Glen Hansard-Genius or Chancer? (2 Viewers)

[Moods For Mallards]

I automatically assume, whether I like someone's music or not, or even if they don't play music, that I won't like the person.

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

Strange thing that....If you don't like someone's music you automatically assume you won't like them as a person.

Although I really like James Brown's music but I'd say he was unbearable to be around. I get the feeling Morrissey ain't the nicest individual either, Prince, plenty others...

I could be wrong.

it's called the x-factor

 

[ann post]

i thought he was grand.

About two months back me and the girlfriend rented out 'Once' on a bored Sunday as there was nothing else still on the shelf that evening, and it was in the weekly staff 'Tipp!' section behind the counter.

We turned it off about half way through. rubbish.

My girlfriend thought he was cute though. The gingerness probably has a different appeal for non-Irish people.

There a couple of years ago the photo of the week winner in a provincial newspaper was a photo of the movie Once with the letter "P" graffitied in front of "Once". Honest.

 

[dudley]

And before you ask Dudley, you're not one of them, I do actually like your band

name one tune!

 

[Flux]

Genius of Chaucer.

Still reading that as the thread title.

 

[Cryptid]

I actually read it as Genius or Chaucer. Weird that, isn't it?

If only we gave good bands as much attention! 17 pages on this guy.

Me and my ex did the very same in the Netherlands.
He came back from the video shop all "Look! I found an Irish film! Deadly!"
"Eh, are you focking serious? It's got Hansard in it!"

 

[the strange guy]

The only video I've seen in the Netherlands had red dog cock in it.
I had no idea I was watching 'Once', but it makes sense now.

errugh.
for the birds is a deadly album, anytime ive seen him perform, which has either been free or forced, he talks like a right git.. fair dues on the oscar, not a bad movie.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

Same with me the few times I've been in his company.

I also knew him peripherally before the Frames and my memory of him is on eof a very friendly guy that just loved music, talking about it, playing it etc etc.
He was obsessed with Dylan at the time. I don't know if that's still the case.

I get reams of abuse from people I know fro not going along with the Hansard fatwa that's been declared in this town.

can you pm me all your encounters with hansard, starting from grafton st in 88.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

can you pm me all your encounters with hansard, starting from grafton st in 88.

Did he also find Glen cute? Focking hell

i still have a few copies of The Slate, one of which has a picture of GLEN..GLEN (as John Lydon might sneer in Filth & the Fury) with the caption 'piss on my face'. That was a deadly mag..the slate..real laugh out loud.

 

[Franco]

I'd say he's a nice enough guy although I don't think he even owns a Saab.

He rang my brother up once to buy his Land Rover Defender off him, but he'd already sold it.

I know you'll appreciate that anecdote MDR.
