So low, why'd she have to sing so low? My favorite comment:

"omg you're have voice just like men!"

found another

I was thinking about this guy the other day!
I won't watch the vids now. I'm refraining from listening to every song that's on the album, including those I've already heard, so when I listen to it it'll be surprise or a nice re-encounter, depending on the songs :oP


Yes it is him. I plan on watching his latest contributions once I've heard the album.

Did we ever figure out how the Japanese dude had those backup vocals? He had them in Closer and one other song I can't remember.

And does anyone ever notice that we NEVER SEE HIS FACE!! Highly Suspicious,

And that Writing to Reach You dude has a tube of Jaffa Cakes on the desk behind him.

P.S. I know everyone's concerned they're going to go to hell because we're laughing at the dude with all of the terrible Travis covers but I think this YouTube commenter is way ahead of us:

LucciCP9x:

So did the Atom Bomb blow away your singing talent too?

OUCH!!!

I just watched all those videos again :oP

Where did the rain shine go? That's what I wonder.

I realized Closer is a tough one to sing. I've seen three covers and all of them had trouble with the singing.

The BGVs sound like his voice so I think he records them ahead of time and just plays them whilst recording.

(that's the second time in two days I've used the word whilst. )

Wow I feel much better about myself after reading the atom bomb comment. damn.

So much better that I must recommend watching Viva La Vida. It features some more BGVs. And the world revolution.

Oh yeah I forgot I had sent you that link. I think that night I watched it about 6 times. It totally cheered me up.

This thought just filled me with joy. A new Travis album could mean new cover songs by "Japanese Dude!" Everyone remembers him, right?
