Travis

[soruyo]

Two more days to the concert and still don't have a ticket, I am hoping that I can go tomorrow, and if not, then I will go on concert day, damm, we mexicans leave all to the last possible moment :) :embarrased:

[Kettercat]

*crosses fingers too* I could use another Travis DVD... VHS tape, actually :P

[noni]

Oooh, about the dvd, it's official. I received a newsletter. Look:

Dear All,

Travis rounded off 2003 in style with a one off Christmas gig at Alexandra Palace,
North London with support from The Kings Of Leon and Ben Kweller, this event was
also filmed for a live DVD, expected later this year. Photos and a feature,
including the full set list from the gig are now available in the Access All Areas
section at Travisonline.

:D

[rf_ucsd]

Awesome! W/ KoL and Ben Kweller!

kewl!

[rf_ucsd]

I'm debating purchasing a digital camera .... not only for the concert but for real life. If I get one, then there'll be a TON of photos to share ...

... they're not going to be as good as Mandy's, but it's not my fault she's better looking than me. If I had her to put in my photos maybe, but beyond that ... I think my seats are aways from the stage.

But I'm still looking forward to it.

[noni]

Aaaah, a digi camera is cool!! I always would like to buy a better one...
As I told you, enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoooooy the gig!!!!

And if you put yourself in the pic with Frannie it will be my faaaaaaaave pic!! :D

Have FUN!!

[LifeIs4Living]

I must agree with Noni, that would be a wicked cool picture! :D

I'm not 100% sure how to work that, but I am getting inspired to try and get it done.

[LifeIs4Living]

:D ooooh sounds good then!

[noni]

I don't know exactly what time is now in San Diego (six hours less than here, I think), but I'm sure Richard is getting ready for the show... :D

[rf_ucsd]

[noni]

[soruyo]

Hey guys, I dunno if it's been posted here before but tonight Travis is performing in the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, it's on CBS, it stars at 12.35 a.m.
The guests are of course Travis, Jeff Probst and Donna D'Errico (yummy)
:rolleyes: :D
The band usually comes out at the end of the show, so it's a bit late but hey, it's Travis.

[noni]

Richaaaaaard, hello!!!! *waves*

Are you ready for rock, baby? :D

[rf_ucsd]

I'm getting psyched up. I'm listening to 12 Memories right now. "Mid-Life Krysis" might be my favorite song on the album because I love the harmony of the chorus.

[noni]

Oooooh, Myd-life krysis is fan-tas-tic!! :D

Mid-life krysiiiiiiiiiiis, you're invading eeeeeveryone...

[soruyo]

Hello guys, well my fave song from 12 Memories is The Beautiful Ocupation, I dunno why but I just can't get it out of my head :D
Sadly yesterday I didn't watch Travis perform on the late show with Craig Kilborn :cry: and to make matters worse I still dunno if I 'll go to the concert, at 3.00 p.m. I will know, man, I just hate that :/ , we mexicans are like that, we leave everything to the last possible moment

[fifi]

:lol: no I slept a couple of hours yesterday :stunned: :rolleyes:
Darn insomnia grrrr. But I aint even tired :)
Good Luck with getting up in the morning :lol: :P

Peace the fack out.

[soleil]

Get your ass outta here!

[Knight Of Cydonia]

i went to the Travis concert friday night and took loads of pics, and I met the whole band and got a setlist. Click on the link here to see: http://coldplay.artscience.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=504036143e181f12d14f6a9779f85138&threadid=69891

^^^Lovely pictures Jodi! thanks ;) You got autographs and pictures and everything, lucky girl! I wanted to see your face, but that's okay, those are some cool pictures! ;) :D :D :D

[rf_ucsd]

Gaby that is a cool avatar! Hey Richard, you gotta tell me the details of the concert when you get back! You can see the venue from your house?? :stunned:

The concert was cool.
Got back about 30 minutes ago.
Yeah, I can barely see the venu from my apartment, but I can. An easy walk.

