Damien Rice sure likes to take his time between records. It took him four years to follow up his breakthrough debut O and now it’s been three years since 9. He has stayed busy, though: speaking and performing at Trinity College, Dublin, touring...

Here I go, getting all sappy again, but I have long been a fan of this song and once it popped onto my iPod this morning on the commute, I had to post the vid. Damien Rice’s song “The Blower’s Daughter,” has always been a powerful one for me, the message of deep, agonizing longing [...]

First MOG post! Yay.Okay, so I've always been a really big Damien Rice fan. From the moment I first heard Cannonball, I knew I was in love. Even still, when '9' came out, I didn't get it right away. Don't ask me why, I really don't know. I was just as excited about it as all my other DR-obsessed friends, but for some reason I have a problem actually buying albums. I always just figure why waste...

On May 31st, Damien Rice played the Orpheum in Memphis. I had seen him live before at the Pageant in St. Louis with the Frames (it's one of my first posts), and somehow again, I caught the last show of this U.S. run. There was a lot of great moments (like a dramatic re-enactment of Cheers Darlin'), but the absolute highlight had to be Accidental Babies. This song kills me anyway (I'll try to...

Last Thursday I saw one of my favorite concerts of this year. Damien Rice played the Mann Center, and it was both heart-breaking and exhilarating. Here's my review:"I feel naked," our friend leaned over and whispered. We nodded our head. "Exposed, but in a good way," we replied, in awe of the man who was causing this feeling. It was the third song in and Damien Rice was alone on the stage, bath...

Great show tonight...I was disappointed heading into the show, knowing that Lisa Hannigan who was prominently featured on both of his albums had recently stopped touring with Damien to record her own album, but that disappointment faded quickly.From the first few notes of the show opener '9 Crimes' through the entire set, the energy and intensity never waned....just a great show. The set was he...

I've got Lost on my mind. Delicate was the last song Hurley listen to, in Season 1 episode called In Translation, before the batteries in his discman died out. I say bring back the music. Why doesn't Hurley have a Dharma prototype walkman in the 70's?Delicate is one of my favorites off O. I woke up with the lyrics in my head this morning. It always brings me back to this episode. When Hurley's ...

I will be spending tonight lounging on the grass listening to Damien Rice...the show is in a really cool outdoor venue downtown, so I am looking forward to just relaxing and looking up at the stars while the good music just fills up the night sky...a great way to end a long weekend...

Wow! Damien Rice doing Hallelujah. Even though Jeff Buckley's version if my favorite, Damien's interpretation is quite stellar. Nothing else to say but press play, sit back, close yr eyes and enjoy.Damien Rice - Hallelujah (acoustic/live){mp3}
