Lisa Hannigan needed her own mic here, but still a solid live version.

I like the crazy thick Irish accent on Lisa during her short solo. But yeah, I agree the original female singer is a bit more refined.

agree - plus, Once was one of the first music-related connections my daughter and I had. She began playing violin, guitar and singing.. and going to shows with me - the rest is history.  So that's cool.

now, she sends me texts of bands to check out..

Here's some Swell Season covering Van Morrison.

love this too.. Jon Stewart bringing Marketa back out because she got short-changed in her Oscar acceptance speech.

going joke in certain circles about how The Gaslight Anthem and Brian Fallon solo stuff (along with his time with The Horrible Crowes) are inspired almost too much by Springsteen.

by the way, there is no such thing as being too inspired by Springsteen.

This tune sounds like it could be a Springsteen outtake circa '85 or so.

NEW FOO FIGHTERS

They still make great videos.

Dave Grohl and the Foo are the best.

good 'ol boy from eastern Kentucky - great sound.

between the storytelling, the songwriting and the guitar playing.. nothing wrong with this James McMurtry tune..

Bon Iver's self-titled Album (2011) has become one of my favorite albums.

great transient sound.. the ethereal nature of it sounds better in the winter, too.

Shades of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin, back in the day

Brand new stuff

This is pretty cool

should be illegal to have as much collective talent as Willie, Dave and Gillian do..

great tune off my buddy Matthew Ryan's most recent record..

the award for "Has the Most Fun During a Video Shoot" goes to The National for "Graceless"..

Been on a classic jazz run for most of the summer. Love this stuff.





Also happened upon these guys a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoying their work.

A Tom Petty tribute on Iheart radio. Obscure song called 'Wildflowers' on right now. Fuck I'm bummed I never saw him in concert...huge mistake.

yep - they were always great live.

Oh - and a lot of folks rank "Wildflowers" as his best record.. I'd probably put it second behind "Torpedoes" - hard to go wrong with either.

Blast this. Right now. Do it!

Nobody wants to hear your white power thrash rock, Turtleneck.

I will pray for you, GreenWay.
