I love the film Once (and the soundtrack), so I thought it was pretty funny when The Simpsons referrenced the movie. And yes, those are the voices of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the actors from the movie.
UPDATE: It would seem that The Simpsons episodes on Hulu have an expiration date, so the clip is no longer available. Guess you’ll have to wait for the DVD to come out!
This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not. It is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.

Yeah, that was hilarious! I thought of you, actually. I am now making it a habit to watch the Simpsons on Sundays because it’s been excellent lately.
I’m honored you thought of me. And it’s nice to know someone still watches The Simpsons. It’s not what it once was, but I still like it.
My favorite part of the above clip is the “Watch this, kids”. Perfect.
i just can’t believe how good the resolution is on a free embeded video!
Yeah, Hulu is nothing short of amazing in pretty much everything it does.
