Tailgate Party Week Two: The Swell Season...

Photobucket


You may have heard of this group, or these songs from the INCREDIBLE movie "Once." Let me start by saying if you haven't seen this movie, and music is your passion, you must leave this blog right now and go rent it. AMAZING. This film really focuses on the struggles of a singer/songwriter...it is a beautiful story.


The Swell Season consists of Glen Hansard of the Irish band, The Frames and Marketa Irglova, out of Czech, who met up with Glen when The Frames were playing a gig there. Together, armed with a guitar and piano, they create a plethora of heart wrenching melodies, which have truly captured my attention.

I hope that if this is your first experience with The Swell Season...that you will enjoy your stay.

Welcome to the Tailgate Party...

Why a Tailgate Party? Because it is about friends...food and drink...community...and music. So let your hair down, get out your straw hat, put on your dancin' shoes and lets tailgate together, shall we? Concider this a sort of...internet party so to speak!


It's no secret how much I LOVE music. I seek it out all the time...

New artists...
Old artists that I've never heard of...
Music that SPEAKS to me in some way...on some level.



So I've been asked by a number of friends to start sharing it when I find someone I kinda dig. So I thought I would start a blog. Weekly...Bi-Weekly...Probably weekly at first because I have found a bunch of artists lately that have really rocked my world. SOOOOOOooooo.
Cheers! Look for the first one tonight or early tomorrow morning!

peas and love,
