oscar worthy, indeed

In the top ten update I forgot to mention the arrival in the Hot 100 of the Oscar-winning "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and Markita Irglova. Not as surprising as Three 6 Mafia's win, but a surprise nonetheless. Still, the song's right up the academy's alley: so sugary you could make syrup out of it, but modern sounding, unlike those old-fashioned songs from Enchanted (any one of which, I bet, is better than this). Just what the indie world needs: official recognition of the scene as a safe stomping ground for sentimental buffoons. Of course, unofficially, we've known that for a long time.
