I always love the name Rosemary. It sounds like a poem.Palm trees fit the LA vibe perfectly!🌴Good thing the tuckeroo tree doesn’t actually grow carrots though — that would be my personal nightmare…😾

Wow, 18 pots, and loads of them are rescues – that’s awesome! As a newbie, I still find it kinda hard to keep plants alive!!

Hooray for dogs!Also, mint leaves in rice noodles are really tasty. It’s a way of eating Yunnan rice noodles in China, and this dish might also be found in Southeast Asia.🐶

Pothos is really a great choice!

Thanks for the detailed recommendations – I’ll check them out and add some to my list.

I usually listen to music through my iPad’s speakers for the sake of my hearing and ear comfort. Sometimes I listen to CDs, and although I’ve bought some vinyl records, I don’t have a turntable yet—I plan to buy one later.

Hi Erika!Your hats must have been so cute – no wonder they wore them! 🎩
And that Hogmanay in Aberdeen sounds so special – feeling homesick and then being comforted by our lovely band… that’s just beautiful.
I’m also really moved that Fran’s words helped you when you were feeling low. You and the band deserve each other, in the best way.
That LA Times T‑shirt you made sounds super cool – I bet they loved wearing it as much as you loved making it.
And meeting Clay – that’s awesome!
Thanks for sharing these warm moments – they really make this thread shine.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention – the fact that Masamune Kusano is a Travis fan is such a piece of niche knowledge! Just as you said. 🤓

kawaguchiさん、Thank you so much for all the great recommendations! 😊

I’ve actually heard most of the artists you recommended, except DYGL – those I haven’t listened to yet. I really love Japanese music, you guys are incredibly talented.

But here’s something I must tell you – we’re on the Travis forum because of their wonderful music, and what a coincidence: my username “SumireSailon” actually comes from Hata Motohiro’s song “Sumire” (スミレ), which is the theme song of the Japanese drama スミカスミレ starring Mirei Kiritani (桐谷美玲) and Mitsuhiro Oikawa (及川光博). Please do give it a listen!

And “Sailon” is from Noel Gallagher’s solo band song “Sail On”, hahaha.

Isn’t it funny how our love for Travis brought us together, and then my name turn out to have such connections? It’s been a real joy. 😸

Thanks for the Travis forum that allows us to connect.🥹

これらのアーティストのほとんどは、あなたの国ではかなり有名な方々だと思いますよ。私が個人的に好きな音楽家をいくつか挙げますね。

来生たかお、中森明菜、神聖かまってちゃん、薬師丸ひろ子、女王蜂、Mili、さユり、betcover!!、ロス、松任谷由実、ずっと真夜中でいいのに。、amazarashi、King Gnu、横山克、安瀬聖、坂本龍一、星野源、梶浦由記、宇多田ヒカル、Aimer。

日本の音楽、本当に素晴らしいと思います。普段は、こうした日本のアーティストに加えて、イギリスのロックバンドやシューゲイザー系のバンドもよく聴いています。

ちなみに、最近特に好きな曲は、The Cure の “Trust” と、Ride の “Light in a Quiet Room” です。

もしよろしければ、ぜひあなたの素敵な音楽の趣味も教えてください。きっと私の音楽の幅を広げてくれると思います。音楽の話ができて本当に嬉しいです。😊

Wow, just a small room with a few sandwiches – that really says something about how down-to-earth they’ve always been. No rockstar fuss, just genuine kindness.

And your story about wearing a Travis T-shirt to a festival full of goth kids and black tees? That really made me smile 😂 Two completely different worlds, yet somehow you were right there in the middle of it all. Thanks for sharing these lovely memories – really enjoyed reading them!

@MissTracyPops
That’s a fun coincidence – same birthday as our Neil! 😄 Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re enjoying the thread!
