Congratulations to The Swell Season!!!

Airbag Radio would like to offer congratulations to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, collectively known as The Swell Season, on winning this year's Academy Award for Best Original Song.  The award was given for the song "Falling Slowly" from the film, Once.  Those who have had the opportunity to see this movie know that this award is well deserved.  Those who have yet to check it out, need to do so.  Both the film and the music are deeply emotional and honest.  Particularly noteworthy, is the fact that Glen and Marketa, the writers of all the music in the movie, are also the main actors, adding another level of honesty to the performances of the songs.  Watch the movie, then get the soundtrack.  In other Swell Season news, the duo will be performing at Oakland's Paramount Theatre on April 26th.  Unfortunately, Airbag Radio will be M.I.A. on this show as we'll be catching M.I.A. and others down in the desert that same day.  Tickets go on sale this Sunday at 10 AM.
