First, let me clarify the title. The latest Travis album, Ode to J Smith, has been out in the UK for a few weeks, but doesn't get a proper release in the US until November 4th. I guess the people who make decisions (deciders!) about album release dates did not realize that November 4th is [...]

It's not been a long time since the beautiful Scots - Travis released their long-time anticipated 5th studio album The Boy With No Name which to me has been underrated within the ocean of new records drifting all around in 2007- and maybe due to the not spot on single choices. Fans would know how long we had to wait for that rescue record to take Travis out of shadow after more than 3 year of w...

Pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/champersnova/2619282766/ (Tried to upload some here but it failed) A beautiful Saturday afternoon. Sun is shining gloriously processing into one's bones. I am lying down here on this couch feeling the breeze flowing in from the window - trying to rest my feet-legs on a linen cushion. Can't help asking to myself, was it real what happened last night? Is it ...

Back when Travis released the "Something Anything" video, we learned the song appears on the band's forthcoming Ode To J. Smith album. We also learned the album features a song called "J. Smith." So the album is an ode to a song that's on the album. That is the height of titular circularity. As then noted: it "must be a good song." Probably better to have said "it better be a good song." Worry ...

I haven't paid much attention to the band in past years, but this "J. Smith" character has me intrigued. It's off their upcoming album, due out November [...]

It's not a very spectacular week, in terms of new musical releases, but there are some pretty interesting stuff to pick from, nonetheless.After the UK release last month, which got pretty well received, Travis put out their latest album, titled "Ode to J. Smith," on the US shelves, as...

Travis' new album, Ode to J. Smith, has been out since late September in the United Kingdom, but it gets a U.S. release on Tuesday - which will be a pretty big day, if you ask me. As a little incentive, the band is offering a full stream of the album at its MySpace page. [...]

This weekend was one of those gorgeous, Autumn-in-the-air kinds of weekends that just beg for you to get out into it and soak up all the colours and flavours of the season. And while I did get out and enjoy the scenery some, I also spent the better part of it indoors, trying to add a little freshness to my digs. Saturday morning I spent a couple of hours re-arranging the furniture in my livin...

MP3: Travis - "J. Smith" from Ode to J. Smith, due November 4 on Red Telephone Box. Gosh, remember Travis? Five years ago, Johnny Loftus kicked off his piece covering the band's Detroit stop with the quote: "Travis is so...
