Thanks, Ocio, that was fun! My Title Match was Moving vs Re-Offender and I went with Re-Offender as it’s one of my most listened to songs.
I hosted a song World Cup for Travis — the champion is “Re-offender”!
https://musiccup.app/b/35b6c594e77d890cWhat a lovely story about him, Paul. What a loss, indeed- so talented, and very haunting to see him performing just before his crash. There’s something about seeing someone being so very much alive just minutes before they pass- I can’t get that performance out of my head.
I was so lucky to see The Swell Season last summer. I loooove Low Rising; it’s one of my favorite songs. ‘Once’ is one of my favorite films, and it was a dream of mine to hear ‘Falling Slowly’ live. Glen was fantastic, warm, and earnest on stage. It was such a captivating concert, I almost felt like I held my breath the entire time.
Thinking of his loved ones. 🙁
Not sure about official physical releases, but there ARE two amazing playlists on Spotify, which Travis posted. “Travis Rock” and “Travis Roll”- you can find streaming of the B-Sides, and Apple Music seems to have every single, including B-Sides (but not as a compilation).
I gotta add my vote for a boxset!
Love this topic. I got deep into Travis specifically because of Steve Lilywhite, in some ways. I knew him as a producer before I knew Travis, so it piqued my curiosity. I love the flow of the album and listen to I Love You Anyways alllll the time, because I love songs about places and love the imagery of the lyrics.
Aside: Do you think we’ll get a 30th anniversary something or other as I think it’s soon? 👀
I am a huge, huge fan of “Colder.” ( Has it ever been performed live? Been curious)
“Moving” is one of the bands best songs imo…. I know that’s a harder one to hear live cos of the high chorus (love the North Sea story).
My 8 year old loooves “Animals.”
(She gets annoyed when her kids’ Alexa always plays the Maroon 5 version by default 😒)
Oh, and I gotta mention she loves “Boxes” as well. It is catchy and she likes singing it, which can be a bit surreal with how dark the lyrics are.😆Oh, I just saw it as well! I agree. I went in knowing nothing but I am always interested when films become phenomenons, and I read it’s made hundreds of millions on a single million dollar budget. Wow.
I came out with so many thoughts- Gen Z captures the real horror behind the horror and doesn’t seem to mind lingering on awkward moments. I love that. It felt fresh. The actress who played Nikki was astounding.Mine was April 15th, 2009 at the Gothic Theater in Denver. I have always said it’s my favorite concert, and I go to a lot of concerts. It was insane to see them touring one of their rockier albums in such an intimate venue. A peak experience of mine for sure. The setlist was amazing.

(Acoustic)oooh, I love this topic! I need to think about it and come back, but I wanted to leave my anecdote about Magnolia. My first job was at a movie theater, and I was working there when Magnolia came out! My coworker rented out (well, he got our manager to put on the projector) a screen for after work, and we had a private screening of Magnolia for a date. I was 15 and had to pretend I understood that film…I still don’t know if I do…but it’s a classic. 1999 was arguably the best year ever for film and I feel so lucky I can say I worked at a cinema during that time.
Hiya, Neil! Love to hear you’ve been creating and making music in the midst of the heatwave… and hopefully keeping cool.😎
Yeahhh it’s worse for me every time and I’ve been ping ponging between the UK and USA for decades… guess that’s the problem , “decades” of jet lag correlates with decades of ageing. And well, I don’t have the discipline for all of these techniques out there , so I just embrace a few days of suffering. 😩
Well, I started collecting vinyl in the past few years, but most of your language was lost on me 😛 and reminds me why I got a D when I decided to take upper-division physics of music at university, because I thought…Well, I never even took high school physics, so not sure what I thought lol. Hence the D. But one day, maybe I will have audiophile-level knowledge. For now, it’s Beats Pro with my MacBook. It allows for an aux connection so I can bypass Bluetooth when I’m sat at my computer. Cool thread, makes me think I should upgrade.
Not to be a broken record (heh), but I too love Alive. My just turned 8-year-old’s favorite Travis song is ‘Bus’ (and she even sings most of the deep tracks word for word; I’m very impressed, lol… One day, she was randomly singing ‘Boxes’).
My daughter LOVES Poochie Pete. She loves music and dogs and Travis soooo. 🙂 I ordered it from the Portobello Bookshop for international delivery and was incredibly pleased with their service, so I sent Poochie Pete to my friend for her son’s birthday, haha. (Aside: They live in Boston, and now they’re like obsessed with Scotland after the awesome World Cup experience brought to Boston)
🥂 Cheers to 30 years! 😮💨 No small feat (no Poochie Pete pun intended )…and🍻to being in the studio 👀!
A, B, and C all sound good to me…wise words on getting up early…. I feel this but can’t seem to comply with myself 😆. My dad is 77 and can sleep ‘til noon so if it’s genetic I’ll never be an early bird 🐦 🤔.
Nice to meet you. 😀
