| I've just come across this cover of Psycho Killer by Talking Heads. Apparently Travis covered the song for French radio but I have no idea when. Did anyone else know about this? |

Wow, this is interesting! I'm pretty keen on Talking Heads…
And no, I've never heard this before. It's track 09, what are the other tracks, some more traditional Travis stuff, I guess? |

| No, the other tracks are various covers done by other bands for the same radio station. |

Oh thank you Lucile. I didn't know anything about this. Fran's voice sounds surprisingly very different on this cover.
Aaah Talking Heads, a trip down memory lane.
Forgot to add, it's great to hear Fran singing in French. |

Fran's quite a mimic, he usually sounds pretty much like the original singer when he sings the covers (think of Dylan, Morrissey…), at least in style. |

This is true Mili - he often does an excellent job of reproducing the exact sound of the original. |

| Yep, last year, along with a selection of various other covers. So it can have been recorded anytime before that. I don't know when was the last time they were in Paris doing some promo for the album. |

It's great but there are bits I can't quite hear. If you've got a bit of time on your hands, maybe a little transcript????? :-P
Weren't they in Paris Oct/ Nov time for the "les indépendants montent le son" programme for France 2 ? |
