My boyfriend found this on the A.V. Club today, and was nice enough to show it to me. I think it's a good interview!

Oh, I just noticed the date of the posting was on the 26th, so it must be pretty new, I guess. I liked the interview...but the comments really sucked. Don't pay too much attention to those :D

Fran always gives great interviews (and this was particularly interesting) we're sure about that, but we can't avoid that some people are disagree with Travis and their music. It's sad :( (but they lost! haha)

This made me laugh:

I've had it happen [to me] actually, with a really small—worryingly small—pair of knickers thrown at us one day, and a worryingly big pair. I didn't like that. It's like, "Fuck! Can we not get a decently sized pair of knickers thrown at our band please?"

Haha that's a typical Fran-style interview, made me chuckle!! Loved the comment about the knickers being thrown on stage. Careful Fran, you might be swamped with undies after comments like that.

We had this thing called the "Jake-box jury," which is taken from the TV show Jukebox Jury. The "Jake" came from our friend's 2-and-a-half-year-old son. We played him The Man Who before we released it, just to see how he would react to the songs. Really young kids will either be like "No." or "Yeah." They are sort of heartfelt about it. He really got into all the ones that were going to be singles, and was dancing. He had never heard them before, and those were the ones we thought we should use. So kids are good as well.

Aaaaaw =) Nice interview!