I'm SO glad I went. None of my crew likes Travis that much so I had to go alone, but it was worth it. I was disappointed there wasn't more of a reaction to Beautiful Occupation, but oh well.

[tealwonder]

^^^Lovely pictures Jodi! thanks ;) You got autographs and pictures and everything, lucky girl! I wanted to see your face, but that's okay, those are some cool pictures! ;) :D :D :D

hehe thanks. I'm a little internet-camera shy so no posting of my picture ;) I'm glad you enjoyed them though. And check out my new avatar :D

that's okay, 'cause I am also an internet-camera shy;) :D ;)



Yes, I just noticed! :sneaky: :D :D ;)

[rf_ucsd]

Well, I didn't take picks or memorize the set list, although I'm sure I can recall it if I had to.

Spreckels theatre is eight blocks from my house, no the previously reported six or "few". But it's an easy walk. It's a theatre house: about 100' from the stage to the back of the theatre but three decks high, seating about 2,000. I bought my ticket late, but me and somebody I met ended up sneaking into some low second level seats. We had a perfect view of everything.

They opened the show with Happy to Hang Around and then went into Re-Offender. Early on Fran's voice we cracking on high notes, and it became clear as the night went on that he wasn't going to try and really stretch it. That's OK: the quality of the live performance usurped any possible disappointment I might have had that Fran's voice wasn't 100%.

Every song they played was great. I don't say that just because. Each song really was well performed. I started thinking how far Travis has come into their career, that they can put on a 16 song main set where you immediately recognize each song, half of them being big hits. And then I realized how much of a Travis fan I was: I knew the words to every song. How could that be? I'd only bought my tickets three weeks before.

For personal reasions, I didn't stick around for the encores (I don't believe in encores), so the may have played other songs. But in addition to the two songs mention, stand out songs (to me) were Mid-Life Krysis, Beautiful Occupation, Side and Sing, Writing to Reach You, and As You Are. They closed the show with Turn, preceded by The Humpty Dumpty Love Song.

I'll always remember the performance of first verse of The Humpty Dumpty Love Song ... when the lyric "You got the glue" came through for the first time my appreciation for the song went through the roof. Listening to the song on the CD I never realized the tightrope Fran walks lyrically through the first verse: balancing quaintness and a potential disaster of triteness to the chorus where "You got the glue" makes the song (when I could have just broken it in half).

There were a couple of disappointing parts to the night. Beautiful Occupation made me sad not only because it made me think of young people dying, but I was disappointed that an American audience treated it like any other song. That leads into the next point: There were a lot of people there treating the show like an N'SYNC concert. Screaming at a couple of points would have been OK. Screaming the whole night? I don't know. I didn't realize that Travis crowds were like that.

But on the whole, this was one of the better shows I've ever been to. I can count the shows I would consider "clearly better" on one hand (maybe a couple of fingers of the second). Travis is safely in that group right below what I consider the spectacular shows I've been to (stuff like Radiohead, or White Stripes/Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the same bill).

The best part: The band was cool. They interacted a ton with the crowd, and I could tell all of the personal stories people have told about them are true. Their tour bus was parked right outside, and I could see that, for the post-show celebration, the band prefers Foster's, Diet Coke and Sprite :)

[rf_ucsd]

and i'll never give into your heart

[rf_ucsd]

OMG ... I just realized: I saw Travis.

You know, the night I joined this board was after a Radiohead concert, when Iw as so psyched from the show that I didn't want to stop listening to music ... it was 2am and I drove to my office so I could listen to my AROBTTH CD ... and I just started posting.

And then rest is periodically-absent-from-the-board history.

[rf_ucsd]

I don't wanna go first!
So many better and more devoted Travis fans then me!
You guys should have the honours!
I'm just happy to Happy to Hang Around.

[rf_ucsd]

You know, y'all ...
Withi his new hair cut, you can really see Franny's MPB.

[rf_ucsd]

I guess it isn't PMB as much as it's just a receding hairline.

