I’ve been sent this by Temple Garner, a long time friend of the late Glen Hansard to share. It has to be one of the earliest recordings of Glen playing live. This was pre The Frames, pre Commitments and was recorded at The Hitchin Post, Leixlip, Kildare, Ireland in 1987.

Opening Pixies' debut album Surfer Rosa, "Bone Machine" immediately established the strange, abrasive world the band inhabited. Black Francis's surreal lyrics, Kim Deal's backing vocals and Joey Santiago's jagged guitar helped create the quiet-loud dynamics that would influence countless alternative bands in the years that followed. This 1988 performance captures Pixies before that influence had spread far beyond the underground.

Oscar-and-Grammy winning singer-songwriter Glen Hansard was killed in a motorcycle crash in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland this week at the age of 56.

@AnthonyMasonCBS shows us how Hansard went from an unknown street performer to an artist who achieved the highest honors.

There are only 14 mountains in the world that rise above 8,000 metres. Nirmal "Nimsdai" Purja summited every one of them in just 6 months and 6 days during Project Possible, achieving what many believed was impossible.
Today, the world has lost a legend.💔

Released on this day in 1994, 'Revol', the second single from 'The Holy Bible'.

A relentless blast of guitars and one of the defining tracks from the album, the single reached No.22 in the UK charts.

While I was waiting outside a venue to see a Glen Hansard concert, an old black man was playing his sax for change. I've seen this guy at several shows before and threw him a few bucks like usual.

Later, we were seated near the front of the theater waiting for the show to start, and there was one empty seat in the center of the third row.

Just before Glen took stage, a member of the road crew escorted the old sax player to that seat. Glen had seen him busking outside and thought he deserved the best seat in the house.

Rest in Peace, Glen. https://t.co/Er5eT9bzaS

Mayo’s win yesterday was so extraordinary that I had the chance to moonlight as the The Athletic's GAA correspondent for the day.

A piece about how an apocryphal curse became self-fulfilling, and how the bravery of youth finally exorcised it.

Big congrats to All-Ireland winners Mayo. For anyone interested in the All-Ireland GAA final stats, I’ve built a page with an interactive All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finals app that covers every final from 1887 to 2026 in one place. Refer to the link below:

Great to see the GAA make the Athletic

The New York Knicks went 53 years without an NBA championship. Arsenal waited 22 years to lift another Premier League trophy.

But Mayo's All-Ireland title win in Gaelic football blew this year's high-profile sporting exorcisms out of the water.

Entering the Boston Red Sox’s “Curse of the Bambino” territory, Mayo went 75 years without success, losing 11 finals after an Irish priest supposedly condemned the team's celebrations following their 1951 title win.
