As you can see, Academy Award winners Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova visited The Mountain yesterday. It was all very stealthy… they don’t play in Seattle till November 22nd, which is when you hear this lounge “live” on the air. That John Fisher is so crafty!

Anyhoo, I smuggled out a song – it’s the gorgeous 1st single from their new cd Strict Joy.

Oh, and speaking of U2, because we always are… Glen told an amazing story about Bono asking them to play at Eunice Shriver’s wake. Eunice created the Special Olympics, so you can imagine that there were lots of Olympians at the wake. What those Olympians did to honor Eunice was so touching… not a dry eye in the house when Glen told the story. Hear it November 22nd.

And because I like you (and we all like U2), I can tell you that I have more U2 news and you won’t have to travel very far to hear it. Hint hint hint.

I would say more, but we all remember what happened the last time I leaked U2 news.