[gvargas]

Hey dude! what did you like the best?

[Skinned Alive]

"The grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
When your time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong there is no right
A circle only has one side"
--Side

"So you'd better hold on cos it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out and you feel like shit
Cos they never call you, no they never call you
No they never call, never bloody ever

Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a whore
Talk to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room and you hide in your room
Thinking how you can settle the score"
--The Blue Flashing Light

[Lil'eskimo]

So many great songs to choose from but here are just two favourites :)

Driftwood -

everything is open
nothing is set in stone
rivers turn to ocean
oceans tide you home
home is where the heart is
but your heart had to roam
drifting over bridges
never to return



Turn -

We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long

If we turn, (x8 :D)
Then we might learn

[MrsBerry]

That´s my fave Travis song...

The Humpty Dumpty Love Song

All of the king's horses
And all of the kings men
Couldn't put my heart back together again
All of the physicians and mathematicians too
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two

Cos all I need is you
I just need you
Yeah, you got the glue
So I'm going to give my heart to you


I had a premonition
A movie in my mind
Confirming my suspicions about what I would fine
You followed me to LA, down to Mexico
Came in through the back door
At the start of the show


Chorus

Oh was a perfect day
Oh in a perfect way
You know, something had to go
You left me high, you left me low
Now as I lie in pieces, await for your return
The sun upon my forehead
It burns, baby, burns, baby, burns
An eye on all my horses
You slept with all my men
I'm never going to get it together again

[rf_ucsd]

Que onda?!?!?!

There's nothing like that moment when the music playing between acts stops, the stage goes dark, and you can see the outline of the band walking on stage. Having never seen Travis before, this was probably the highlight: The first moment of their live performance.

There was a point were Fran let somebody from the audience drink from the cup he had on stage. Later he said the contents were a lemon/ginger mixture (again, the throat). I thought I would have been great if the girl who drank from the cup did a spit-take :)

[fifi]

Indefinitely
Time exists just on your wrist so don’t panic
Moments last and lifetimes are lost in a day
So wind your watches down please
’cos there is no time to lose

The Fear
Hottest summer in a hundred years
But summer didn’t bother
Getting up this morning

Safe
When I was young things didn’t last
My only care stemmed to the price of sweets
Now I am older I can laugh
A dolly mixed up man with rotten teeth :lol:

[Kettercat]

My favourite song of all times :D I just have to post the entire song:

Travis / Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....

[rf_ucsd]

I've thought about it a little ...

... my favorite Travis chorus is the one to "Follow the Light."

[noni]

Ooooooh, it's a great review!! Yeeeeah, baby, I'm so glad you enjoyed the gig!! I'm on a Travis mood now...
*plays 12 memories*

The're really good playing live, sooo true!! And I love how they enjoy the shows too, interacting with the crowd. You can feel the conection. It's the magic of music live! :D

[noni]

I'm not very good at lyrics 'cause I have to pay attention and try to translate the meaning...
But 'Turn' was the 1st song I heard of them and I love the lyrics. Sometimes I feel like it's talking about me...


We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long...

[noni]

I've thought about it a little ...

... my favorite Travis chorus is the one to "Follow the Light."

Definitely, you're my man, dear!! :D 'Follow the light' is one of my fave Travis song, and the best in 'The invisible band'.


'Cos it's alright, just follow the light
and don't be afraid of the dark.
In the moonlight you'll dance till you fall
and always be here in my heart.

[noni]

It's great to see people from here enjoyed the gig!! :D :D

Now everytime I hear the beginning of 'Happy to hang around' I close my eyes and I can see their show here in my mind... :smug:

[noni]

i went to the Travis concert friday night and took loads of pics, and I met the whole band and got a setlist. Click on the link here to see: http://coldplay.artscience.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=504036143e181f12d14f6a9779f85138&threadid=69891

Wooooow, your pics are great!! You were really close to the stage!! Thanks for sharing with us!! :D :D

And the best of this pics is realize that... Frannie didn't wear his white suit!! Whooooaaa, thanks God he bought more clothes...
And, definitely, he looks waaaaaaaaay better with the new haircut!!

