I found this cover of Britney's Everytime by Glen!

He made the song so much better!!

'Course he did, he's Glen :rolleyes:

Haha, well that's true!

I heard him singing Cry Me A River too, hahah, was pretty nice!

This song (from the album 'Fitzcarraldo') is one of the best I've ever heard. It never gets old.

lucky man!

 

 

...can't wait to see them next year!

It was beyond incredible. It was basically The Frames + Mar as Colm, Joe, Graham, and Rob of the Frames were all there. They played People Get Ready and Red Chord (both Frames songs) which were awesome. It was soooo good, about 800 million times better than the Coldplay concert I went to last year.

what were, would you say, the top 5-10 songs they played?

People Get Ready was awesome

Red Chord was a huge surprise and sounded fantastic with Mar

 

But the three best were during Glen's acoustic set. He did Leave which was brutally sickly awesome, he did Say It To Me Now off of the mic like he sometimes does. But by far the best performance was his cover of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks where he went insane on his guitar, chopping away at the strings faster than anything I've seen while he was screaming and banging his head. It was filthy and unbelievable. The man is a God.

Here are some videos I found taken last night:

My seats were nowhere near these, I was up in the front of the balcony section, but I still got a great view of the whole show.

Just made music video of Low Rising. It's terrific.

It's really funny but also has a great message to it.

i did listened the frames time ago...

just a question, which songs/albums you'll recommend me to check first (to check the frames again) and to get into the swell season and once?

 

thanks in advance. :)

For The Frames: If you are into deeper, more melodic songs that are less rock-y (more Coldplay-esque perhaps) than I'd start with The Cost. Not a single weak spot on that album. But if you are more into rocking and want to hear the band's true beginnings, Fitzcarraldo is a classic. Really all their albums are fantastic, but those two make good starting points.

 

Swell Season: They only have two albums, so I'd go in order.

 

Once: Just go see the movie and you'll want to but the soundtrack. You'll never regret it.

 

Key songs are Falling Slowly, When Your Mind's Made Up, Fitzcarraldo, Sad Songs, Star Star, Lay Me Down, Pavement Tune, Seven Day Mile, Revelate, Fake, and The Dancer. IMO anyway.

 

Enjoy discovering the band that's so great they made me forget about Coldplay for 8 months. :)

I swear, the end part in The Rain is one of the coolest things ever.

I want to see it live!

It sounds awesome live, that and Low Rising.

Fuck. If I don't get tickets to the show their doing next year, I'll cry

You should cry if you don't. :sad:

Hopefully I will. There won't be set seating as they are playing at the NZ International Arts festival. They make a cool small tent thing each year, where they'll be playing. I'll get in early and grab seats in the front row :wacky:

Coolio

thanks for the advice, i started chronologically, but from recent to older albums.

 

i liked star star and the dancer a lot :)

newest album i found it more calmy :thinking:

 

i'll check swell season.

i don't think i'll can go see the movie, surely (knowning my luck about it) it won't be possible to do so.
