Boo ya to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who won an academy award tonight for their astonishing song ‘Falling Slowly’ from the brilliant indie movie ‘Once’.

And bravo to Jon Stewart who had the decency to bring Marketa back on stage to make her acceptance speech after they started up the background music before she had a chance to open her mouth.

From Lori we have a link to this NY Times story about Hansard and Irglova

Finally, head over to KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic to hear a great live performance from the duo.