Frannie, mmmmmmh :D

[rf_ucsd]

Where was Friday's concert?

This is a little gross, but it looks like Fran wore the same shirt the next night.

[rf_ucsd]

I'm not very good at lyrics 'cause I have to pay attention and try to translate the meaning...
But 'Turn' was the 1st song I heard of them and I love the lyrics. Sometimes I feel like it's talking about me...


We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long...

Stupid English-centric pop world! :P
The Police did a lot of songs in Spanish, a lot of time with completely different words to account for the difference in language (e.g., not a straight translation).
Sting still does record a lot of him music in both Spanish and Portuguese.

[noni]

:lol: :lol: @ stupid english-centric pop world!!
In fact, I love reading lyrics in english 'cause it's a good way to learn more. And I only hear a pair of bands playing in spanish. Yeeeeeeap, I'm a totally anglophile!! :P :P

Mmmh, I didn't know that about The Police and Sting... Cool them!! :D

[noni]

It was in L.A.

And it's probably he wore the same shirt because in the european tour he wore the same suit! Dirty man! :P

[rf_ucsd]

Ew!

And he was complaining about how much he sweats.

Ew! Ew! Ew!

Actually, I have multiple versions of the same clothing (jeans, some plain shirts). I'm not sure I would perform back-to-back nights in the same clothes, but it doesn't matter.

[rf_ucsd]

Totally agree. The joy of performing totally comes through Fran and Dougie. Doug's a treat ... though comes off as a bit of a fegula (sic). :)

[noni]

Multi-eeeeeeeewww!! :lol: :lol:
I really hope he also has different shirts... I'm thinking in his gf, poor girl!! :P

We could make a foundation to buy him some different clothes...

[rf_ucsd]

I can't see myself paying for anything for Fran, but maybe we could send his g/f some sympathy cards.

[noni]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nora, we support you, dear!!

[rf_ucsd]

OMG! You know the name of his g/f?!?!?

Noni and Fran sitting in a treat
K-I-S-S-I-N-G

[noni]

A fegula? :huh:

[rf_ucsd]

But it's alright, just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight, you'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart

*sniff, sniff*

[rf_ucsd]

That's my very poor Yiddish spelling of that's languages word for ... well ...

... somebody for whom being cute is part of their culture :P

[noni]

Have I read Noni and Fran kissing in the same sentence?
This hangover is worst that I thought!!

Well, it's easy to know Nora is his gf. 'Sing' and 'Flowers in the window' are dedicated to her in the album. And in the thanks credits he always say: Thanks to mum and nora'...
And she is also in the documentary of the More than Us dvd...

[noni]

Oooooh, Yiddish... don't know a word!

I like your description for 'fegula', it's cool!! And yeah, Dougie is a fegula then, and Fran!! :P

[rf_ucsd]

Stalker!!!!!

:P

[rf_ucsd]

If Fran has a g/f, then he's not a fegula.

[soruyo]

Hello guys, well i'm just borrowing the pc from my brother, I just woke up and thank god I went yesterday to see Travis, awesome show!!!! and plus we got great seats, left orchestra section, on the 6th row (G), I should have bought a disposable camera to take some pics, damm!!!
I got to be on the stage at the finale of the concert, when everybody got up there, while they were singing Why Does It Allways Rain On Me :D :D
Neil gave me hi's drumstick and the setlist :D :D :D :D
Later I'll talk more, I'm so freekin' happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rf_ucsd]

You know ... nobody ever checked my ticket yesterday. I just walked through my door and, essentially, took my seat ... then took a different seat.

I think I could have gone for free!

[noni]

Stalker!!!!!

:P


:stunned: Yeeah, maybe she's a stalker, but she has to suffer Frannie's sweaty clothes, iuuuuuucs!!

