i also liked his translation of "morning has broken" the other day. he wrote "morgen hat gebrochen" which you might know would mean sth like "the morning has vomitted" ;D

Fran??:rolleyes:

I think that from Ode to J. Smith album my favorite song is Quite Free, but Chinese Blues is awesome as well :) But I think that Colder is still my favorite Travis song. A new album would be great!

^colder was actually written by dougie ;)

Sweetness i get to see Travis again when they come down in September for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Saw them last year when they came down for a gig, never thought i would get to see the again so soon.

Really? I love this song :wacky: So cute :nice:

^yes, well, many people don't know that dougie is a very talented songwriter as well ;) he also wrote "something anything", "last words" and many great b-sides :nice:

Yes, he is :D I didn't know that he wrote one of my favorite songs :wacko: That's amazing.

Fatal tent collapse closes Slovak music festival

 

(AFP) – 16 hours ago

 

PRAGUE — At least one person died after a huge tent collapsed Saturday, injuring dozens of revellers and forcing the cancellation of Slovakia's largest musical festival, a report said.

 

Organisers abandoned the Pohoda music festival in the western town of Trencin, featuring Patti Smith, Basement Jaxx and Scotland's Travis, and evacuated all 33,000 festival-goers after the tent collapsed.

 

Interior Minister Robert Kalinak said a "young boy" was killed when a gust of wind lifted then brought down the tent on hundreds of people sheltering from a heavy downpour, the SITA news agency said.

 

Thirty-eight people were taken to hospital, 15 of them with serious injuries, the report said. Three of the injured required surgery, a doctor told the agency.

 

One report, from the television station TA3, said as many as three people could have died in the accident.

i think this is so horrible... :(

 

marek, you said you wanted to go to that festival, i hope you're alright?! :\

:stunned:

sigh, I wish they still made the music like they used to..

I see you're single-handedly keeping this thread alive................................ :D

And yes - acoustic gigs would be brilliant. They always are.;)

If they announce any Fran & Andy acoustic gigs in this country, I'm off to see them.
