First, listen to New York Public Radio's interview with ONCE actor and musician Glen Hansard. He talked with them shortly before performing with his ONCE co-star Marketa Irglova at the Tribeca Film Festival, which concluded this past Sunday.

You can stream or download the interview, which is toward the bottom of this page.

Second, check out part of that performance on independentfilm.com. Glen also discusses his musical career. (Video stills at right.)

Following a Q&A in Toronto, Glen performed a few songs and then concluded with inviting some of the women from the audience to join him and sing Marketa's part in "Falling Slowly." You can access this part of the performance here on YouTube. I think the ladies did well, don't you?

Finally, something a little more outrageous...

Watch a video clip of Glen's rap interpretation of "Falling Slowly."

Enjoy!

 

 

I love the rap version. He is such a brilliant entertainer with an amazing sense of humor. Have you guys seen the animated video, Headlong? It's got a softer feel. It's from Glen's band The Frames. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nzn99kDEVk&mode=related&search=