It's her load... :P

[noni]

Oooops, you must be single for being a fegula?
Then, delete Dougie from the fegulas list, cause he's not single, he's married!

[rf_ucsd]

Fegulas typically aren't married. In the States, there aren't many states which allow fegulas to marry as fegulas.

It sucks.

[noni]

Huuuuum, I see... Then, fegulas are kind of stalkers, flirting people?

USA laws, so stupid sometimes!! Dougie is lucky for being Scottish and be allowed to marry...

[rf_ucsd]

Fegulas are people who like to be with other fegulas. In all other respects, they're not much different than anybody else. Some people say fegulas are more interested in fashion than a normal man, but that's a little too general.

Some people say fegulas are generall in better shape than other males. I tend to agree with this.

[noni]

Huuuum, I see better now...

Do you see yourself as a fegula? I think you're cute...

[LifeIs4Living]

Stalker!!!!!

:P


:stunned: Yeeah, maybe she's a stalker, but she has to suffer Frannie's sweaty clothes, iuuuuuucs!!

It's her load... :P

Noni..YOU'RE the stalker hahaha, but so am I so it's ok haha :lol: ;)

[rf_ucsd]

I'm cute?!?!?! :embarrased: :D :o ;) :rolleyes: :cool: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :blush: :blush: :stunned: :/ :confused: :blush: :blush: :blush:

I don't know if I like my virtual fiance wondering if I consider myself a fegula or not. She SHOULD know :P

[rf_ucsd]

Stalker!!!!!

:P


:stunned: Yeeah, maybe she's a stalker, but she has to suffer Frannie's sweaty clothes, iuuuuuucs!!

It's her load... :P

Noni..YOU'RE the stalker hahaha, but so am I so it's ok haha :lol: ;)

:lol:

Thanks, Mandy ... I didn't have the heart to tell her :P

[LifeIs4Living]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
No problemo Richard haha :lol:
Noni is a cool cat :D

[rf_ucsd]

Noni is a cool cat, no doubt.
I have great taste!

This was my 3000th post, dedicated to V!

[noni]

Stalker!!!!!

:P


:stunned: Yeeah, maybe she's a stalker, but she has to suffer Frannie's sweaty clothes, iuuuuuucs!!

It's her load... :P

Noni..YOU'RE the stalker hahaha, but so am I so it's ok haha :lol: ;)

:lol:

Thanks, Mandy ... I didn't have the heart to tell her :P


Oh, my Gooooood, how stupid am I!!

*runs and hides under the bed*

[rf_ucsd]

You're not stupid!!!

[rf_ucsd]

In fact, I'm such a jerk, now that I think about it!
I should have told you!
It wasn't your fault.
Era culpa mia porque no te dicho la verdad.

[noni]

Huuuuuum, I think you're cute, and you're my virtual fiancee, then definitely you're a fegula, MY dear fegula!! :D

And there won't be any problem with the USA laws about the wedding 'cause I'm european... ;)

[rf_ucsd]

I'm not sure I really want any more to do with the U.S. than is absolutely necessary. A marriage recognized by Spain seems the better option.

[noni]

*is still under the bed with the cat*

[noni]

Spain then, great!! But I don't like the typical spanish weddings, they're like entertainment shows... We could make something different

[rf_ucsd]

I'll leave you in charge of that. As long as you're there, it will be the wedding of my dreams.

[rf_ucsd]

El gato me acuerdas.

[noni]

Meeeeeeeeew...

*tries to walk elegant like a cat*

[rf_ucsd]

El gato no quiere quedar abajo de cu cama.

[noni]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I love when you talk to me in your fegula mood... :blush:

[rf_ucsd]

Well, a true fegula would want to plan ever part of the wedding.

[noni]

*goes off under the bed and applauses Richard for his spanish*

Clap, clap, clap!! :D

[rf_ucsd]

Si lo gustas, ven aca y dame un beso ...
... y no regrese abajo de su cama.

[noni]

Although you're a true fegula, you should help me with somethings... I don't like the idea of planning everything alone...

