Swell Season performance, interview (Boing Boing)

[luteXV]

Swell Season is Swell.

[Odoth]

Loving the Cat Stevens mention

[89Ciscokid]

I thought they killed at Coachella but that just me =)

[99805412]

the best combination i've ever seen

[dboyd1089]

what's funny is before this interview i got a turn table and my dad had a vinyl of cat stevens greatest hits and i absolutely love it. it is brilliant.

[floatingupon]

The Swell Season is one of my favourite groups, I haven't listened to them in a while as it's been too emotional for me. "Once" is my favourite movie, hopefully I'll be able to watch it again someday. As for "High Hope", oh dear... My eyes are swelling up, it's allergies, I swear!

Fantastic.

[Cody111079]

@Komprimus love that movie :)

[norcalgirl83]

I LOVE the new song they played (High Hope was it?). Can't wait for the new album!

[mikethewaitups]

[millicentbistander]

Haha.

[dolfin123]

give me back that filet o fish, give me that fish!

[SpotlesssMind]

which camera was used to record this video? I love how short is the depth of field. A photographic one? Canon? Nikon? Red one? Thanks in advance :)

[alextamulis]

@SpotlesssMind it looks like it might be the Canon EOS 5d Mark II or the 1D Mark I... the 5D M2 costs about 2500 bucks and the 1D M1 costs 5 grand and yes, their depth of field is amazing and the CMOS Sensor is large enough to use these puppies as documentary or short film cameras, that's why I'm saving money to get one for me!

[dfedick]

I think Marketa's reserve is perfect. It draws you in.. The way it's supposed to..

[tigerinsideher]

The music these two make is nothing short of amazing, I just wish Mr. Hansard would let Marketa get a word in. He always dominates the conversation when they are interviewed.

[habenwillst]

Falling from the sky! Yeahhyyy!

[paribusmusic09]

I absolutely love the fact that these 2 can take one guitar n one mini casio keyboard n make it sound AMAAAZING!!! truly phenomenal musicians!!

[Ruud279b]

@paribusmusic09 please what is that song called? i only heard it in the film but cant seem to track it down

[paribusmusic09]

@Ruud279b its called 'Fallen From The Sky', its on the OST for Once which is available online :)

[paribusmusic09]

@Ruud279b its called 'Fallen From The Sky', its on the OST for Once which is available online :)

[Ruud279b]

@paribusmusic09 Thanks!

[karlkapipi]

marketa is awesome!

[susannacole]

I love Glen, such a soulful artist, and the emotion and passion he pours into his voice when he sings is always moving. I like what he has to say too, really great interview, and Markéta seems sweet too, just wish she would have said more.

[RunMaxRun]

@susannacole She is really shy by nature, she has gotten a lot more extraverted it seems since when I saw her at Bonnaroo in 2008.

[matman004]

@susannacole yeah the only thing is about marketa is she's still like 19 yrs. old ya know. Glen's just been around this atmosphere so much longer. I think thats why she lets him talk more.

[mystonicrecords]

So glad to hear what they feel about the music industry.

[jl61046]

This guy just continues to amaze me...He seems like such a sincere person who just lives to write and play amazing music...

[megalomaniac08]

aww what happened to his guitar.. :(

[Slartiebartfast]

Time. That's the same guitar he used when he was busking on Dublin streets when he was a teenager.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

great

[zsmith20]

when he yells he kinda sounds like the singer from kings of leon lol

[Nate2203]

more like willie the groundskeeper :-P

[MizzCandiBabii]

[peacelovee22]

[FreeForMusic]

CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL FOR MUSIC.

[karmapolicej]

glen is great, but i just wish marketa had more solos, especially on their latest cd. On all the interviews i've seen them glen is the dominant talker and i wish she would just be more alive. She always seems like she has some deep dark secret waiting to be found and it bugs me. Anyway big fan. of both. more so marketa meh

[Matulal]

He's Irish. Born in Dublin. Check Wikipedia, chumps.

[panchar85]

If you are thinking, why my guitar has a pickguard??

here's a good example why

[EisleyGirl]

he still plays that guitar, huh??? great vid!

[clapsandsmiles]

Cause hes american Irish, he has no Irish accent, he fakes it :\ sorry to put allt he fanns down, but I saw them backstage D.X i was devastated to learn the truth :( broke my hope in honest music, now its official, everything is about monesy X(

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

FAKE!!!

[karoldoran]

[jgariano3]

Interesting how he always uses that beat-up guitar. One of these days there's going to be no wood left lol

[xbellaxbrutalityx]

@jgariano3 dude, I love his guitar!

It's so beaten and weathered, it's quite symbolic, and plus, it's invincible. =]

[jgariano3]

@xbellaxbrutalityx haha, yeah, its cool. Tommy Emaneul has the same thing going.

[bigblink]

beautifully shot, i wonder what camera was used for this?

[bartnagel]

@bigblink Since you asked: we used three Canon 5D mk2 cameras with 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200 lenses.

[GLeNss]

I wish I had one. I know more of that cameras video capibilities than the photos it takes xD

[officialravenzoe]
