In Music: Swell Season - All The Way Down
The reason I'm doing this post is because one of my all time favorite bands, is breaking up. The Swell Season is composed of Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova and some band members from Glen's previous band The Frames. They gained international success with their movie "Once" which mirrors their real life tumultuous relationship. If you haven't heard of them, I absolutely INSIST that you find more of their music right now! Glen is going back to his old band and Marketa is working on a solo album. I just hope and pray that someday the two will reunite. For now, take a listen to one of my favorites, "All The Way Down."
Song: All The Way Down
Artist: Swell Season
Album: Once Official Movie Soundtrack
Writer: Glen Hansard
Label: Canvasback, Columbia, Sony Music Soundtrax

Hump Day: Evan Wadle
Yes, I realize that today is, in fact, Thursday. I'm an extremely important person and am very busy. Give me a break! This is sarcasm by the way. I just completely forgot.
In Music: Sheryl Crow - Stop
Sheryl Crow is out with a new album, and thankfully, takes a more bluesy approach. I guess I should start by saying I've never really been much of a fan. I'll bop my head along to one of her poppy songs on the radio from time to time, but have never owned an album. To be diplomatic, I decided to get this new album and give it a whirl. I'm actually pleasantly surprised! There are still a few of those pop crap tunes that she'll no doubt toss on the airwaves and shovel down radio listeners throats, but the majority of the songs are more soulful and definitely inspired by the south. My favorite song on the album so far is "Stop." Take a listen below!
Song: Stop
Artist: Sheryl Crow
Album: 100 Miles From Memphis
Writer: Sheryl Crow
Label: A&M

In Film: Boondock Saints II
I'm not going to write much of a review, reason being...I didn't finish the movie. That's right, I've sat through "Justin to Kelly," and "Glitter" but I couldn't get through this. The first Boondock Saints is one of my all time favorite movies, and this is just a poor remake with an older, less talented cast. They basically tried to use the same dynamic and failed miserably. Save yourself the time and just rewatch the first one!