[rf_ucsd]

OK ... I'll do my best. Where should we start?

[noni]

A kiss here? In front of all the people? There are some kids here...


To the hell with them!!!



biiiiiig :kiss:

[LifeIs4Living]

Noni!! you are NOT stupid!! You're completely fab-tab-ul-ous!! :D ;)

[LifeIs4Living]

:o oooo la la, I'm gunna go get some popcorn :wink3:

[noni]

We should decide what kind of wedding we want, and the period of the year, and make a quick guestlist...

[rf_ucsd]

Noni!! you are NOT stupid!! You're completely fab-tab-ul-ous!! :D ;)

Totally agree.

She's spec-tac-err-ific.

[LifeIs4Living]

:D agreed.

[noni]

Noni!! you are NOT stupid!! You're completely fab-tab-ul-ous!! :D ;)


Aaaaaaaaw, my dear Travis queen!! Thaaaaaanks, hunni!!

Aaaaw, thaaaaanks... I've improved my skills since we are together...

You didn't need improving ... but you've added more variety. When we first go together you had the smooch and the soft/moist perfected, but now you've also mastered the firm/forceful.

It's a major turn-on :wink3:

[noni]

Huuuuuum, I'm glad you like the variety...
I have to admit that you're a good partner for that... :sneaky:

Ohh, and after the gig, my gf and me were on the way to the parking building, and we passed by the F Street Store, so we went in :blush: :P and there is some pretty kinky stuff there, I'm thinking we will go back :D :D

[noni]

Heeey, Soruyo, que tal?
I'm glad you also enjoyed the gig. Richard also told it was a fantastic gig!!
The setlist is great, almost the same they played here...
Oooooh, Flowers in the window was awesome, wasn't it? When I saw it I was speechless and I couldn't help start crying... :/

[Knight Of Cydonia]

I hope you invite me :P

[Knight Of Cydonia]

:o :o amazing setlist! :stunned:

[noni]

Heeey, Ren, you know what? Last night I was in a music-bar and I saw a guy wearing a Travis t-shirt. It has 'Peace the fuck out' in big letters in the front. And I decided to talk to him.

Noni: Hey, your t-shirt is grrrreat
Guy: Yeeah, it's from Travis. Do you know them?
Noni: Of course, one of my fave bands. I love them
Guy: Aaaah, me too, me too. I bought it in the last gig. Did you go there?
Noni: Ooooo course. An amazing show. They're fantastic!!
Guy: Oh yeah, the show was incredible. The lead singer is great!! And do you remember Flowers in the window? Oooh, I was speechless!
Noni: Oooo yeeeah, I started to cry like a child!
Guy: Aaaaaaw, so nice... It's the magician of their music.
Noni: Yeah, it is... I'm glad to see someone with good tastes here.
Guy: Me too. Nice to meet you!

The night started very good!!! :D

[noni]

Oooooof course, don't doubt it!! You'll be in the 1st row 'cause you're part of the family... ;)

And maybe you could play something in the bagpipes...

[Knight Of Cydonia]

wow! sounds great! More travis maniacs!! :D . btw, my sis is a stalker!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :mellow:

[Knight Of Cydonia]

yay!!!! thx!!!! :P and yup! i'll play! love will come through on bagpipes and flowers in the window on acoustic :D i think i'll wear a white suit .just like fran hahaha :lol: :lol:

[noni]

Well, some people tonight agrees with you, about me being a stalker!!
Maybe I am, yeah... :sneaky:



Ooooh, two news about Travis I read in the official mb:
1. It is planned that the new dvd will be out before summer.
2. A girl has told that they're gonna play in Austria next April. She has the tickets already. Huuuuum, maybe another european tour? Pleeeeeeeeease, I hope so!

[noni]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Well, you know that Frannie is not wearing the white suit in the lasts gigs... you could ask him for it!! :P :P


Do you know a song called 'This years love' by David Gray? It would be fantastic if you could play it there. Richard and me love it and we'd like to hear it in the reception...

