When Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won the Oscar for Best Song, I cheered. It was involuntary. I scared the gaggle of gay men with whom I was watching the awards. (They were cheering for Enchanted.)

It's no secret that we at Phillyist positively adore Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, both as individuals and as collaborators—better known in that context as The Swell Season. And so it should be no surprise to you that we'll be at Glen and Mar's show tonight at the Tower Theater.

My favorite part about about being a Phillyist writer is the late-night orgies checking out all sorts of music I never would have heard albums of the year. There are some selections on this list (okay, one in particular) that are indefensible. But read on, and watch my credibility melt away before your very eyes...

We already mentioned in an earlier post that the unconventional Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There gets released today. Although the soundtrack of the film has been out for some time, we thought we'd take this opportunity to review it - especially seeing as how it's a review copy of the album that we've been listening to and all. We're not just late on the review because we're lazy, though. There's a lot of music...

I'm really not a superfan.

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton's San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan's cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a picture displaying the woes of cruising in a tacky limo on the streets of San Francisco.

As commenter Matt pointed out over the weekend, Y-Rock on XPN is going to be hosting a free screening of , a Film Festival movie we totally dug, starring the frontman of a band we totally dig. What's more, Matt tells us that said frontman, Glen Hansard, will be on hand for a private performance and Q&A session after the show. And seriously, how cool is that?

Although the TLA's re-branding doesn't officially happen until tonight, Wednesday's show's venue was listed (on Phillyist and elsewhere) as the Fillmore at the TLA. That depressed us here at Phillyist. But then I walked in that night, and I've gotta say that, at least from an aesthetic point of view, I'm not nearly as sad anymore. There are wood floors and chandeliers and the the bathrooms (previously discussed in Royal Flush) are if they wanted to buy some more comfortable bar stools). And I know that I'll still probably call it the TLA anyway. Moving on to the show...

Remember , and the sweet intensity he brought to his acting, we can't imagine that the show could possibly be disappointing.
