevator, and he still makes the best performance.

Amazing how great this song sounds acoustically, true display of the craft in the songwriting.

I'm obsessed with Glens acoustic (with an electric...) version of Pavement Tune (or I Want My Life To Make More Sense To Me as he calls it) from that NPR concert thing

My dad just ordered the x2 CD + DVD for me :nice:

i'm seeing them tonight! :D :dance:

Have lots and lots of fun man :dance:!!!

my seats are alright my parents are better so i'm having my dad take photos/vids... hopefully he'll get some good stuff. when I have it i'll post it.

 

now on my way to the show :D

haha, I want to be there with you :P

guess who got to meet Glen Hansard, and got a signed poster? :D

 

 

 

the show was incredible... completely exceeded my expectations

 

edit: will post pics/vids tomorrow :D

Ooohh! that's awesome, Mike. I plan to meet them at my show :P

I only got to meet Glen. Marketa didn't show up.

 

I get the impression that although they play music together they are quite distant. They didn't seem to really have much contact with each other during the show.

 

still... it was a hell of a show! If any of you have second thoughts, think nothing of it and just go... your mind will be blown! :D

:dance:

You're making me excited. Sounded like you had a good time!

 

Glen and Marketa used to be in a relationship apparently...
