glen hansard and the frames [2006]

this is actually two albums. i can't post one of these without the other. i just heard about the "once" original soundtrack last week from fellow-blogger/music-aholic jake on his page at postfontaine. i dig it. it's really good so i went ahead and did some research about the male singer named glen hansard and found that he has been a part of the irish band "the frames" since the early 90's. i got a couple of the frames' more recent albums and they're just as good as the soundtrack. in fact, many of the songs can be found on both albums. the song "falling slowly" found on the once soundtrack actually won an oscar for best original score. impressive eh? here are the albums with the once soundtrack linked to jake's page.

3. people get ready
4. rise
5. when your mind's made up