[rf_ucsd]

We should decide what kind of wedding we want, and the period of the year, and make a quick guestlist...

I'm not sure what type of wedding I envision. I'd prefer it to be outside in the late summer. Being in scenic place, enjoying nature, is important to me.

As far as the guestlist, I won't be flying many people to Spain for the event. I think my whole party coming from the States will be less than 15.

Well, that's family. They'll be lots of other Coldplayers invited.

[rf_ucsd]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Well, you know that Frannie is not wearing the white suit in the lasts gigs... you could ask him for it!! :P :P


Do you know a song called 'This years love' by David Gray? It would be fantastic if you could play it there. Richard and me love it and we'd like to hear it in the reception...

Yes! This is going to be the song for our dance at the reception.
And I think it only appropriate that you play it for us.

[rf_ucsd]

They were selling those shirts last night. I wanted to get a hoody, but it was too much for my liking.

Heeey, Ren, you know what? Last night I was in a music-bar and I saw a guy wearing a Travis t-shirt. It has 'Peace the fuck out' in big letters in the front. And I decided to talk to him.

Noni: Hey, your t-shirt is grrrreat

The night started very good!!! :D

[soruyo]

Hey everybody, well yeah, when he sang Flowers In The Window It hit me right in the heart, my gf was teery eyed :blush:
And because my gf paid for the tickets :blush: I told her if she wanted a t-shirt, but instead she told me to save the money and pay for a one day ticket to Coachella, ohh well, that's my gf :blush: :blush:
Que noche tan fantasticaaa!!!!!!

[rf_ucsd]

Dang it! I missed it. They must have done that during the encore.

Stupid encores! I hate them!

[soruyo]

Yeah man, you should've stayed for the encore
Remember, allways stay for the encore :)

[rf_ucsd]

Never stay for the encore.

These lame, contrived encores are SO stupid.

Why not just add those songs to the main set, or just say that "we'll be back in 5 minutes." And why does the audience scream the whole time?

So lame.

[Valleyboy]

Woo, my fav travis lyrics are on my sig right now. see if you can find em. :P lol
The beautiful occupation, yay!
Best travis lyrics ever, i tell ya. :cool:

[rf_ucsd]

Hey Thom: Don't encourage people to hail Noni. If too many people start hailing my fiance Imma start bustin' heads.

Well, probably not.

[Kettercat]

Re: Follow The Light -> I have to admit it's one of my least favourite Travis songs :/ way too cheesy for me

[LifeIs4Living]

Fran also came out by himself to perform Flowers In The Window at the gig I saw, but it wasn't the same, it lacked all the lovely sounds that blend together so well in that song and it just didn't feel whole, it was beautiful none the less but it could have been magical :/

[mycdplayerisbroke]

pipe dreams (my fav song by them)

i'd pray to god if there was a heaven
but heaven seems so very far from here

[soruyo]

Well yeah, it lacked all the lovely sounds, but it was special to just see him there all alone singing and everybody in the theatre was sooo quiet, my gf was teery eyed because that is her favorite song
By the way, I thought Fran still had the long hair, but he looks better with his hair short, and in the words of my girlfriend : Doug dances very very very sexy

[soruyo]

It's one of my fave lyrics:

Why Does It Always Rain On Me
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?

[LifeIs4Living]

^I agree, Dougie is VERY sexual on stage, he just moves like a fox :wink3: :sneaky:

[gvargas]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: He's always smiling too!

[mycdplayerisbroke]

bones-
i used to fly like peter pan
all the children flew as i touched their hands

[soruyo]

Yeah, he was allways smiling.
Fran was very talkative too, I like that, he seems like he is allways in a good mood.

[soleil]

re-offender
(b/c it can apply to anything - not just physical abuse)

[noni]

Hey Thom: Don't encourage people to hail Noni. If too many people start hailing my fiance Imma start bustin' heads.

Well, probably not.


