Carla Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 My recommendation: Star Star. I posted the vid up there...it's a brilliant song. Listened to it and it really is such a great song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twizted Logik Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 bump, I'm a recent Frames fan myself. :D a bit like Radiohead, with a little Coldplay mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 -Chris get in this thread- I'm ordering For The Birds tomorrow! :dance: I'm slowly getting each album and trying to enjoy them before getting the next. Also, I stubled across this blog about a night at a Swell Season concert: Saturday night we caught The Swell Season and Martha Wainwright at the Variety Playhouse. The Swell Season, featuring Glen Hansard from the Irish band the Frames, and Czech singer/songwriter Marketa Irglova stared in the movie Once and provided the music as well. It was an amazing movie and their live set was incredible. They played almost everything from the movie in addition to some Frames’ songs, and even a great Pixies‘ song, Cactus. Glen told a great story about the last time the Frames were in Atlanta; they played the Echo Lounge and he hit his head on a nail sticking out of the ceiling. When he came too, Chris Martin from Coldplay was holding him in his arms. Funny http://nickmickolas.wordpress.com/2007/11/21/bloggers-the-swell-season-the-hold-steady-art-brut/ :stunned: :rolleyes: And also apparently Chris did a recording of a song called "Lovely Day" with The Frames? A Coldplay-Frames live performance would probably make me kill myself, as no moment for the rest of my life could ever be as amazing. I must find this song, and they must play a show together! :whip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yes! Another Frames fan. I love Another Love Song. Every song on there is so carefree and catchy. Picture of Love fucking owns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 since i listenned to "the dancer" you posted somewhere in the board i didn't move to another album of them i should try the others right road/wrong road is so energy, i think that's what i like about The Frames :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Oh I remember that :lol: If I can help make one more Frames fan I can be happy with that :) Right Road / Wrong Road is another great track. You should def. check out Fitzcarraldo, their second album. The song itself and the album are so good I named my username after them! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 :lol: you succeded anyway :D ok gonna listen to this one, thanks does fitz mean something? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Listening to another Frames album, best decision you'll ever make :cool: They and Coldplay are constantly flipping back and forth as my favorite bad :uhoh: Fitzcarraldo (the song) was written about a movie of the same name about a man named Fitzcarraldo who had to carry a ship over a mountain to achieve his crazy dream. An unreal movie, and an even better tune. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i see to tell you i'm just fan of them not as much as i'm a coldplay fan, but they're great, now i'm just discovering them ok thanks for the explanation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah I don't expect you to like them as much as you love Coldplay :P But you might love them equally someday. That is what happened with me. I thought no band could ever come close to Coldplay, but then I found The Frames! Enjoy the music, I know you will! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 hahah :lol: it will surely happen like what happened to me with radiohead 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 What happened with that? Total obsession? I'm a massive Radiohead fan as well. But to me...The Frames are way better than Radiohead. They actually have a lot of songs that sound like Radiohead. Like "In This Boat Together" on the Fitz album sounds a lot like "The Tourist" by Radiohead.

Ahlem Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 yeah total obsession :lol: oh i like a lot this song so probably i will like the frames's one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Probably. A lot of their songs have a Radiohead-like edge to them. Yet they also have softer songs that are similar to Coldplay's. Yet they also have rock out songs like AC/DC. It's like they do everything. :rolleyes4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Chris did you see the post I put on the last page? About Glen Hansard and Chris Martin? BTW do you have all the albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yes, it was really really surprising! And I've heard all the albums but I only own burn the maps, most of the cost and misc. other tracks like star star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 That just sounds like the coolest moment ever, Chris cradling Glen! :P How can you have heard all the albums and still not have them as your favorite band? I still have yet to hear For The Birds and Burn The Maps (except for singles like Lay Me Down and Fake), and the live album Set List and they are still tied with Coldplay for me. There is not a single Glen Hansard song I have heard that I do not love. And that's more than I can say about Coldplay. :( So what are your favorite Frames songs?

Pseudonym Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 So I got For The Birds. It's great, but not as good as Fitz and Dance The Devil. Not yet anyway. Lay Me Down of course is terrific though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlem Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 hey Nick do you know if there's official vids for Martha and The Dancer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 hey Nick do you know if there's official vids for Martha and The Dancer? Not one for Martha. There is one for Dancer, but God Speed trying to find it. Damn near impossible. However, part of it is mixed in with this interview: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEfM2ZLQ9gY]YouTube - The Frames - The Dancer[/ame] EDIT: If it doesn't play, just click the Title-link! You can see Glen's crazy long hair compared to his much shorter hair now! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
