Episode 88: Running Long Like the Oscars

Today's opening track is the Oscar award-winning song from the indie film Once. The show also ends with a song from a movie, though sadly not an Oscar winner as I first thought when introducing it. The people in between aren't exactly slacking, either.

Here's what you'll hear today (direct download here):

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova: "Falling Slowly"
Kitaro: "Floating Lotus"
Bettye Lavette: "Down to Zero"
Jorge Ramirez: "Tu Cancion"
Sean Hayes: "Flowering Spade"
Jayme Dawicki: "Shatter Queen"
Billy Falcon: "The Rest of the Song"
Gum: "Try Stopping Me Now"
Jonathan Coulton: "Famous Blue Raincoat"
The Sky About to Rain: "Desert Breakdown 1"
Curtis Mayfield: "Superfly"



Tracks 2, 5, and 11 come courtesy of the IODA Promonet and may be downloaded below. (Well, not Curtis Mayfield -- the promotion ended after I did the episode but before its air date, apparently.) Tracks 9 and 10 come from the artists' Web sites. Track 6 was obtained directly from the artist, who sent me her new CD, and everything else comes courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network.