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But it's cool to be hailed by people. Let them do it!! :P :P

[noni]

Dang it! I missed it. They must have done that during the encore.

Stupid encores! I hate them!

You didn't stay for the encore?? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
You lost Frannie playing Flowers in the Window just with his guitar!!!
The highlight of the nigh!!!

[fifi]

follow the light has the power to get me out of a bad mood in a second! That's why I love that song :D

[noni]

'Cause it's aaaaaaaaalright, just follow the light and don't be afraid of the daaaaaaaaark...

*dedicates to fifi* :D

[blangy]

* preparing for saturday gig *

:P

[noni]

Blaaaaanca!!!! How are you? Ready for the Travis experience?

[blangy]

Hi Noni, i'm fine thanx and how are you? ;)


and yes i'm counting the days for Travis' show

just 4 more days :rolleyes:

[Leaver]

i'm so lazy to read all that posts :dozey:

[noni]

Hi Noni, i'm fine thanx and how are you? ;)


and yes i'm counting the days for Travis' show

just 4 more days :rolleyes:


I'm fine too, thanks. Now excited for you going to see the guys!!
You're gonna enjoy a lot!! Oh, and try to take pics!! And we want a review, of course... :smug:

[blangy]

yep the review it's sure but about the pics it's gonna be difficult :rolleyes:

[noni]

We should decide what kind of wedding we want, and the period of the year, and make a quick guestlist...

Well, that's family. They'll be lots of other Coldplayers invited.


Late summer sounds great for me. Mid-september maybe. And something outside is what I was thinking too... In the country, or in a old house in the mountains or in the beach!! :smug:
15 people is good. I don't like those massive weddings, I'll only invite my closest relatives and friends.
And yeaaaah, the coldplayers will be the special guests! :D

[noni]

Hide your camera, as I did... :rolleyes:

[fifi]

:blush: awwwwwwwww thanks Noni :P

[rf_ucsd]

Noni's got the glue.

[LifeIs4Living]

^hahah..that reminds me of when my friend Allana hid her camera down her shirt at the Coldplay gig and no one noticed, it was great lol

[rf_ucsd]

I usually hide my camera in an equally perverse area.
Which reminds me ... I need a camera without such sharp edges.

[LifeIs4Living]

^ouch :lol:

[LifeIs4Living]

oh my god Richard...how am I EVER going to choose...wow..this is the HARDEST question to answer EVER..I'll get back to you on this, it needs some serious thought...or maybe I could just say "And I'm so happy cos you're so happy" :D that's a BRILLIANT lyric..I don't have a favourite Travis lyric but this one is
fab-tab-ul-ous :D :blush:

[noni]

Noni's got the glue.

And I have to sniff it? :stunned:

[noni]

Oooh, please Richard, take care with the sharp edges on the perverse area...
Think in your fiancee... :sneaky:

[Leaver]

:stunned:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

Oooh, please Richard, take care with the sharp edges on the perverse area...

oh man
has anyone (men) ever accidentally zipped up their hey hey?

[LifeIs4Living]

^ :o :lol: awwwwwwwww my good friend Aaron did once, we were about to go out for dinner with a few friends and he did that while he was getting ready and i was downstairs watching t.v and i heard the loudest scream possible...awww..lol that was so bad haha poor guy

[mycdplayerisbroke]

haha
the loudest scream possible
lmao

[LifeIs4Living]

hahah awww I felt so bad for him cos he sounded like he was crying lol awww, has that ever happened to you? lol

[mycdplayerisbroke]

err
yeah only once though thankfully
i didnt cry but a tear came out of my eye
girls just dont understand how hard it is to be a guy!

[LifeIs4Living]

^ohh WE don't understand since we're the ones that have to get a period, or have babies, yeah shame on us for not understanding :rolleyes: :lol:

[noni]

It reminds me of 'Something about Mary'... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[rf_ucsd]

And I believe that Noni's watching over me ...

[noni]

Of courrrrse, if it's something related about your... how Eric named it?... hey hey?
:lol: :lol:
