hmm i havent seen this movie. maybe i should.

 

my fav frames album is fitzcarraldo. and I like the frames better. the swell season is good too, though. well everything glens done is good haha.

I found them exactly the same way you did, Nick.

My mum forced me to watch Once...me thinking I'd hate it....loved it...etc

 

Oh and, They've changed the venue I'm seeing The Swell Season at... It's more of a theatre kind of venue which sucks in some ways because it would have been awesome to see them in a really small tent

 

the same. My brother dragged me to see once, was blown away by it, and started researching glen hansard and the band when I got home.

Am I the only one who wanted to see this movie? :rolleyes:

 

I found the trailer on Netflix and thought it was a movie about people playing guitar on a public bus. I was close.

You definitely should. It's fucking fantastic, it's what got Glen noticed in the States!

 

I love that album. And I too like The Frames a bit more.

 

My favorite album is The Cost though. Just so great.

yeah the cost is great too. its hard to choose a fav album haha.

Yeah, mostly cuz they're all so different. For raw intense rock, gotta be Fitzcarraldo. For folky rock, For The Birds. For alternative, The Cost. They're all over the place. :dizzy2::rolleyes3::rolleyes4:

hahaha indeed.

it's funny cuz a little while back my user name on here was Fitz for about a year. my tribute to the great song.

 

Did you know that song was written for a movie of the same name which Glen saw as a lad? It's a fantastic movie, I highly recommend it. But see once first, it's necessary. :D

which movie is it?

haha will do, i promise.

it's also called Fitzcarraldo.

oh sorry i read that wrong. i thought it was the name of a character or something.

well...it's that too :lol:

 

An album, song, movie, and character in that movie all have the same name. :rolleyes:

A full video Frames concert from 2007. Surfaced on the official messageboard.

 

Eat it up while you can, full Frames concerts are really rare in this quality.

wow. awesome. thank you.

I've known about that vid for so long...

Then why didn't you post it?

 

 

 

See that? See how I turned it around there? Now you're on the spot.

I thought you'd know about it :uhoh:

Yeah, well...you thought wrong.

 

[/shrek quote]

 

Seriously though, if you find or know about any large quantity of Frames material, POST IT! That's what this thread is for. :D

Well, I bet you guys have seen this already, but I have to post this.

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcvgCdFazgA]YouTube- Glen Hansard Red Chord Last Goodbye Other Voices 2004[/ame]

This is real music.

Freaking brilliant.

Other Voices was brilliant. Glen showcasing his own awesomeness.

 

Red Chord..that one brings me back..

I have to learn that song on guitar! The chords are pretty easy, if I've got them right, but his strumming is kinda the problem, as I am not that good at strumming really fast :P.

Yeah the chords are really basic. Capo 4: C (add high G), then F (add high G), then Am, G, and F. Basically that's it.

 

The strums in the verse are really simple, but yeah at the end when he does his patented 16th strums it does get challenging if you're not used to them. For me the hardest part is hitting the high "pulls you back to me lord, yeaaah" at the end.

Ah, ok, so the ones at the Frames site are correct? I think I got it pretty right down!

Yeah, I'm still struggling with the 16th strumming, that dude strums so darn fast in almost every song!

 

It's a wonderful song though, I usually get into to these song when I've heard them acoustic then suddenly I love the album version as well!

Yeah that fast strumming is just a matter of practice. Took me a few months to get it down right so that I could use it at will. You may get some charred up knuckles in the process. :wink:

 

What's amazing is when he does 'Astral Weeks' by Van Morrison, because of the fast tempo and the a-rhythmic strumming it sounds like he's doing 32nd notes as full chords. Glen is insane.

Interview with Glen at the Choice Music Prize - http://irishmusictelevision.com/?p=1000

 

Glen answers more questions as to the future of The Frames and The Swell Season.

 

Summary: Likely 1 more Swell Season record as they already have a skeleton written and recorded. Glen expects to be busy until next February (including some Frames tours) and then take 6 months off, before possibly making another Frames record.

Cool.

 

Fuck.

Sweet, thanks for posting that Plastic!

 

I am over 18 and I just printed the FREE sheet music! :D

 

I will see if I can muster my band up to attempting this song. Maybe we'll win!

 

At the very least, I got the free sheet music. :wink:
