For those wanting to know Travis a little more, here's a personal, home made "Best Of" I put together if you want to taste test some off iTunes. They're basically the songs I love the most by Travis. This set covers an almost equal amount from each album (give or take 1 or 2 tracks the difference) and it doesn't just consist of singles. Try and listen to them in the order set out as I think they flow pretty well. Have a listen:

 

1. Ring out the bell

2. All I wanna do is rock

3. Something anything

4. Big chair

5. Driftwood

6. The Fear

7. Somewhere else

8. Pipe dreams

9. Broken mirror

10. U16 girls

11. Sing

12. Under the moonlight

13. Quite free

14. Why does it always rain on me?

15. Writing to reach you

16. Re-offender

17. Good day to die

18. Love will come through

19. Happy to hang around

20. Slide show / blue flashing light

Someone from DSDS (German Pop Idol) performed "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" last evening. ;)

Yeah, I watched it yesterday. It's funny as he always chooses one song I really like for every show. So I was really interested in how he'd perform "Why does it always rain on me?". Well, to be honest, I think it was okay and at least better than his first song, but in my opinion he still can do much better. ;)

 

Anyways... Travis uploaded a new video on Youtube. :lol: Dougie shows their tourbus and I think it's just really cute and also funny. And to be honest, I've always been curious about how a tourbus looks from the inside, too. :D

 

In case you haven't watched it yet, there you go:

^yep, that's a nice vid, i especially like the ending: "franny's concentrating very hard on... shooting stuff :nice:" lol ... he's concentrating very hard indeed, i mean, he's not even blinking ;D

 

and yay for dominik singing travis :) i don't think much of him (sounds too similar to james blunt in my opinion - i like james, but we don't need someone sounding pretty much the same), but at least he always chooses good songs!

Driving through America again after a flying visit to Toronto.

 

Tonight's show was a good one, despite some early technical issues. Poor Kenny who looks after my guitars has had a hat trick of tricky shows. There was the electric shock Chicago gig which was 100% to do with my foul mood that night...hecklers don't bother me at all by the way... Chicago punters are great...i read somebody was affronted by the crowd... well each to there own...chicago ROCKED.

 

Then there was guitar issues last night too...tonight at the top of the show I kicked a cocky photographer in the lens to make him get his camera out out my space...he was reaching right over the stage between the monitors... cheeky boy...

 

Y'all were just so generous tonight. i was totally done when the show ended and ran straight to bed. sorry if you wanted shit signed....sometimes this cat needs to sleep. so now it's 5am and i'm wide awake...shucks...

------

 

"sorry if you wanted shit signed..." ??? lool :laugh3:

 

chicago must have been really tough, since he kept getting electric shocks through the microphone, which you can imagine is really painful :\
