Ik heb erg goede herinneringen aan de Schotse britpopband Travis. Watte denken van bijvoorbeeld Why Does It Always Rain On Me, die doetdenken aan de dagen dat je door een regenstorm naar school moest fietsen of Writing To Reach You, een nummer wat niemand meer uit zijnhoofd krijgt na het beluisteren. Allemaal nummers met een emotionelewaarde, iets wat weinige bands daadwerkelijk voor elkaar krijg...
The Daily Record has got one of those emergency messages, of the sort usually sent for couples from Bridlington touring France in a Morris Minor. They're looking for Travis: The band's official website, www.travisonline.com, even went down recently. What's going on boys? A passing scientist has suggested that what might have happened is the individual members of the band heard Snow Patrol on every TV trail this year, and thought that it must have been a new Travis album made without anyone telling them, so they're all sitting in a [...]
Do you find that, like me, you're purchasing more music now than you did before internet postings made getting new music easy? In an age of free information, I find that when I come across something I truly appreciate, I end up buying it, and I'm coming across more music that I appreciate because of the free exchange of information. That being said, I also come across a whole heap of crap, too, but I'm not as bothered by the crap as I used to be (probably because I don't have to pay for it). I'm [...]

I'm tired, it's late and I have to be up at stupid o'clock in the morning. So just a quick post tonight. And having spent a rather wonderful afternoon at the Monkey Forest in the company of herself, this song seems like the most appropriate thing to play you tonight. A little Ob-La-Di in it's music, it is nonetheless an entertaining piece of fluffy b-side goodness from Travis . Travis [...]

Sometimes it's nice to come back to music that's familiar to you. I've been listening to so much new music lately that I think i needed a nice break this weekend. So i decided to stay up all night and make a little mix, and as you can see it's very Britpop influenced. Eh, who am I kidding it's completely Britpop. There's stuff here from bands who aren't exactly british but I still consider it Britpop anyways. At one point this is all I would ever listen to, a [...]

Sorry about the lack of posts since the 4th of July. I've been entirely unmotivated to do anything besides work, watch t.v. and sleep the past couple of days. Your Friday theme mix hast turned into a Saturday theme mix, but it's here nonetheless. I'm sure you kids are going to scroll through your collections and find a whole bunch more songs about emotions, so list 'em if you want to. Rilo Kiley - Emotional Poe - Angry [...]
